Albert Pujols

Hey all,

If you have been following baseball, or even watching Sport Center you know that Albert Pujols has been out on the 15 day DL list due to a wrist injury. The Dr. said that he would be out at least 4-6 weeks, but he is making an amazing comeback without any rehab what so ever. I guess that is why they call him "The Machine" because he does stuff that most players just wouldn't be able to do. Most players would have stayed out for the full 6 weeks to make sure that they were good and healed up, but not Pujols. He is able to come back to the Cardinals without rehab and in half the time. This will be a great help to the St. Louis Cardinals, because they have been struggling without Pujols in the line up. It will be good for them to try and stay in first place in the NL Central over the Milwaukee Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Seeing how the Cardinals are ahead of the Brewers by 1 game and only 1.5 games ahead of the Pirates, they are going to need to stay strong to stay ahead. With the Pirates playing as strong as they are the NL Central will be shaking up and I think people will be surprised how that division will turn out at the end of the regular season. The Pirates schedule coming up shouldn't be a tough one and they should be able to make a strong run to be #1 in that division after the All Star break. The St. Louis Cardinals sure should be glad that they are getting one of their star players back and sooner than he should be. Some of the players on his team have said that he is looking stronger than before the injury, which should scare most of the teams in the Majors. Pujols was scary good before he got hurt, I'm scared and excited to see how he will do now that it is "stronger than before". Be looking to see how he does and I will be updating after his return.
