This is a terrible day for baseball. In this era of steroid testing and rumors about who's on the juice or isn't, it has been refreshing to see this young slugger put on an offensive explosion to lead the majors with 25 HR so far. Granted, I have had him as my starting 1B on my fantasy team, so I do have a personal stake in this...but I digress...
Baseball needs this young superstar power hitter - especially on this team, the Cardinals, with its storied history. Baseball doesn't need any more tantrums from George Steinbrenner, it doesn't need any more whining from New England, and it doesn't need anymore BALCO talk from San Francisco. What baseball needs is the ongoing offensive juggernaut known as Albert Pujols to keep driving in runs, to keep his batting average over .300, to continue to hit HR, to continue his assault on an .800 slugging percentage (currently at .751).
Alas, he is on the 15 day DL with an injury that could keep him sidelined for up to 6 weeks. Today is a dark day for baseball indeed.

Had he been taking steroids, he probably wouldn't have gotten injured so bad. ;)
Must be a new and improved curse that is placed upon all of the honest, drug free players chasing the home run record.
