The great Joe Posnanski with a column on runners taking extra bases ahead of Pujols

JoePos is one of the best. His breakdown of the situation from monday's game should be required reading for anyone broadcasting or writing about Cardinals games.

Love the Pos

He uses pretty easy-to-understand arguments to demonstrate what enlightened fans already know but can’t transmit as well.

Albert Pujols does not have "down" years. He has "~6 WAR" years.

FIRST BASE OPEN

It’s silly, but it’s fun to yell it.

Lick that shoulder—you're in the doghouse now.

Like seemingly everything Posnanski writes,

this is a wonderful piece that is both thoughtful and enlightening. I would also like to point out to any Cards fans here that he is looking for Stan Musial stories for a piece he is writing. I can’t wait for that story to be published!
