The I-Saw-You-Doggin'-It Award
The winner of the first-ever E.K. Sports I-Saw-You-Doggin'-It Award goes to Moises Alou of the Chicago Cubs. In today's game against the Giants, Moises hit a ground ball right back to pitcher Jason Schmidt. Alou jogged to first the entire way. This is unacceptable. You bust your butt down the line, period. You never know what can happen. If Schmidt's throw takes Andres Galarraga off the base for a fraction of a second and he has to scramble back, you could be safe if you sprint all the way. Congrats, Moises. Not a good way to follow up yesterday's game-winning home run. You're paid $9 million a year to play hard. Moises Alou, I Saw You Doggin' It.
