Geez.
I'm driving home from work and listen to a news station discuss the ramifications of seeing Clemens, Bonds and Pujols named in the report. I hope they just got confused, rather than using bad info.
This morning, CNN's reliable sources talked about how Pujols (pronounced Pewhols) was named, then not named. If media critics that spend hours on how to pronounce Nicaragua with the native 'flair' can't pronounce Albert's last name...I just don't know.
The media, steroids, and Albert Pewhols.

Yeah, if they're going to make up stuff about him the least they could do is pronounce his name correctly.

I have a book called "The Book on the Book" (not "The Book" - confused yet?) that continuously refers to him as Luis Pujols. And he didn't mean the Luis Pujols, he meant Albert.Radbird wrote:Yeah, if they're going to make up stuff about him the least they could do is pronounce his name correctly.

Yeah, it isn't like I'm saying he is the best ever, but for crying out loud, pronounce his name right.

You're not saying he's not, though, are you???Leroy wrote:Yeah, it isn't like I'm saying he is the best ever, but for crying out loud, pronounce his name right.
