Prince Albert Pujols, he reigneth

The 28-year-old first baseman

Stop right there.

Proof that Gary Cohen of the Mets crew, admittedly a very good play-by-play man, is overpraised: He too said last night that Ludwick is having a better year than Pujols.

The War Against Counting Stats will take another generation to win.

Justin (Chicago): So we really do believe that Pujols was actually born in 1980 still?

Rob Neyer: (12:51 PM ET ) Given that he's showed no real aging pattern at all, I'm beginning to wonder if he's not an immortal, like Thor or Hercules.

so is he the best player on his team yet

jeez, even SUTCLIFFE said last night Pujols shd be MVP. (and cited OBP & SLUG; millennium arrives)

Motherfuckers that give Howard 1st place votes should be banned from life.

THAT'S RIGHT I SAID MOTHERFUCKERS -- THIS TIME IT COUNTS

they need to enact a sportswriter pogrom if pujols gets anything less than 100% of the 1st place votes

Walking across the clubhouse to his locker, Manny Ramirez literally went out of his way to say that he didn't deserve to be the NL most valuable player and that Albert Pujols of the St. Louis Cardinals did. "I voted for Pujols," Ramirez said.

But not before threatening to eat the heads of all his teammates' children.

so the man gets a night off and his team - best record in baseball - proceeds to lose to the Nationals - with the worst record in baseball.

jusayin.

^I started Pinero in vorppedminds. One earned run.

just blew out 'lectric lights a la Redford

Knocking out the "I" in "Big Mac" wasn't quite as cinematic as the Natural, but still impressive!

MLB Network is not a movie

(The Natural isn't much of one, either)

JESUS CHRIST

dont understand why they pitch to him

Me neither, but I'm glad they do.

After opening the third inning with a fly out, Pujols returned to the Cardinals clubhouse to review video. There he predicted to assistant hitting coach Mike Aldrete that his next at-bat would ricochet off the yet-to-open Royals Hall of Fame behind the visitors bullpen in left field. “He didn’t say he might hit the Hall of Fame. He said he would hit the Hall of Fame,” Aldrete recalled . . . When Meche finally threw the pitch, Pujols swatted it some 423 feet off a Hall of Fame window.

CARDINALS ACQUIRE MARK DeROSA FROM INDIANS; REDBIRDS SEND CHRIS PEREZ & PLAYER-TO-BE-NAMED TO TRIBE...

cubs fans will love that! would rather have lost Mott over Perez :/

this fucking guy.

they can give him the mvp already

you could rearrange the seasons of this guy's career in any order you'd want and they'd all look the same, this flat pattern of awesome.

Three singles--that's how close Pujols is to an N.L. Triple Crown this morning. I got really caught up in Delgado's bid in 2000, and in the end the only thing he led the league in was doubles. (He finished with a little more or a little less than 90% of the league-leading total in each of the TC categories.) I was six when McClain won 30--I know that won't happen again unless the game profoundly changes. Dimaggio's streak, all but impossible; .400, maybe. I've always believed there'll be another TC, though. How do people assess Pujols' chances?

sorta buy in 2 the argument from earlier in the season that theres not enough around him 4 giant RBI #s (tho i guess now w/ derosa [who is hurt?] & a non-pitcher batting 9th maybe im wrong)...idk it'd be interesting to see the stats of his # of ABs w/ RISP vs. say Prince Fielder

~also his IBB #s may start to take off...noticed SF walked him in the 1st inning yesterday

all depends on Wright. Wright is obv off the juice this year, his isoP is about 50% of his career average but he's still hitting for average.

worst troll yet.

btw guys, it's Suggest Ban Shasta Day.

oh the irony ;_;

bases loaded, 3 run lead and you pitch to Albert = GO CRY WITH MARK PRIOR DUSTY LOL

O_O

This just made my night! Is he back in the league lead for RBI's now? *checks*

WELL?

lol rbis

I got sidetracked by pizza time. It appears that Prince Albert Pujols er reigneth

wau espn just ran a stat...alb w/ bases loaded is 7-9, 5 HR, 2.444 slg this year

still hasn't been walked with the bases loaded...

rockin' his tongue sneer tonight too :P

Good lord, even off the bench he's unstoppable.

He wasn't far off. A few years ago, I tried to come up with a quick and easy method of ranking post-Yastrzemski Triple Crown bids. I'll just link to the piece rather than try to describe it here. By my estimation, Pujols edged ahead of Larry Walker's 1997 season for the seventh-closest run at a Triple Crown since Yaz. The top seven: 1. Dick Allen ('72), 2. George Foster ('77), 3. Jim Rice ('78), 4. Mike Schmidt ('81), 5. Dante Bichette ('95), 6. Willie McCovey ('69), 7. Pujols ('09). He came up 9 hits and 6 RBIs short.

185 assists, a record.
