Pujols With the Bases Loaded: Superman

At a time whebn the Obama Administration, and the left in gerneral, want to make everyone he SAME, and everyting in your life (like health care) a centrally planned SAME, mandated thing chosen for you by the Federal Government, Albert Pujos is simply better than anyone else. This is expecailly true with the bases loaded, where Pujos is hitting something like .800 or .700--some ungodly number. In fact, he was batting .500 in a statistic that does not even exist: home runs as a percentage of total at bats (like general batting average). Pujos has hit 5 home runs with the bases loaded this year, and has somthing like 30 RBIs WITH THE BASES LOGADED alone. There are many players wo do not have 30 RBIs for the SEASON--counting all at bats.


Although this is obviously not meant as a political entry, but as a triubute to one of the greatest perfromances by a baseball player in the history of baseball, I am serious aboutt he lesson Pujols holds as to the sterile thought off the Communistic left (AFTER both Communism AND "liberalism" were DISCREDITED).


Why not give Pujols only two strikes to make it "fair"? What is different about "affrimative action" for black firefighters, and "affirmative action" (strokes for PGA card--reverse discrimination) for black golfers. Hint: There is NO difference, except that one is more obviously stupid than the other to those who do not think. In reality, they are both equally stupid. That is what I like about sports. Excellenc e is rewarded, and "ppolitical correctness" is largely limited to ESPN, and the rest of despicable sports "journalism". And, for the most part, sorts are now color blind. There may be more black players in the NBA and more white PGA golfers, but white players in the NBA can succeed on MERIT, and black golfers can succeed on MERIT (or have you not heard of Tiger Woods?).


Off the soap box and back to baseball (less depressing, even thogh your favorite team can depress you--especailly if it happens to be the Chicago Cubs). Yes, Albert Pujols came up tonight again, in Pitssburg, with the bases loaded. The Pirates did pretty well, in comparison. They "held" Pujols to a bases clearing double. Hey. They SAVED one run. They could have save TWO (potentially) by walking Pujols (not really an optioin in the situation tonight, although I think it is an option in some situtations where Pujols comes up with the bases loaded.


In its own way, the preformance of Pujols with the bases loaded, this season, is one of the outstanding accomplishments in sports history. It is almost inconceivable that any baseball player could do THIS well with the bases loaded (albeit hitters do have an advantage in that situatioin, since there is no lplace to put them). You may never seee anything like this again--especially if Pujols wre to keep doing it the rest of the season (surely almost impossible, but I would have said that what he has done already this season is almost impossible).
