Sigh. Let’s not talk about the 4-game skid, shall we? Even this cut-rate blog gets more hits then the Sox at the moment.
An amusing story from ESPN: “Alou says the secret to hitting without batting gloves is to harden your hands and prevent calluses. One of his methods might win someone the prize money on the TV show, “Fear Factor.” He urinates on his hands. That’s the honest truth. Alou said he isn’t sure where he learned this distasteful folk medicine, but it wasn’t from his famous father. And it works for Moises.” Great. What do his teammates think when they win and have to do the hand-slapping thing? And who gets the job of picking up his bat after he gets a hit? I guess when Alou strikes out, he gets pissed off.
Thank you ladies and gentleman! I’ll be here all week! Remember to tip your waiters!
