After messing up the relay throw in the 9th from centerfield that allowed the eventual winning run to score for the Rangers, Albert Pujols jettisoned the Busch Stadium clubhouse without talking to the media. He let his teammates talk instead.
Bad, bad, bad Albert.
If Pujols is truly the leader of the team on the field, he also has a responsibility off the field to deal with the media. He owes his team that and the fans.
I'm sure if Pujols, in potentially his last home game as a Cardinal, belted the game winning home run he would have been front and center in front of the cameras talking about it.
You can't have it both ways. Well I guess you can but it shouldn't be that way. I respect players who can get up there and explain what happened. It's refreshing when a player takes responsibility and says, "It was my fault. I should have made the play..."
