Quote of the Day: Moises Alou on Steve Bartman

Found April 01, 2008 on The Sports Point:
PLAYERS: Moises Alou
TEAMS: New York Mets,  Chicago Cubs

Bartman
"Everywhere I play, even now, people still yell, 'Bartman! Bartman!' I feel really bad for the kid. You know what the funny thing is? I wouldn't have caught it, anyway." -Moises Alou on the infamous Steve Bartman foul ball incident in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS Why didn't Alou come out and say this in the months or even the year after the play happened? He probably could have saved Bartman a lot of grief if he had and his reaction after the play did not help Bartman either. The interview with Bartman from Bugs and Cranks after the jump is an interesting read, check it out.

Moises Alou to AP reporter... "Everywhere I play, even now, people still yell, 'Bartman! Bartman!' I feel really bad for the kid...I wouldn't have caught it, anyway." We know Cubs fans will never forget, but are they ready to forgive Steve-O. All the guy wanted was a game ball from the NLCS.

Quote of the Day: Ernie Banks on his statue

Via The Sports Point  |  March 31, 2008
"It's a miracle that I made it from there to here. When I had my number retired, I thought it was the greatest honor because it was the first number ever retired by this franchise. It will still be there 100 years from now, and that's how I feel about this statue. I know it'll be here 100 years from now. It's a miracle. But it is proof that if you find satisfaction in your life,...

Pedro Martinez couldn't fulfill his role as the Number Two punch after Johan Santana. However, you can't blame Martinez totally as his left hamstring strained itself of its own volition. Apparently, it was a move in rebellion to playing second fiddle to Santana's left hamstring.

And the Mets were Worried about Pedro's Arm!

Via Baseball Reflections  |  April 02, 2008
The NY Mets are sure glad they got Johan Santana today as Pedro Martinez told manager Willie Randolph that he might have heard a "pop" in his hammy on that last pitch he threw. Barring a miracle, it looks as if Mr. Martinez might be going back on the DL. The question is, will it be the 15 day variety or longer? Good thing they didn't trade Jorge Sosa as some reports...
