huge pujols fan, but i'm just dumbfounded as to why teams pitch to this guy? he is going to come very close to winning the triple crown. he bats in a lineup full of average (I think that is being generous) hitters. i honestly believe this is right now the greatest offensive year a player may have ever had, if you factor in the lineup around him, just my opinion
Why did the Cubs pitch to him???
CMON Quade!!!!
ST. LOUIS (AP)—Albert Pujols(notes) hit a game-ending homer in extra innings for the second straight day, beating the Chicago Cubs with a leadoff shot in the 10th inning of the St. Louis Cardinals’ 3-2 victory on Sunday.
Pujols hammered a 2-1 belt-high fastball from Rodrigo Lopez(notes) (0-1) an estimated 446 feet to left for his 10th career game-ending homer. His fifth during a seven-game homestand and No. 13 for the season gave the Cardinals a three-game sweep over the scuffling Cubs, who have lost nine of 11.
