Padres lose to Cardinals 5-2, Albert Pujols gets super mad

I think someone forgot to tell the Padres hitters that John Smoltz is real old. Taking nothing away from the guy, but he's old. Then again, it's the Padres and they're young and prone to being super impressed by old people.

I'm going to guess that if we had Kyle Blanks aka 8-Train out there today, we would've won the game, but that might be a bad guess.

There was a bit of a kerfuffle today where Albert Pujols, apparently mad that he hadn't physically assaulted any of our players lately, decided to try to fight Will Venable. Bud Black responded by breaking Kyle Blanks' foot. That's a humorous reference to when Bud Black took Milton Bradley out when Bradley got all fired up that one time. Chortle.

Did anything else happen? Probably not.

[UPDATE] Here's the video of Pujols getting all mad at Will Venable for having the audacity to kinda slide his shoulder to the side while running.

I like that

only 2 of 48 people voted that they ate breakfast at Petco. And we all know who the 2 were…..Dex and Jbox who ate caviar and drank wine from Garfinkels office!!!

I like the name 'Baby Elephant' for Blanks

8-Train is kinda generic

"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.

Pujols was confused

Will was actually running out a ground ball, and Pujols couldn’t wrap his mind around that, so he assumed Will was taking a shot at him.

What are you 5?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone on this blog is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on our souls.

Let's say Will did throw an elbow

How is that any worse than when Pujols ran down our catcher last year and put him on the DL?

We know we suck...

if you ever read the blog, then you would know that we know and we are not happy about it. But since we didn’t have the 600 mil to pony up and buy the team and run it how we’d like, we write a bunch of nonsense on here and try to have some fun…that is until Einstein reminds us that we are not very good. BTW cardinalsfool, how are the lambs gonna do this year?

I've never heard a Cardinal fan gloat, nor have I heard one trash talk

In fact two of the best conversations I’ve ever had a ball game were with traveling Cardinal fans I sat next to in Petco. What made the conversations fantastic was the level of baseball knowledge these Cardinal fans had.

This knowledge I speak of has eluded cardinalsrule.

From spelling and grammar to the assertion that Adrian Gonzalez was not worth keeping—-in no way has knowledge been passed down to this St. Louis Fan.

Albert Pujols is too sensitive. I knew it when I saw him walking through the Gaslamp in 2006 carrying a Louis Vitton man purse and I know it even more so now.

unnecessary.

If you’re going to resort to taunting and looking like a classless fool, at least save it for a team we don’t like…. like the Cubs or Mets!

He's protective of his elbow

because it’s set to blow at any moment…..that said…he’s a bit of a putz for getting worked up about a guy AVOIDING his elbow when he put himself in the baseline.

I found a Pad Squader that can throw the souvenirs like a champ

Don’t know her name, but she’s blonde and she’s #12. She threw one that went up to the Toyota Terrace. She also got one within like 5 rows of the end of field level. She even used one of the sling shots and got one real far up in the upper deck. She’s a pro. We gotta know more about her.

Pujols is an insanely good player.

But he is one of the last people in America that I’d like to sit and have a beer with. He’s got a powerful no fun vibe coming off of him. Plus, Jesus wouldn’t want him sitting around drinking beers with me.

Yeah thanks but I know

it was a part of the story though. Winters baited Milton, Milton got hurt, we went to game 163 and lost.

Keep up your enthusiastic style of play, William

There’s something I don’t like about this Pujols guy. Maybe it’s the fact that he said, “I’m just not into that science stuff,” as he flies around an aerodynamically engineered planes, eats chemically engineered food, and plays baseball and brilliantly physically engineered stadiums all the while having no cognitive dissonance.

by dairyking887 on Aug 24, 2009 11:17 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

"I don’t believe in all that science stuff," Pujols said. "I believe in Jesus Christ, who gave me the strength and power and talent to honor him. You can always try to figure it out and be scientific and look for success. Not me. It’s dedication, hard work, practice and God."

Yeah, why “believe” in things that can be measured and replicated when you can believe in a nebulous force that favors your abilities over all others.

by theodore donald kerabatsos on Aug 24, 2009 3:53 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I have a problem with anyone on either side

that thinks faith and science are mutually exclusive of one another.

…but if I HAD TO pick one, I’d take science every time.

My only problem with the play ...

Venable didn’t do enough to Pujols.

Grant was right. Players can run over fielders at second base or at home plate, and it’s a gritty, gutty play. But at first base, don’t offend the sensibilities of Albert Pujols.
