Per his own coaches decision.

I know he is being a baby about this but their is a part of me that sort of agrees with him. He is one of the 3 most feared hitters on that team and probably should have been put into bat in the 9th or at some time during the game.

I imagine it mst suck for the managers to have to find playing time but their was a chance to get him in.

Why am I hearing a rumor that Pujols was in the locker room showering up in the ninth? I did not watch the game, but I am hearing reports that he was not even on the bench....
 

And if the Road Warrior says it, it must be true..

Angry Pujols left on the bench during All-Star Game
By The Associated Press
July 11, 2007
San Francisco — Albert Pujols was angry about being left on the All-Star bench and the St. Louis slugger took aim at the National League manager — who just happened to be Tony La Russa of his own Cardinals.

"It's the All-Star Game. He can do what he wants," Pujols said last night. "He does whatever he wants. If I wasn't expecting to play, I wouldn't have come up here."

Pujols, the NL MVP in 2005 and key to the Cardinals' win in the World Series last year, said La Russa didn't talk to him the entire game. Pujols could only watch when Aaron Rowand flied out with the bases loaded to end the American League's 5-4 win.

"If he wants to get upset, he can get upset," La Russa said. "Whatever he wants to do, he can do. It's America. That wasn't the most important thing tonight."
