AAARRRRGH! Albert Pujols is on the cover of Sports Illustrated!

You cocksuckers just couldn’t leave us alone, could you? Lot’s of great potential baseball covers, like the latest Cub fold, the battle for the west, Huston’s hot streak, etc.

But noooooo, you bastards have to put the CARDINALS on the fucking cover. :eek:

A run through the world series would have been the perfect way to drown out the incessant election noise. Now they’ll probably tank in the first round. :frowning:

Thanks a lot assholes.

Maybe it just isn’t in the cards.

We’ll see. I’m a little shakier now that they’ve dumped 3 straight to the Astros, but I still think they’ve got a legitimate chance here.

Methinks it’s high time for a Yankee Team Photo cover, next week, perhaps. :smiley:

The Astros are very unphotogenic… to a man… I swear it’s true… it’d scare crap from your granny… Do Not Put Them On The Cover!

I beg of you.

I won’t be impressed until Joseph Pujol makes the cover.

I had to look that one up. Very appropriate after lieu posted.

I think the Astro’s are very handsome bunch, lieu. Do I detect a Huston fan in this thread?

ESPN the Magazine put three Cardinals on the cover, with the phrase, “The best team in baseball.” There was a “kiss of death” superstition about the cover of Sports Illustrated for a while. I don’t know if it is still believed, but I hope ESPN hasn’t gathered the same juju.

It’s not Pujols the Cards should be worried about, it’s that the smoke and mirrors their starting pitching was using to get outs are starting to crack.
