Before Albert Pujols homered in the first inning of the Cardinals 5-4 win against the Brewers, he had gone 93 at bats without a home run at home. His longest home drought since 2001 to 2002 when he went 73 at bats. (Any surprise that it came off of Chris Narveson, the least imposing starting pitcher a team could pick?)

Anyways, it’s good to have you back, Albert.

Real Caption: “Coach, what the hell are you doing?”

Cardinals opening day! What a hell of a win, 11-6, against the Reds. ESPN might’ve lied and not shown the game, but thank Jeebus for play-by-plays online. Two homers for Albert Pujols, one for Colby Rasmus, and a career first grand slam for Yadier Molina! Man, I freakin’ love baseball season and my boys and, damnit, I can just FEEL it… we’re gonna have a red October this year.

Ditto.

Someone is obviously trying to hit a homer in the new ballpark.
