Re: pujols the asshole

kurkijan (spelling) was on a NY local radio show and tlaking how pujols is rapidly becoming an outside man within baseball. you know the usual, primadonna, xtra lockers, not even remotely friendly with the team, think bonds and arod and you are there.

bingo.

and as for what he said about Glavine. the guy just came off the field from the first game of the NLCS, where frankly, stl did crush the ball, they just all went right at players. lol. anyway, what do you expect, is pujols supposed to go buy glavine dinner after the game and blow smoke up his ass? i didn't find his comments to be harsh. they were harsh for pujols, because he's always been a quiet player. i really don't get a lot of journalists these days, always looking for controversy. if that would have been jack clark in the 80s, he would have said, "Fuck Glavine."

Re: pujols the asshole

  1. they are nationally televised, based in NY
  2. the three writers, kurk, heyman, and some beat writer from chi town, are not NY media.

Re: pujols the asshole

for any so called writer or analyst to be comparing pujols to bonds in the attitude department pretty much loses all credibility with me.

=80&site=cnn_si_dyn_ctxt&origin=si');}}[B]Also in this column:[/B] [I]• El Duque's return a longshot[/I] [I]• Manager hiring updates[/I] [I]• A-Rod vs. Guillen[/I] [I]• More news and notes[/I] ST. LOUIS -- To borrow a phrase from [B]Albert Pujols[/B] that would succinctly summarize his performance through four games of the NLCS: "He wasn't all that good." Pujols used those very words regarding [B]Tom Glavine[/B] after Glavine shut down the Cardinals in Game 1 on Thursday. Now Pujols is 4 for 14 and has had very little impact in a series where the Mets are virtually holding tryouts for the starting rotation. Glavine, who starts tonight in Game 5, weather permitting (and it looks bleak here), has allowed zero runs so far. Symmetrically, through four games Pujols has exactly zero home runs and zero RBIs. So maybe Mr. Zero spoke a little too soon. Meanwhile, Pujols is hearing it from Glavine's teammates. On Sunday it was [B]Billy Wagner[/B]'s turn. As Wagner put it to Pujols, "It's not a good idea to take on a Hall of Famer." Added Wagner: "If [Glavine] wasn't all that good, then how do you look?" Pujols didn't run out a grounder in his fourth hitless at-bat Sunday night in the Cardinals' 12-5 defeat. Yet in the eyes of most everyone here, he can do no wrong. (Hold the e-mails; that isn't a complaint. The fans here are the most positive in the country and are almost unnervingly appreciative of a nice play by a visiting player, so good for them.) According to one Met, that feeling may even expand to include the umpires. "You can't throw a strike to Albert Pujols," meaning the umpires won't call one, that Met remarked. In any case, Wagner defended Pujols, saying he didn't believe Pujols meant his putdown the way it came out. "He's a good guy, very genuine," Wagner insisted. He also excused Pujols for feeling extra pressure. "He's got the weight of the [organization] firmly on his shoulders. He goes 0 for 4, there's a good chance they're not going to win." Which is exactly what happened Sunday night as the Mets evened the series 2-2 with a 12-5 victory. Wagner felt that the advice should mean something coming from him since he's misspoken a few times. "Take it from me," Wagner said, "I've stuck my foot in my mouth so many times I've lost count." Meanwhile, Glavine was perplexed by Pujols' remarks. Said Glavine: "I wasn't quite sure where he was coming from. I was pretty happy with the way I pitched." [B]Beltran vs. Joltin Joe[/B]

If the Cardinals don't make it, you can be pretty sure [B]Carlos Beltran[/B] will have something to do with it. The mild-mannered Beltran is now booed in two polite towns -- Houston and St. Louis -- but will never again be booed in New York (at least not for a while) after hearing it from the home folks earlier this season. Beltran is establishing himself as one of the great postseason performers, and he's managed to do it mostly under the radar. He has seven career home runs against the Cardinals in this, his second October series against them, same as [B]Babe Ruth[/B] (Ruth's came in the 1926 and '28 Series, as Fox pointed out during its Game 4 broadcast). Beltran actually has outdone [B]Joe DiMaggio[/B] in terms of October performance. Beltran has scored an incredible 29 runs in 19 postseason games. DiMaggio scored 27 runs in 51 postseason games (all World Series games in his case). [/quote]

damn, and thats only the first page.
