by an absolute legend who many people are quick to forget when they worship the hitting prowess of Miguel Cabrera and describe him as the best hitter since X (with X predating Pujols).
It actually is a nice ach

In this era as people are quick to forget that the whole pitching philosophy has changed with middle relievers, 7/8th inning specialists, closers- all with fresh arms facing you.

oh, quess what- they are juicing also.

If the toughest thing sports to do is hit a major league pitcher with the success rate of .300- HOF category, is it really easier today then in years past when starters were lofting fucking softballs in the later innings?

I say no. The hitters aren't the only one's juicing in MLB.

is this the year AP returns to form?

First year in Anaheim, new contract and new league affected AP.....good year but by no means typical to him. And the Angels played very average as a team.

Last year, foot injury finally ended his season. Angels sucked.

Now, healthy and familiar with the AL, does AP return to form?

Off to a great start with 8 HRs and nearly 20 RBI already.
Pujols does not look like the same rock

he was when playing in St Louis, he seems to be off the juice. He's going to continue to break down physically, IMO. In his prime, he was every bit the hitter Miguel is. Neither come close to touching Bonds, IMO.
