Take That, That and That

Sit down and shut up.
That's essentially what Albert Pujols said to his numerous journalist critics Saturday night in belting three home runs and driving in six during a 16-7 laugher over the Texas Rangers.
Leave it to the great ones to give a new meaning to the term clutch.
Not only did Pujols' five hits help the Cardinals take a 2-1 advantage over the Texas Rangers in the best-of-seven World Series, he showed up the members of the media who berated the Cardinals' slugger for refusing to speak to them following a Game 2 loss, which included a crucial error by the first baseman.
Great players are able to come up big in key in-game situations. And, as Pujols proved, when critics end their silence.
His three home runs in one game during the World Series have been matched by only two others, Reggie Jackson and Babe Ruth.
How's that for shutting everyone up?
