Albert Pujols, are you still injured? Do your skills continue to erode? Are you aging even more rapidly than we suspected? No matter. Saddle up and head to Boston.
Maybe Major Baseball League (MBL) commissioner Allen Huber "Bud"Selig needs to give the St. Louis Cardinals a temporary stay of execution and let the Cardinals use Pujols, their one time great and the best first baseman in National League/Conference history, to play the final two games in Boston against the evil empire of the Boston Red Sox. In exchange the Cardinals would deactivate rookie pitching sensation Michael Wacha, whom they chose in the annual free agent draft with the number 19 first round pick they received as compensation when Pujols signed that ridiculous ten year contract with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, CA.
Boston has gone from not getting hits in the first several innings of this season's tournament games to getting game winning blasts not only from David Ortiz (Fat Pappi) but also from former switch hitter Shane Victorino and ... eeck ... Jonny Gomes. OPS for Cardinal first baseman Matt (Fat) Adams is barely above his weight.
Obviously the universe as we know it is spinning out of control and a cosmic adjustment must be made immediately. Unfortunately, the fate of our galaxy rests with Bud Selig who still does not know that he presides over the merger of two leagues. The only thing between us and the abyss of a third Boston Red Sox championship in ten years is Albert Pujols. Albert needs to shrug off the effects of Kryptonite, regain his super human powers for a couple of days and save the baseball world.
Once done, the Yankees can return and a calm will settle over the land.
