I remember attending a game at the ole RFK Stadium here in DC, Twins (of the Oliva, Carew, and Killebrew days) vs the Senators (of the Frank Howard days).

Good memories of my youth.

I saw him in 1968 at Fenway Park. I know that Gary Bell pitched for Boston, and that the Red Sox won 4-2. Loved the Frank Howard Nestle's Quik commercial.

Nobody wants to say anything about Pujols last night???? 3 HR, 5 hits, 6 RBI all tie the single-game World Series records and his 14 total bases set a new record.

Think that will get him the contract that he's been waiting for?

Give me a few minutes and I'll write a song entitled, "Reggie, Albert, and the Babe".

Is there a spot for him in the Red Sox lineup? Can he drink beer in a Gatorade cup, and eat Popeye chicken?

Fixed it for you!

And yes Chuck, I would agree, Albert had a career game. Remarkable!

GREAT pitching performance by Holland last night for the Rangers. Cards went 0-4 with RISP, which is amazing for 2 reasons. 1) They only came to the plate 4 times with anybody on 2nd or 3rd; and obviously 2) they couldn't muster even one hit in those situations.

And, oh by the way, SportsCenter is saying that Joe Torre is going to look into the drinking in the Red Sox clubhouse. Why, exactly? Everybody has acknowledged it, and from what I've heard from other players, it seems to happen in most clubhouses. Even if it happened in the dugout, which everyone seems to deny, I'm not sure I see why MLB cares.
