Player Notes
August 30, 2008
Albert Pujols went 4-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Astros. He hit two singles, a double, and a two-run homer.

Our View:He raised his average six points to .362 following tonight's performance.
August 27, 2008
Pujols was 2-for-4 Wednesday and is now batting .357 on the season, a point ahead of Atlanta’s Chipper Jones in the NL batting race.

Our View:There still is a month left in the season, look for this battle to continue and go down to the wire.
August 26, 2008
Major League Baseball will begin implementing instant replay on Thursday, according to the AP. For now, video will be used only on "boundary calls," such as determining whether balls went over the fence, whether potential home runs were fair or foul and whether there was fan interference on potential home runs. If the crew chief at a game decides replay needs to be checked, umpires will leave the field, technicians at MLBAM will show umpires the video and the crew chief will make the call, overturning the original decision only if there is "clear and convincing evidence." In addition, leaving the dugout to argue a call following a replay will result in an automatic ejection.

Our View:We'll see how this goes. There is bound to be some controversy, but for now this seems like the right thing to do.
August 25, 2008
Albert Pujols has been named the NL Player of the Week, according to the AP. Pujols hit .579 (11-for-19) last week, while crushing two home runs with 10 RBI.

Our View:The award-winning week moved him into a tie with Chipper Jones for the league lead with a .359 batting average. It marks the seventh weekly award of his career.
August 24, 2008
Albert Pujols went 2-for-2 with three walks on the day in the Cardinals 6-3 win over the Braves. He hit his 28th home run of the year in the first inning.
