The most expensive grounds-out-to-third-base machine.

Angels fans turning on Pujols already or are you just a troll?

He's from the Angels board. Over there, they're talking about Albert's "quiet 7-game hitting streak," but the consensus view is "not impressed."

I believe it was BJ Rains who tweeted tonight that Beltran is actually getting paid more than Albert this year and also outproducing him. I find that very funny. If he cant even live up to his $12mil paycheck this year what will it be like when he is getting paid $27-30mil on the back end of that deal

But this is the stat that I love the most

CARDINALS 9-3 1st place
ANGELS 4-8 LAST PLACE

"But this is the stat that I love the most: CARDINALS 9-3 1st place ANGELS 4-8 LAST PLACE"

- I thought it was all about winning?

Albert Pujols through 12 games in 2011 -
.229/.296/.313/.609 with 1 HR, 6 RBI

Albert Pujols through 12 games in 2012 -
.265/.308/.347/.655 with 0 HR, 4 RBI

Albert Pujols, before age 30 (2001-2009) -
.334/.427/.628/1.055

Albert Pujols, since age 30 (2010-2012) -
.304/.388/.560/.947

Don't care.

The important stat is what someone said earlier: Cardinals are 9-3! That's a great start.

albert replacement is falling apart though
berks gonna go on the dl becauqe of his calf i do believe
:(

craig is on the dl too. lol

get to see matt adams?

Won't Craig be back sometime soon?

not from what ive read
he may still be weeks away

@#$%!

Craig is supposed to be out a while yet, apparently.

I'm fine with letting Carp2 cover for Berkman--we can see how legit he'll actually be, or if this was just a flash in the pan. When Craig, Berkman, et al are 100%, one of those guys is going to have to go somewhere.

Matt Adams is not on the 40 man roster.

mark hamilton it is then

I don't think they want to start Adams' clock yet, but I could be wrong.
