June 22, 200619 yr I disagree. I think Pujols was fighting hard to get in the lineup as soon as he can and he passed every test they threw at him in the last few weeks.
June 23, 200619 yr QUOTE(Wedge @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 07:27 PM) I think that's really dumb if that's what's happening. Why risk Pujols long term (both the rest of the season and beyond) by rushing him back? QUOTE(UC76 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 07:30 PM) Pujols won't matter if we score 13+ runs gain. So let's get to it. Exactly. If I'm the Cards, I don't give a flying flip how Albert SAYS he feels. If I don't have a doctor saying, "Yup, he looks 100%", he's not getting on that field. Make that 5 doctors. And who cares how badly they're losing? If they wanted to fix that they'd call up/bring in a pitcher. I just have to believe the Cards are not bringing him up a second earlier than they would if they were blowing everyone out 10-0 ever since AP went down. To rush someone so important would be even too stupid for the Royals.
June 23, 200619 yr 0 for 4 night for Albert. Hopefully he worked out the kinks in his swing tonight and he goes off on the Pussycats.

June 23, 200619 yr QUOTE(soxpride77 @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 05:10 PM) You'd give the nod to Reyes and his two starts over Marquis and Mulder who have a seasoned MLB resume to fall back on. He may have legitimate stuff, but he is still considered a prospect, pitching on the road against the world champs, who have put a hurting on the Cards the past two nights. I'll take us in that match up. I highly doubt Reyes has anybody in our lineup shaking in their boots. <_>
June 23, 200619 yr QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jun 22, 2006 -> 09:31 PM) <_> Well, at least he was right to pick us in this matchup.

Well considering it was the first night of facing live pitching for a while.. he's still learning and tonight was the night that gets him going..
June 23, 200619 yr Yeah tonight was like a rehab assignment. THe results are meaningless as long as the player feels no pain today
