Pujols looking like a baby at the plate...both with his attitude and his results.

WTH Albert?

His attitude this entire offseason has been very suspect...

Albert was wrong, stupid, and I'm not happy with him right now, but McClelland needs to STFU. He'd better not make this an issue.

Or, postseason, rather.

If he does, it's only because Pujols opened the door in the first place.

Freaking stupid thing to do on a check swing strike...where he obviously went around anway.

Yeah, Albert did not set the tone for that inning. It's a lot of pressure to be put on a 26 year old, but he needs to understand that he's stuck with his role as a leader. He either fills it like a man, or he steps aside. I remember being 26, I'm not so sure if I'd want Albert's position.

At least Rolen his the ball hard again...

I got downstairs just in time to see that. AP was WAY wrong there. This is a possible WS clincher... he needs to check his attitude at the door.

It was freaking stupid. I'm not denying that in the slightest, but umpires should not be active participants in any game, let alone the possible World Series clincher.

EDIT: The attitude stinks, I don't want it to come across at all like I'm excusing it. Umpires should be reactive, not active.
