shoelessjoelives Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 The guy ESPN dubbed "The Machine" in their ads a few months ago is now out til at least August. Albert Pujols was hurt trying to make a tag after taking an off-line throw from 2B Pete Kozma. The collision with the Royals' Wilson Betemit caused the injury.

TripleDogDare Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 In 2011, he hasn't quite lived up to that nickname, but the timing of the injury is unfortunate because he was coming around. Now, his current 10-season streak of 0.300 BA, 30 HR, 100 RBI may be in jeopardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoelessjoelives Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 Might be. I would not count him out yet but he will have to get hot when he returns and stay hot til the end of the year to reach that 30-100 level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripleDogDare Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 He's certainly capable and I think his pride (and free agency) will be strong incentives. As a Cardinal fan, I want him to come back strong for the team's sake - and I definitely hope he remains a Cardinal beyond this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
