Here are two things I never expect to see in the same boxscore again in my lifetime:

SB Molina (1, 2nd base off Santana/Molina)

SB Molina (1, 2nd base off Schoeneweiss/Molina)

Is there a food which drains all the power from the muscles in your arms and transfers it to the muscles in your legs?  What was served in the Molina cucina on Monday night? 

The stolen bases undoubtedly will be a part of an episode of "Too Many Molinas", and we will be in a mess of trouble if Jobu gets to the conspiracy theories.

Mike, sort of.  It's important not to land on a locked front leg.  In other words, a pitcher must have flexion in his glove-side knee when he lands and transfers the weight.  (Just as in jumping in the air, like rebounding a basketball; you need flex in the joint to take the weight).  But as you'll notice from the Kazmir picture, although his knee is locked the time is post-stride and post-transfer; Kazmir has completed the stride and has even followed through; his hips have fully rotated past 90 degrees and his weight is fully committed on that front foot.  The knee straightens out in order to preserve his balance.

Try this experiment yourself; bend fully forward from the waist while on one leg (right leg for lefties, left leg for righties) with your other leg behind you, and try to keep your balance (a) with knee locked and (b) with knee flexed.  You will probably find (I do) that balancing is easier with the knee locked, because it creates a more solid, stationary fulcrum over which to balance your body weight.

Quick note of interest on the TEX/NYY game ...

The Yankees were down 9-0 and came back from that far down for only the fourth time in franchise history and first time since 1987, or probably before some Box readers were born.

Jamey Newberg has sent out two plaintive, distressingly depressing "Newberg Reports" to Ranger fans since the loss; not only did TEX blow the 9-0 lead, they came back to lead 12-11 in the top of the ninth when Posada's walkoff two-run shot ended it

 I’ve never understood why the likes of Shannon Stewart are booed when they return to Toronto.

I was at a Braves/Mets game in Atlanta a few weeks ago; Tom Glavine against John Thompson. There were a lot of boos when Glavine's name was announced. It was pretty sad.

On the other hand, they cheered Julio Franco when he came in to pinch hit. Go figure.

Shannon Stewart was cheered when his name was announced the first two times on Opening Night. After that, the right field fans during Opening Night started to get on his back and one thing led to another for the rest of the series. For the most part, people do recognize alot of the good that he did do in Toronto, the booers are a small percent of fans who can't justify half the things they say anyways.

It probably has more to do with the years of team mediocrity while Shannon was here that has some people with bad tastes in their mouths. Other than Hentgen, I really don't think Torontonians ever cheer on players from that era. On the contrary, you could hold a Derek Bell Day at the Dome and he'd get a 2 minute standing ovation. I guess it's some strange form of cognitive dissonance.

I really don't think that Carlos gets booed at all. There will be some boos in there, but the fans really appreciate what he gave to the franchise. Heck, Delgado jerseys are still being ordered by fans at the RC almost two years since he last played here.
