According to Ben Shpigel at the NY Times, desperate for a remedy to his ailing quad, Moises Alou who likes the ponies, has even tried rubbing it with ointment he uses on his horses.

Alou said of his failed attempt:

“I just want to get better, I’m frustrated. I came here to play, not get hurt. I mean, I have to play. I didn’t think it would be this long, and I’m very disappointed.”

Shpigel also writes:

If there is one good thing about the injury, Alou said, it is that he has grown more acclimated to New York, particularly the route he takes to the Hospital for Special Surgery.

“The Triborough Bridge to the F.D.R. to Exit 13.” Alou said.

Yeah, real great.
