lol pujols, gtf over yourself Albert Pujols insulted someone asked him if he can put up Mike Trout numbersby Craig Calcaterra | NBC Hardball Talk -- 2 hours agoBob Nightengale spoke with Albert Pujols and Pujols mentioned a question someone asked him early in spring training. The question: “are you motivated to put up the same numbers as Mike Trout?” Pujols, remembering it and obviously still mad, went off:"Can you imagine someone saying that to me?" Pujols tells USA TODAY Sports in recalling the question from a reporter. "I felt like saying, 'Come on, are you serious? Are you really asking me that? Check out my numbers. I know what Mike Trout has done in his first two years is pretty special, but will you look at my numbers. I've been doing this for almost 14 years.' "The only guy in baseball who can match the numbers I've put up is Barry Bonds, and someone is actually asking if I can put up numbers like Mike Trout? "Are you freaking kidding me?"Well, no. It’s not about what you’ve done, dude. It’s about what you can do. And I don’t think it’s crazy to think that Trout will have better numbers than Pujols going forward for the rest of Pujols’ career. Maybe that’s not the best way to couch that kind of question to a veteran — and maybe Pujols bristling is a good sign with respect to his motivation to do better than he has the past couple of years — but he’s no more the straw that stirs the drink in Anaheim than Barry Bonds still is in San Francisco. OK, maybe a little more. He’s still playing after all. But that’s Mike Trout’s team now. __
Sounds like mood swings to me. This is common when people have extreme hormonal changes, which (coincidentally) often occurs after signing a big contract and increased drug testing in MLB.
Way to try and put yourself on a pedestal over, arguably, the best player in baseball, Pujols...hehehe....hehehe.....I said Poo holes.
He is Latin...... Look up douchebag in the dictionary and there is a picture of pooholes and this description: is a Dominican-American professional baseball first baseman for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of Major League Baseball. Wikipedia
In theory Pujols could still put up .280+ numbers but no way I'd wager $1.35 on him beating Trouts numbers ever again.
