Though it hasn't been officially announced, Omar Minaya will be receiving a four year extension, to reward him for the job he's done with this team. Some would say the extension is a bit premature, considering how some of his moves have been less than desirable.
Anyway, the...
Mo-ace Alou on Phils Radar
Still waiting to hear whether top target Nomar Garciaparra will play at all next season, Phils GM Ruben Amaro Jr. has also inquired about free agent Moises Alou. Alou would fill the righthanded bench bat role for the Phillies. Problem is, he's looking to play more regularly than...

PORT ST LUCIE, FLORIDA -- Noted wicked pissah and Mets outfielder Moises Alou will miss the start of the season after undergoing surgery to fix a hernia. We can only assume that Moises was unable to piss on the hernia in order to toughen it up. Despite Alou's efforts to protect...

In general, the Mets weren't counting on 150 games from Moises Alou this year. But the news that a hernia will knock him out for four to six weeks could press Omar Minaya into action. Even before the injury they had been reportedly searching for a right-handed hitting outfielder. An...

Mets geriatric Moises Alou will miss four-to-six weeks following surgery to correct a hernia.
Alou, at age 41, remains a fearsome hitter, however, he simply is never healthy. At the rate the Mets are going, it seems the hot-hitting Angel Pagan is a lock to break camp with the big...

Moises Alou is out 4-6 weeks for hernia surgery, Ryan Church suffered a concussion last week, and Beltran and Delgado are having issues with injuries they sustained last year. Quite frankly, the Mets' antique lineup faces issues before it's a legitimate threat throughout the year.

Mets General Manager Omar Minaya said yesterday that outfielder Endy Chavez, who is currently on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring, will miss at least another three weeks.

The Disasters That are MLB Salaries
With all this money being thrown around, shouldn't baseball stop and re-evaluate its salary system? Not that an arm like Zito's isn't worth every penny of the $80 million he will warrant, but should aging veterans such as Moises Alou be earning $8 million this year to play...

Bonus points for those playing the streaking Alou in the playoffs. With Alou on third, Ray Durham tried to steal 2B. Johnny Estrada tried to nail him there while a frisky Alou came home. It wasn't exactly the same as Carl Crawford's steal from third earlier in the season, but...
