Pujols can wait

Albert Pujols tried to give away nothing during the celebration, tried to stay in the moment. But what a moment it was after the St. Louis Cardinals won the deciding Game 7 of the World Series over Texas on Friday night. Getting another taste of that championship feeling surely will tip the scales in favor of St. Louis at least a little bit when it comes time to talk contract. “Obviously, right now a lot of things go through my head and thinking about the whole season,” Pujols said at the podium after the Cardinals won their 11th World Series. “Probably like two or three weeks from now, that’s when I’m really going to be sitting down and saying, ‘Wow, where we were, and now we’re the 2011 World Champions.’ It’s unbelievable.” – Associated Press
