Game was a blowout, third one was not a big deal as the towel was already thrown in, not to mention against the Rangers, comparing this to what the Mr. October did is a complete joke, needs a dozen asterisks......

Default "Sometimes I underestimate the magnitude of me."

Albert Puljos is a throwback to an era of players who comported themselves with class and dignity. I believe that he is quite likely the greatest hitting first baseman to ever play the game. We are blessed that he is playing in our lifetime. Reggie was not half the hitter that Puljos is, but lordy he was entertaining. I miss his brash style. He was quite possibly the antithesis of Albert. I would love to hate a player today as much as I did Reggie in my youth. He was an interesting and polarizing personality. He didn't play for the spot light he brought his own to the party with him. Reggie always talked the talk and walked the walk. Every time he stepped into the box was an event. Even though I despised him when he was playing I greatly miss him and the emotion he provoked in me. In comparison today's players are bland. That being said Reggie's night was electrifying and Albert's workmanlike and dignified as always

You mean intentionally and illegally throwing your hip into a throw, between first and second? You're quite right--no comparison.

The man hit 3 home runs in a World Series game. The fourth time it's happened in 620 +/- games. I don't care if it's against the local little league team, since they're in the World Series they must be pretty good.

When Ruth did it in 1928 it was with his team leading 3 games to none and ahead by 4 runs in the 8th, are you going to claim that his was a joke, too?

It's going to be tough to add to his WS lore when Washington keeps walking him. You really can't blame Washington, he wants to win this WS and Pujols is between him and a ring. Texas still needs to win one more (in St. Louis) so this isn't close to being over...

Texas will win if La Russa and the cardinals keep running themselves out of ball games especially with their best player at the plate.

LaRussa must not be over managing anymore, now he is allowing his players to call "hit & run " plays without his knowledge. Albert just needs to play ball and not think he can also manage. He doesn't appear to be enjoying the game like Miguel Cabrera does. Loosen up Big Al, have fun.

It's totally up to Holliday and Berkman (who SHOULD be batting cleanup). Holliday has really been a bust - especially since the finger injury. No power at all = No fear.

I imagine if Albert looked out and saw Burt Hooton, Elias Sosa and that Charlie Hough he would have feigned illness.

Sorry I'm not impressed, game was garbage, more meatballs thrown than are in Little Italy. Congrats to the Rangers last night. I guess Barry Bonds is the Home Run King.
