This is what happens when you fuck with the Pujols!
(click for larger version)
The young man with the Jackson Pollock-trousers is San Diego Padres pitcher Chris Young who was hit with a drive from Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols (pronounced Poo-holes).
Pujols lined a ball up the middle that struck Padres pitcher Chris
Young in the face, sending Young immediately to the ground and knocking
the right-hander out of the game. Young was diagnosed with a broken and
lacerated nose, which is surely an awful thing to sustain but frankly
something of a relief. The Cardinals saw teammate Juan Encarnacion take
major damage to his eye on a foul ball last year.
But Pujols wasn't finished yet:
Two batters later, with Pujols standing on second base, Troy Glaus
singled to right field. Pujols came around trying to score, and with
Josh Bard blocking the plate, Pujols slid directly into Bard's foot.
Bard suffered a sprained ankle and was removed from the game. It was a
clean play, but nonetheless unpleasant. The Padres said Bard will go on
the disabled list.
Is there no end to the damage Pujols can cause? Hee hee hee, Pujols.
