Pujols v. Jeff Francis

Opening Day! Yes! The 2008 MLB season is officially here! The St. Louis Cardinals, who come in as a huge underdog, will open up their season Monday at home, against the defending National League Champion- Colorado Rockies. The Rockies will throw lefthander, Jeff Francis, while the Cardinals throw fireballer Adam Wainwright. This should be a good ball game. Let’s take a look at how Albert has done against the Rockies, and Francis:

Career v. Rockies:

• 47 games
• 161 at bats
• 56 hits
• 41 runs
• 10 doubles
• 17 homeruns
• 45 rbi’s
• 30 walks
• 10 strikeouts
• .348 career average

So the man is hitting .348! Woah. Time to dominate the Rockies this week.

Career against Jeff Francis:

• 9 at bats
• 3 hits
• 1 double
• 0 homeruns
• 0 rbi’s
• 6 walks
• 1 strikeout
• .333 career average

Okay, so Francis has done pretty well against El Hombre. It’s time to change those numbers. We say the Cardinals win a 8-3 ball game, while Albert goes 3-5 with a homerun and 3 rbi’s. A little bias for opening day? Probably, but it’s time for AP to dominate!
