Albert Pujols Will Bring Pro Soccer To St. Louis If It's The Last Thing He Does

Major League Soccer, still the only professional sport with a Pizza Hut Park, is expanding, and our own Albert Pujols wants to get in on the action. The National League MVP-elect (there's an inauguration, right?) is throwing his weight behind St. Louis' bid to bring an MLS franchise through the Arch, or at least reasonably nearby. More »

Pujols Breaks Down, Will Not Be Shot

We all know that Ken Griffey Jr. is injury prone, but is it communicable? No sooner had the Cardinals landed in Cincinnati than Albert Pujols pulled up lame — strained calf — and had to be taken off the field in a wheelbarrow. Earlier he had teamed with Super Friend Rick Ankiel for back-to-back homers, but now he's done for a while. Bad news for Will, good news for the Cubs. More »

It Is Not Wise To Anger Albert Pujols

Now this is what you like to see. Albert Pujols, immersed in controversy, steaming mad and clouting homers. The Cardinals ripping up the NL Central despite preseason predictions of Epic Fail. Tony La Russa, legally sober according to state law. On Wednesday, Pujols — perhaps angered by this post — exited his slump by blasting two homers as the Cardinals beat Houston 6-4 to win their third straight series. He's The Big Poo! More »

Finding Harry Pujols

OK Brian Suksomwong, you've got some competition. Meet Harry Pujols — he's Albert's cousin — who is a graphic artist from San Francisco. OK, OK, simmer down, class. It's not nice to make fun of people's names. Although, Harry chose to call himself that; he could have gone with Harold but didn't. More »

Do Not Bother Pujols While He Is Pop-A-Shotting

In Case You Forgot Who Was Managing The NL ...

We only caught the last couple of innings of the All-Star game on DVR last night/this morning, so we can only conjecture forthwith that, if the last inning was any indicator, this was actually one of the fun ones. Ichiro hit an inside-the-parker, A-Rod was thrown out at home, the immortal Victor Martinez went deep. But because this was a game managed by Tony La Russa, of course, it came down to the whole story being about Tony La Russa. More »

When Golfers And Baseball Players Act

The PGA has their weird playoffs things coming up in September, and to promote them, they've put together these advertisements featuring golfers talking to, you know, real athletes who have been in playoff situations. This one, featuring Albert Pujols and Sergio Garcia, clearly was done in one take. When you're as skilled a thespian as these two, no need for any second line readings.

Albert Pujols Knows Who Wrote The Star-Spangled Banner

Albert Pujols Not Only Wants MVP, He Wants Your "Best Boss Ever" Coffee Mug
