Free Flow

Moises Alou's checklist:
  • Pee on hands.
  • Pee on Mets.

The flow was steady tonight at Balco Park as Alou's five RBI's sent the Mets reeling, 6-2. It's their fifth loss in seventh games. Irony of ironies, Alou's chances were set up in part by Mets pitchers intentionally walking a .222 hitter twice, the first coming with two outs and a runner on first to bring up Urine Man. And Alou's three run HR in the first off of Tommy Two Teeth (or more accurately tonight: Tommy Two Bad Frames) helped by the Bonds walk set the wheels in motion.

But it was the Mets falling just short of tying the game in the sixth, where Carlos Delgado's drive to left center fell into Randy Winn's glove after coming to within one run of possibly chasing Matt Cain was tonight's nail (yet another struggling pitcher finding the Mets lineup as just the tonic he needs to get himself right...speaking of which, does Moises Alou need to pee on Carlos Beltran's leg to help it heal?)

Metstra, Willy was horrible tonight and I was hoping you'd call him out. Not pinch hitting for Chavez, not walking Bonds with Glavine turned out to be big decisions. Maybe the Mets should just keep hitting the ball towards Barry until his knee explodes.

I did think walking Bonds with two down and a runner on first as he's struggling was very odd.

Has anyone else noticed that Reyes is only hitting .220? We won't win without him getting on base.

You are all hypocrites and that is why OJ is innocent and Johnny COchran is a great patriot.

You know, Pacific Bell/SBC/AT&T/Circle K Park really is a beautiful place to see a baseball game, and I would probably love the place if the Mets weren't 2-14 (or whatever) there over the past 5 years, and I wasn't constantly slumping out of the stands with my Mets cap hung in shame.

On the plus side, my mahi mahi taco was excellent.

That's why they call him Moistes Alou.
