Brewers vs. Cardinals: No, Seriously, Albert Pujols Is Good; Cards Lead 4-0

I'll assume that because no one commented on the last update that I posted -- with a title of "Albert Pujols Is Good" -- everyone assumes that I'm just making stuff up. Look, you can be a cynic if you want, but you have to believe me on this: Albert Pujols is good. There are statistics that prove it. Don't make me dig them up.

He's especially good at hitting baseballs, and with one out and two on, Pujols drove a ball to dead center. Nyjer Morgan twisted around a bit in his pursuit, crashing into the wall without coming up with it. In the interests of science, I'm obligated to let you know that Morgan running into a wall is 344% less funny than Shane Victorino running into a wall. Sorry, Phillies fans, this is just an objective truth.

The double drove in two runs, putting the Cardinals up 4-0, and it made Shaun Marcum make one of those "can't believe I threw a strike to Pujols" faces, though it could have been a "can't believe I gave up a hit to Edwin Jackson" face.

Also of note: Edwin Jackson is still controlling this entire postseason.
