APC Pujols News

Albert since his return..

Think the St. Louis Cardinals missed Albert Pujols while he was gone? Think the fans won’t give him an ovation when he comes to the plate tonight in St. Louis? Albert has been back four games, and just mashed the baseball. Just goes to show how much of a hitting stud Albert is.

He came back Thursday in Detroit, and promptly went 4-4, a walk, and a RBI. The RBI was the go ahead RBI in the 9th until the Cardinal bullpen blew his chance.

On Friday in Kansas City, Albert may not have had his best, going 0-2, but the Royal pitchers still walked him twice. Okay, 4-6 since his return.

On Saturday, Albert went a quiet 1-4, but was smoking the baseball. Okay, 5-10 since his return from the DL, and on base in every game.

Sunday, Albert showed he still had some pop. He crushed a homerun in the 6th and almost hit one again later, in the 8th. Albert ended the day 2-4, with a double, and a homerun, driving home two runs, and scoring twice.. Okay 7-14, since his return.

Except Albert to stay hot. As the Mets and the Cubs come to town the Cardinals are only 2.5 games out of first place. Albert smells another opportunity at postseason, and when he gets that smell- LOOK OUT!
