Dodgers at Giants, Game 3 of a three-game series

Again I was unable to write during much of the first inning. I'll be picking it up at Bengie's improbable triple.

Who would've thought Bengie Molina would ever hit a triple, let alone to left center. It looked like a home run but, like so many hard hit drives in Giants Stadium, fell short due to wind. Juan Pierre, CF  for the Dodgers, had enough time to get to the ball, but seemed to be convinced that it was well over the wall. He put little effort into running it down made an awkward jump at the ball. In fact, on the replay it looks like he may have jumped at the ball after it hit the wall. 

The ball careemed into dead center field and Pierre jogged after it. Eventually Ethier, coming all the over from right got to the ball but by that time the slowest runner in baseball was just 50 feet from third. There wasn't even a throw.

Great two run triple. You won't see that again.
