LOL  Reb, seriously, lighten up; you're going to have a stroke.   Poking fun at Cardinals is a pastime for a number of us.

Thanks for reminding us of REAL heroes.   In Chicago, we compartmentalize the accomplishments of Sammy Sosa because we see evidence of his PED usage.  San Francisco still praises Bonds.  Isn't it interesting that the national media is quick to laud Judge's accomplishments and refer to him catching Ruth and in range of beating Maris' "record" of 61 home runs?  No mention of McGwire, Sosa, and Bonds.  But what does St. Louis do?  They name a bleacher section after Big Mac Land.  They bring him back briefly as a coach.  The links between LaRussa, Canseco, McGwire, and PED's has long been hinted at.  When a former teammate mentioned in a radio podcast that Albert might be getting help, he was quickly censored. 

It's not that big a deal and a lot of us joke about such possibilities.  As far as I really know, Albert's clean.  But I might be making that up.

Well, Curt, I think your "joke" and fellow jokesters yucking it up maybe are not taking in the real fun and awe of Pujols accomplishment. A little sad if that's the case. Easy to throw around a PED "joke" and then say you don't really mean it but how about joining in with most everybody else around baseball who are amazed and thrilled about what he just did?  This has nothing to do with a Cubs-Cards rivalry.  It's a baseball story.  So, for those who love the game, it's a fun event. Join the fun!
