Bengie Blogs

I can't believe I didn't find out about this until recently, but Bengie Molina has a blog on MLB.com entitled "Behind the Mask." Bengie actually updates it fairly frequently. The two most recent posts discuss winning the Player of the Week Award and picking up his 1,000th career hit. He's a much more eloquent writer than Barry Bonds, and he actually talks baseball.

In other news, Bengie was none too pleased about Brian Sabean's comments regarding the Giants' first round draft pick, catcher Buster Posey. Sabean said that Posey is "on the fast track and Bengie's clock is winding down." Molina said, "It hurt my feelings because I came here to work hard every single day. I give them everything I have." While Sabean insisted that he was referring to Molina's contract and not his career, Bengie has every right to be upset. Even though we all know there's a good chance Bengie won't be back after next year, it's extremely disrespectful to say that the guy who's been carrying the offense is "winding down." Nobody takes more pride in their game, or takes losses harder, than Molina. I don't care how good Buster Posey is. He's going to have some big shoes to fill.
