How the fck did pujols come back so fast???

samgurt · 07-05-11, 07:39 PM

meh, probably wasn't that bad of a break. I broke my wrist/forearm in similar fashion while snowboarding and it only took a few weeks to heal. He still won't habe 100% strength back for a while though

Penis pump. Worked for me

1st off it was a slight fracture, not a break. 2nd mlb doesnt test for hgh i believe and if he was already on that of coarse he is gonna heal significantly faster. He not the only one, even when Carp was struggling he had more velocity on his fastball than ive seen the last few years, pretty sure that why it took him a while to find his offspeed pitches this year because he was readjusting to his new body/stregth. Larussa doesnt win cause he is the genius he acts like

No reason to hate with your NY logo, we all know your team full of juicers so get off your high horse.

Bonds hooked him up with Conte

Hes a stud

I love how everyone thinks that Pujols is always on some sort of PED or HGH just because he is the best player in baseball and because he healed from his injury faster than expected, even though the injury was not as serious as once thought

Inspirited · 07-05-11, 08:03 PM

these days i have trouble believing any player who puts up pujols-like numbers is legitimate. so many of the stars of the past turned out to be fakes. just can't help to be suspicious. now look at jose bautista. where did he come from?

are you sure they dont test for HGH?

underthe total · 07-05-11, 08:13 PM

you are right hgh is not being tested because it is not part of the current collective bargaining agreement and the only test they have is a blood test and the blood test is not allowed.

Players union won't allow it

why do you think we are now having "the year of the pitcher"? HGH helps pitchers much more than everyday players.

BTW i dont necessarily think my boy Albert is on anything, personally i dont care as im all for PEDs. i just like saying it cause all the stl haters wanna believe it anyway. Certainly wouldnt shock me tho.

And they shouldnt, hopefully NFL players dont cave on this. I want my athletes to be bigger/faster/stronger/better than the ones before them!!!!!!!!

not to mention im sick of everyone wanting to violate what you would think would be your god given right to do wtf you want.

Simple answer to this question: free agent year

No lose situation at this point. If he plays well he becomes a legend (more than he is now) and if he doesn't he looks like a team player doing everything he can to win and it's not like this type of injury can get worse.

good point but honestly i believe Albert would have did this any year. Like i said from the beginning of this STL has a habit of exaggerating the injuries now days after years of saying 2 weeks and it end up being 2 months i guess they decided this route wouldnt piss their fans off as bad which is prob a good move.

CHRIS46138 · 07-05-11, 08:47 PM

I don't think hes 100%.I'm shocked the cards didn't send him on a rehab assignment before activating him off the DL.

Dude, there is no way STL would bring him back now if he wasnt ready. What would be the point? Brew Crew and Cincy havnt even overtook 1st place, hell Buccos the 2nd best team in div. Cards have started playing good ball w/o him. Unless he is rushing it cause he cant have stl looking good w/o him, that could be possible. He has a history of playing hurt with that elbow and the guy is no punk, so sure he prob not quite 100% but he is more than likely damn close and has been assured he cant do any more damage to it, if that wasnt the case why risk it? That could cost him way more than not playing for a few more weeks.

If he's still banged up it doesn't make sense to send him down. Might as well get what they can out of him....especially with the break coming...no pun intended

All I know is Cards will be real tough now if he is healthy and a threat

pavyracer · 07-05-11, 09:25 PM

Cards have no pitching. They are doomed.

jose21_us · 07-05-11, 09:25 PM

If they want to stay in 1st place they need him back asap

Arnt you the same guy that said buy mil futures when Albert got hurt?

Carp is a ace STILL. Garcia is a little delicate mentally but very talented. McClellan is prob a lot better than you think and is just starting to figure this starter thing out. Of coarse Atl,sf, and phi pitching they are not but they are serviceable and have the adv of working with what was the best offense in the NL early in the season b4 the freese,holladay,pujols injuries. Pen needs help but once everyone healthy(Craig is all that is left) they will have pieces to deal and will make a move for pen help or whatever they really need.

you telling us that a team with a lineup that looks like this is doomed..

Theriot
Jay/Rasmus
Pujols
Holladay
Berkman
Freese
Yadi
Shoemacker
