I completely understand what you are saying, but there is a difference between being fiery and embarassing a teammate.
I dunno Alou seems lackadasial, not that he intentionally intends to show a lack of hustle...but it is certainly apparent. How many times have you seen him barely run to first sometimes? Maybe the situation is a shot to third, but why give up? His lack of exhibited effort is what drives me nuts. Yes, he is one the best hitters in the league, and yes his good greatly shadows the bad but his bad seems like something that is so easily and fundamentally corrected....But like Grandpa, the man won't change. ...In addition Alou should review how appropiate his attitude is at times, especially when he looks like a fool chastising a fellow teammate.
That was one of the worst things I've ever seen. The fly ball was deep to left field and the throw from the outfield was just a throw in, not some lazer job. I had flashbacks of Derek Bell tossing catches into the stands with only two outs in the inning!
