Bill (New Mexico): Word out of St. Louis suggests that the Cardinals may get Albert Pujols back as early as Thursday. First, is the guy human? Second, does he give them a chance to catch the Cubs? I'm with Will: no matter how good you think Pujols is, he's STILL underrated.
John Perrotto: No, he is not human. I've felt since his rookie season that someone dropped him out of a spaceship because hitting isn't as easy as he makes it look. In fairness, Pujols is one of the hardest workers in the game. He's always either studying video or working out or taking extra hitter before games. Yes, he does give the Cardinals a chance to stay in the race but I still think the Cubs are just too strong in the long haul.

Corkedbat (Dallas): Do you think there is an adverse affect on Ludwick when Pujols goes down? Is Ludwick legit in your opinion?
John Perrotto: I think Ludwick is reaching the point to where he is more than just a fluke. At the same time, he isn't a superstar and can't be asked to carry the lineup when Pujols is out _ and he hasn't.
