Without the Reds, baseball is a bunch of muscled rich guys plodding around a dusty rhomboid.
Without the Reds, baseball is the church without God.
Without the Reds, there's no us against them.
Without the Reds, there's just Goliath and no David.

I have changed my mind. These guys are athletes whether they are taking steriods or not. Just make steroids legal. Thanks for setting me straight. Go Bonds!
It is Pujols' competitiveness that gets my attention. The man wants to win and it seems to me he does everything in his power to help his team win with an incredible work ethic and attention to detail.
He is so comfortable in his capabilities that he intimidates other players/teams/coaches and gives his own team a motivational edge. Plus, he seems like a genuine nice guy off the field.
I don't care if Pujols 'showboats' because it seems to me that he does it to make his team better, not to pump up his star quotient.
Pujols may end up being the single greatest baseball player I will ever see in my lifetime. As far as rooting for him, sure I would root for a player like that. Not against the Reds, or at expense of the Reds' success, but otherwise yes. More than that, though, I will continue to marvel at him and respect him.
Thank goodness for baseball.

My son met Pujols, another Cardinal and Wily Mo at Kenwood Towne Centre one time just a couple of years ago. He declined an autograph by shook my son's hand and was all around cool about him approaching him. My son said his hands were gigantic. What I liked the best about it was that my son was probably about 15 then and he was so excited about he immediately called his uncle and grandpa in Missouri to tell him. I liked that excitement and not being jaded.Originally Posted by OnBaseMachine
