Agree 100%. Watching Albert and Yadi for those years I lived in STL was a privilege indeed. I’m counting on Molina getting into the Hall along with Pujols.
Update: 122 now. Yes, I'm going to be annoying about this. Sorry, not sorry.Yankees on pace for 121 wins
They'll regress at some point. Slumps and injuries happen. But unless they collapse, 100+ wins seem likely. Enjoy their success!Update: 122 now. Yes, I'm going to be annoying about this. Sorry, not sorry.
I'd love it if they went in the same class and were inducted together. They've been friends for the duration. It would be a fitting end to their careers.Both are 1st ballot guys. Pujols is great, but Molina being that great for so long as a catcher is just phenomenal.
What will go down as a worse contract? Trevor Story for the Red Sox, or Jacoby Ellsbury for the Yankees?

Last Yankee to hit 3 homers in a game was Kyle Higashioka. I wouldn't want him near the lineup.Ahem… 3 homers and seven RBIs in one game? Story will be just fine.
That's possible. That division always has at least three good teams beating up on each other.I think it will be a surprise if any team in the AL East manages above 100 wins, the division as a whole is so strong this year they will even each other out.

Yanks lost yesterday, what is the new number? Or are you only going to update when they win?
Fixed it for ya.Everyone outside of NYC (and half the people there) hate the Yankees, and their fans.
Yes, update every time they win. So 75% of the games.Yanks lost yesterday, what is the new number? Or are you only going to update when they win?

Not with that attitudeThey aren't going to keep that pace.
As great as the Yankees are playing, they still have a lot of room to improve. Which is scary to think about. If they can trade for someone like Wilson Contreras for catcher, that fills a big hole in their lineup. And replace Gallo too. Every once in a while, he shows promise, but then he strikes out 4 times like he did last night.
St. Louiis over Pit, 18-4. LOL.
That would have been a fun game to watch for this Cards fan. Sadly, I was house hunting, which isn't nearly as much fun.Pujols went deep twice, and then not to be out done by Pujols pitching debut last week, Molina came in and pitched the 9th.

Pujols homers twice, Yadi pitches in Cards' victory
Albert Pujols hit two home runs, then caught the warm-up tosses when star catcher Yadier Molina made his first pitching appearance to close out the St. Louis Cardinals' 18-4 romp over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday.www.espn.com
