PLAYERS: Moises Alou
TEAMS: Chicago Cubs

As bad as it was that the Red Sox took so long to open their arms to Bill Buckner, it doesn't hold a candle to Moises Alou and his statements about the infamous Bartman play in the 2003 NLCS. If Alou's statements that the ball was uncatchable were truly honest, he would have said them much sooner.

Moises Alou's latest admission that he wouldn't have caught the Bartman ball has led many fans to begin forgiving Bartman. Instead, it would be a good time to apologize to Bartman. However, little can be done to make up for the lost years of Steve Bartman's life.

Mets: Who's On 2nd? Mark Loretta?

According to the Daily News, the Mets have been looking at Astros 2nd baseman Mark Loretta. Much like Paul Lo Duca, Loretta is a professional hitter and ideally suited for any lineup's No. 2 slot.

Beltran Down

This isn't good news for the Mets who have been struck by injuries all season long. Judging by Beltran's comments, he's not sounding too positive about an immediate return either.
