Our guy has been fairly quiet this spring.  To us – that just means Albert Pujols is going to explode in the regular season.  Pujols belted his first dinger of the spring which was over 440 ft. off of Tomko (former teammate).  Everyone can now relax – Albert hit a homerun!  I think we can still safely assume he’ll hit 40+ in 2007!

Us founders and owners of AlbertPujolsClub.com are hoping to make our first appearance at Pujols5 this coming Sunday for opening day.  We will be going to the pep rally and the game – but before that we hope to try out the best restaurant in St. Louis.  Pujols5 Grill!!!

Anyone else be in the area for opening day?  We’d love to meet up with you and chat.

The Cardinals and Orioles finished in a 2-2 tie Tuesday. After a scare by our guy Albert Pujols – he finished 1-3 with a double.  Enjoy a couple pictures below from today’s game.

My heart skipped a beat when I heard Albert Pujols collided with umpire Joe West Tuesday afternoon.  Pujols was going for a ball hit down the line when he nailed West.  He fell to the ground grabbing his left shoulder in pain.  After being on the ground for a few minutes – Albert got up and continued playing (WHEW).

So are we to worry that he’s not 100%?  Well, Pujols erased those worries the very next at bat when he smashed a ball a billion feet (but foul).  Then he continued to double to right field.

Pujols will take Wednesday off but not due to the injury.  It’s his normal day off.

Albert Pujols went 1-3 on Monday, but was not enough as the Houston Astros shut out the Cardinals 5-0. Adam Wainwright started for the Cardinals and went 4 innings of no hits, no runs, while walking 2 and striking one out. The Cardinals only mustered 7 hits on the day, including two by Scott Spezio.

The Cardinals beat the Marlins for the 2nd straight game on Sunday by the score of 12-3.  Pujols is starting to swing a hot stick going 2-3 with an RBI.

The Cardinals defeated the Marlins 8-1 in Grapefruit league action on Saturday.  Albert Pujols did not play for this game.

The Cardinals lost 6-5 to the Mets in their 3rd spring training game. Albert went 1-2 with 2 RBI in the game. This was the first start for former Cardinal reliever Braden Looper.

Our man, Albert Pujols went 0-3 for the second straight spring training game as the St. Louis Cardinals dropped to 1-1 on the spring with a 4-3 loss at the hands of the New York Mets. Scott Spezio and Chris Duncan both hit solo homeruns for the defending World Series Champions.

Chris Carpenter threw 3 innings, giving up 2 runs, on 2 hits. Tyler Johnson, the Cardinals lefthanded reliever took the loss going 1 inning, giving up 2 hits, and 1 run. Jose Reyes homered for the Mets, and David Wright and Carlos Beltran each had two hits.

The Cardinals and Mets will play again on Friday.
