Now that my entirely sincere apology is out of the way, let's get back to the issue at hand: Albert Pujols, unlike Barry Bonds, is an aged steroid cheat who stains the game with his very presence!

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The St. Louis Cardinals’ Albert Pujols has agreed to participate in tonight’s Home Run Derby in San Francisco, even though he is mired in a career-worst power slump. Pujols, who has 16 home runs, and Alex Rios of the Toronto Blue Jays were the final participants added.
Pujols’s homerless streak reached 22 games and a career-worst 74 at-bats in the Cardinals’ 7-0 victory over the Giants yesterday.
Rios, Minnesota’s Justin Morneau, Vladimir Guerrero of the Angels and Magglio Ordóñez of the Tigers are the American League’s representatives for the Derby. Pujols, Philadelphia’s Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder of the Brewers are the National League contestants.

Oh, for a career-worst power drought to mean 16 HRs at the All-Star Break.

2007 & 2008 are his lowest IsoPs of his career.
I thought power was supposed to increase through *ahem* age 26-28?
― Steve Shasta, Friday, 16 May 2008 16:29 (fifteen years ago) link
IsoP is negatively correlated with hair loss, if that's what you're implying.

Guy has plantar fasciitis! It's amazing he can hit at all. That shit is painful.

OBP is only important in regards to Barry Bonds...

hi bnw, i'm talking about POWER. not walks, not batting average, not on-base percentiles.
i am talking about POWER.
And how Albert's POWER seems to be waning as he enters the eversofaint twilight of his mid-twenties.
― Steve Shasta, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:48 (fifteen years ago) link
how much of the waning is due to the elbow tear?
― chicago kevin, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:51 (fifteen years ago) link
hi steve! if his power was rising into his "thirties" would you be on here insinuating something else about him? I am guessing YES.
― bnw, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:57 (fifteen years ago) link
"how much of the waning is due to the elbow tear?"
NONE! IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF HIS FAKE AGE!
― Alex in SF, Friday, 16 May 2008 17:59 (fifteen years ago) link
The dude is playing through some pretty significant injuries and still hitting very well. I don't think it's very hard to understand how those injuries could reduce his power. I mean, the Cardinals were planning on having him miss the entirety of this season if they fell out of contention early. He's only still playing because they're in the mix for the division.

SHUT UP SHUT UP FAKE AGE SHUT UP!

Is Shasta calling all the surge-in-NL-offense articles dumb, I wonder?
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 16 May 2008 19:18 (fifteen years ago) link
Well obviously that's because he's been on the juice all along, right.

i really want him to reach base in all 162

"Pujols’ first homer was massive. He led off the fifth inning by hitting reliever Justin Germano’s second pitch into the balcony on the fourth floor of the Western Metal Supply Co. building in Petco Park’s left-field corner, 405 feet from home plate."
"He hit another towering shot leading off the eighth, this one into the seats in left-center on a full-count pitch from left-hander Sean Henn."

wow, first Albert lines one off Chris Young's face, then knocks Bard out of the game by sliding into his ankle? DESTROYER OF PADS!
