this is the official "albert pujols is a beast and....

[HedCold]

carrying my fantasy teams offense" thread

another homer today, 2 more rbis

[HollywoodJewMoses]

he is not a human being, so beast is definitely fitting.

[GonzoStyle]

It's so early but it's hard not to start thinking of him as quite possible the greatest or among the top 3 ever.

[HedCold]

he already has 1000 hits, after like 5 years and 20 games. crazy

[GonzoStyle]

There's nothing or no one to even compare him to.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

from baseball reference:

1 Joe DiMaggio (905) *
2 Frank Robinson (894) *
3 Jimmie Foxx (891) *
4 Hank Aaron (883) *

those are his comparisons from baseball reference

thats...impressive

[GonzoStyle]

no one had a start like him tho, out of those players or anyone else. Dimaggio was close but he surpassed him so far as well.

[HollywoodJewMoses]

well those are comparisons at age 25

[Keyser Soze]

haha oh watch keyser try to prove himself right in this one

[Keyser Soze]

its close but since you ran the numbers, pujols does have a slight edge. dimaggio was an RBI machine.

[GonzoStyle]

I knew he'd bring up the RBI's since it was one of the few pro-dimaggio categories.

[HedCold]

pujols only had a hit and no rbis today. weak sauce.

[GonzoStyle]

you mean juice

[HedCold]

pooooooooooooooooooo-holes

[GonzoStyle]

he's on pace for like 98 home runs, 276 rbis, he's fuckin slippin.

[HedCold]

yea he's been in a little slump

[GonzoStyle]

yeah he only has 18 homers and 43rbi's in 34 games, what a slouch.

He's actually on pace for 86 homers and 205 rbis.

[HedCold]

yea he broke out of it a little the last few days
