Game 11: Pujols Is Now On

by admin on April 16, 2007

pujols-42.jpgFinally.  Game 11 of the season is what we have been waiting for.  The Cardinals offense behind Albert Pujols finally erupted.  The Redbirds beat up on the Brewers 10-2 on Sunday.  They beat a solid pitcher in Ben Sheets to make it even sweeter.  Albert finished 2-5 with 2 HR’s, 5 RBI’s and 2 Runs.  Moved his average up to .186 and hopefully will continue rolling through April.  Pujols and all the Cardinals wore number 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson during this game.

BEWARE: Don’t get this guy heated up – he’ll start to punish opposing teams!

Albert always keeps things in perspective because of his respect for this game.  After the game he responded:

“Obviously, this year hasn’t been working out early,” Pujols said. “But just because I haven’t found myself at the plate I don’t want to go crazy.”

The Cardinals moved to 6-5 on the young season just a half game behind Cincinnati for 1st place.  They now go up against the Pirates again so it could be a nice time to put together a little run.
