Pujols Day at BaseballChannel.tv

« Story of the Year? | Main | All-Star Shenanigans »

I usually ignore any link about video on mlb.com and it's sub-sites, because most of it requires a subscription or a pay-per-view fee. This one however, is actually free. Apparently they've got 2 24hr video loops, one called BaseballChannel.tv (Beyond Games), and the other called Cooperstown.tv (Classic Games). The schedule only goes a couple days out, but check out Thursday's lineup.

Starting at 10AM they're airing a Cards/Pirates game from June 1, 2004, where Pujols went 5-for-5. At 1:15, it's the aptly named (by RedbirdNation) "Pujols Game", in which Albert was also 5-for-5, this time with 3HR, 4R, and 5RBI, as the Cards came back from a 7-1 defecit in the 2nd inning to win the game by a final score of 11-8. Then, at 5:15, we're taken to Cincy in mid-August of last year, where Pujols is tied with Sean Casey for the league lead in homeruns, but not for long. His 37th longball of the season leads the Cards to their 12th victory in 14 tries vs. the Reds. Finally, at 8:45, we get to see a late September game in which Pujols notches his 500th career RBI, helping Marquis become the 4th Cardinal pitcher to get to 15 victories on the season, the first time that's happened since 1944.

Yeah so this is totally off the above subject but with all this jocketty talk going on, I was going to post this earlier, but didn't get around to it, so here goes...

Can we review how money that Will Clark move was? He brought leadership, an attitude, and some craziness to the team at a time when they most needed it. He lit a fire under everyone and the Birds went on a tear. Plus, he has that whole "my first major league at bat, I hit a home run off Nolan Ryan" karma thing going for him. I say we bring him back for the '05 season. Make him the bench coach or something. Hell, if Don Zimmer can do it, it can't be that hard.

I think Will has made some visits to spring training. In fact, I'm pretty sure he tutored Pujols last year on how to play 1st base. Yep, thank you google: http://www.cardsclubhouse.com/photos/index.php?cat=people&topic=Will%20Clark&id=1067
