Pujols = Class

[Jimy is a misspell]

"If I make a team, that's the first guy I put on my team," Pujols said. "He's still got nasty stuff. It was just a game last year, and it's over. I look at is as just another home run to me. They advanced to the World Series, like he said, and that's more important.

 

 

"I'm sure he was pretty excited they went to the World Series, and I'd take a guy like Lidge any time on my team. He's still one of the best closers, even though he has a couple of blown saves. He still has the best stuff out of that bull- pen."

 

It easy to hate on St. Louis, Tony LaRussa and the BFIB, but it's really hard not to like Big Al.

[ZiggyTaxi]

ok

[soapy]

it's really hard not to like Big Al.

 

I find it to be pretty easy.

[Jimy is a misspell]

Yeah, sorry about that. This is probably the wrong board for a cardinal love fest. My bad. 8)

[Mizzou]

There are plenty of reasons to like Albert. Him praising an Astros pitcher is hardly one of them.

I'm just glad big Al is helping out my fantasy team with all those homeruns and rbi's! Keep it up Big Al! My fantasy team needs you! If only he could pitch, because my fantasy team needs pitchers!

He's clearly no Ruth.

True. I've also read about all the charitable work he does.

 

His style is sometimes a bit bombastic to me, but overall the guy seems to be more than decent.

[Shavo]

He is certainly mature for his age ...

Come on, you know what I'm talking about. They guys the best hitter in the game, he couldbe a tremendous jackass like most athlete's these days, but he's not, or so it seems.

I was referring to the him pitching as well.

Ever since D-Lee went down, there has been an unspoken taboo against Cardinals love, specifically Albert.

and there ought to be. right now of all times it's not nice to show up and let us know how good it is to be a fan of our rival team.

I have a feeling the feeling would be the same if Pujols was out and the Cardinals had scored 5 runs in their last 6 games and somebody started a thread on a Cards board about how Lee is such a class act.

 

I know this is the "Rivalries" forum, but this is still a Cubs board. You can't really expect too much Pujols love under the current circumstances.

[Jimy is a misspell]

I'm not a Cards fan.

Who said it's only since DLee went down?

 

And who said it was unspoken?

[soapy]

I'm not a Cards fan.

True, but the point remains the same. You're not going to see much love on a Cubs board for Pujols right now (if ever) just like you wouldn't get Lee love on a Cards board if the circumstances were reversed.

[USSoccer]

I don't care if he walks out to the mound and gives Brad Lidge a big hug. I don't care for Pujols, and I won't care for him.

 

And the fact that he'd pick Brad Lidge 1st in forming a team speaks very highly of his baseball IQ... :^o

Derrek doesn't really do anything that would draw my ire, but I'm more reasonable than some.

I agree. I was just explaining it to Jimy.

Seems like a good guy.

[soapy]

I'm all warm and fuzzy now.

 

I guess I should just stay out of this thread.
