    It has nothing to do with what team he is on. Pujols is a better player any way you look at it.

    What I want to know is if Albert's daddy can whip Lance's daddy?

    .. and I said that Matty. But the difference isnt that great.

    Hype baby, hype. LOOK AT THE STATS.

    Berkman is a great, great player.

    But please don't embarass him by trying to compare him to Pujols.

    There is no major league hitter in Pujols class.

    That's just the way it is.

    You kill me, 35 years of watching the Astors has cemented the fact that I'd rather be the 1982 Reds than any Astro team.

    Dude, have you once heard me mention the Reds as a viable contender in this or any other thread?

    Wayne Krivsky inherited an unqualified mess two months ago and it's going to take time and hard work to turn it around.

    So, if you think some silly "my team is better than your team, nyah, nyah, nyah" argument is going to have any effect on me, guess again.

    Fact remains that the Astros offense will cool off and the starting pitching is then and the bullpen looks lousy and there isn't much help from the system that the club could plug in to fill those numerous holes.

    I don't think the Astros will be a lousy team, but they sure don't look like a viable contender to me either.

    Berkman is absolutely in Pujols' class. To say otherwise is just to pick on Astrobuddy. Without Bonds, they are #1 and #2 in MLB.

    Even with Bonds and his creme, they probably still are 1 and 2.

    Berkman over A-Rod? I don't think so.

    I like Berkman a lot, but there's a dozen-plus players I'd rather have and the Cardinals happen to have two of them.

    I agree with this, but I don't think that Pujols is more famous because he is a product of a "hype machine". I think it is because he plays for a better team that has had greater success throughout the entirety of his (still relatively short) career.

    Ok, maybe A-Rod.

    But a dozen-plus? Come on. Rolen? Pshht. If you like averaging 300 ABs a season.
