Here is my take on Albert’s situation… All the articles you read state Albert is quickly feeling better. Alot of the internet message board people are BEGGING for him not to come back too early. I hope the same. The Cardinals are doing okay without him. Are they the same team? No, but they are doing okay.  I say Albert misses the rest of the games until the all star break. As I write this, he misses the following 22 games. Put that with the 9 he has missed so far, total 31 games. He comes back Thursday July 13 against the LA Dodgers. My guess is in his first at bat, he definately gets a standing ovation from the crowd, but then is walked on five pitches. My guess for his season numbers..

.323, 44 homeruns, 118rbi’s, and another Central title..
