Pujols

[king]

Over 90 bats this season he has 0 home runs. I blame the angels if they would of payed him $100 mill more he would of hit a few.

[shovel]

If Pujols can wait 'till next year, he can FEAST on Astros pitching...

I'm loving it!  i never liked him, and i hate the angels!  maybe he should change his name to poo-holes.

It's May 3rd and there have been 2 more no hitters thrown than Albert Pujols homeruns.

Also Chris Johnson and Carlos Beltran had more RBi's Last night than Albert does all year. 


Is he just having a hard time adjusting to the AL or is this the beginning of a drastic decline?

[king]

If angels give him more money he will hit a few.

How can anyone not like Albert Pujols? He's a class act in my book and the shot he hit off of Brad Lidge is still orbiting.

I agree.  I watched a segment about Albert adopting his future wife's daughter who has down syndrome.  It's hard not to root for an athlete who took on that resposibilty at such a young age.  Most athletes would run from that, especially since the kid wasn't his.  He earned my respect and still continues to run a foundation for Downs syndrome research.

He's not an astro! Duh! ;D

Pujols with a 2 run HR today.

Very confident player but shows respect for other players.....not full of himself.

Wish he was an Astro.

He reminds me of Beltran after he left the Astros. Never played up to the money.

Beltran is actually doing a great job of filling in for Pujols in St Louis.  He is tied for 1st in Hr's and 2nd in RBI's in the NL.

Your right, he is doing pretty good right now. My thought is the years with the mets rights after he left the stros.

i don't know, just something about him.  i respect him, just don't like him.  and now that he left his hometown team that made him a ridiculous offer in order to run to LA for an even more ridiculous offer, i like him even less.  glad to see him struggling since he's in Texas' division.
