yeah, pujols coming back has highlighted how far we have fallen since 2011. There is no competitive fire, drive to win. Seeing Carp/Waino in the dugout and Pujols/Molina on the field drives that point home. This team/Mo/Dewitt/Schildt/Players are all fat and happy. They need to get back that edge on the field. Get some ****ing drive to go all out to win.

That was really special. Weird game, too. Goldschmidt became the first guy to ever hit a ball out of Busch III, that odd emergency delay, and the fans booing Wacha when he walked Albert and Gallegos when he buzzed him.

How loud was it there in person? TV s always unreliable. Was there just a spattering of boo's or did some not cheer?

The first ball hit out of Bush III (on the fly) and they dont even tell us how far? What was up with that?
And while I'm bitching....what the **** is up with the Fox Sports Midwest showing the off center angle view? Your filling the screen with background stuff. You should focus on whats happening. Pitcher throwing to the batter. You cant see the movement of the pitch any better, in fact makes it worse. Why? |

What a great scene. Class move by Yadi to give Albert his moment. |

We tried to get him to come out for a curtain call after getting pulled, too. It was an extremely welcoming environment. |

Glad Cards fans got to experience him through his glory years. The Royals have done plenty wrong the last 30 years, but I will always hold a special place of loathing for them for skipping on drafting Albert. How do you let a guy that went to Fort Osage High and Maple Woods CC, both within 15-ish miles of your ****ing stadium, slip through your fingers like that? Just.....indefensible (and likely how we ended up with Bubba ****ing Starling, but that's another story). /mini-rant I'm happy for Cards fan that they got to cheer on a legitimate home grown Hall of Famer. As a Royals fan, I'm jealous. You guys had your Mahomes way before the rest of us knew what that felt like. |

This pic is from 2005. We had 11th row seats behind home plate. Pujols hit a grand slam off the Cubs. The ball landed right here where we took the pic on the concourse by the exits. Bounced once and out of the stadium into the street. Pujols said it was the hardest ball he ever hit after the game. |

Standing ovation for a visitors teams player hitting a home run. And a curtain call?
Has that ever happened? |
