He's hit another 2 HRs tonight against Houston. Happy to see him bounce back at least a little bit from that injury-shortened season. Also glad he's in the other league where we don't have to face or root against him on a regular basis.

First homer last night was vintage Pujols. He might have a Frank Thomas-like bounce back in his mid-30s.

What's interesting about Albert is that his walk rate completely eroded, but his k rate has remained as excellent as ever. So it's not really a question of losing his sense of the strike zone. And it can't just be that pitchers stopped pitching around him; he's leading the AL in home runs, but still only OBPing .336.

Anyway, Albert is the best player I've ever seen in my lifetime so far. I'm glad the Cardinals didn't give him that contract, but I also like to see him playing well.

So has he just given up trying to spray the field like he used to and just going for the gusto?
