Game 11: Pujols Is Now On

Finally.  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.
