Pujols 2nd-fastest to 1,000 hits as Cards win

[BAMAPHIN 22]

In their first game without Derrek Lee, the Chicago Cubs were hurting for pitching and offense.

Albert Pujols hit a two-run homer in the first inning for his 1,000th career hit and finished with four RBIs in the St. Louis Cardinals’ 9-3 victory on Friday night. The game was the first for the Cubs since losing Lee, the NL batting champion, for at least two months with two broken bones above his right wrist.

“I know they’re going through a tough time,†Pujols said. “It’s terrible to see a great player like that going down, but that’s going to happen in your career.â€Â

someone told me that Albert Pujols may have lied on his birth certificate to get over from the Dominican Republic and said that he was indeed 2 or 3 years younger than he actually is. He does look older....but i dont know. I saw a story on this on real sports, but i dont know if there is any truth to Pujols being a fraud on his age.

The only thing that's fraud about Pujols is that he's not on my team.

He's the best hitter in baseball hands down and if he stays healthy and continues to hit like he is, he's going to break some major records.
