Phat Albert isn't impressed. Hamilton only got 8 RBIs, Pooholes has 9... (okay, maybe that was 8 in one night vs. APs 9 this season...).

And the other hit was a double.

I'm really happy for him. After his relapse during the off-season, I was concerned about him. However, he is playing like a guy who is in a contract year.

CF, oppo, (double to RF gap), CF, CF.  That's impressive.

Journeyman Mark Whiten once hit four homers with 12 RBI in a game.
Everyone's talking, few of them know
The rest are pretending, they put on a show
And if there's a message I guess this is it

Pssshaw....The Great Fernando Tatis once drove in 8 runs in one inning!
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Hamilton would have to go 0 for 210 to drop to Pujols' current SLG.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

None.  You can't drive with your doors open that wide.

Eight homers in his last 18 at bats. Mark Whiten never did that. What a dick.

Dude is fucking unconscious right now. He's playing the contract deal a bit coy too right now. However, a good man has to know his limitations. At his age and with his history, he should be thinking about the long haul in his life rather than trying to break the bank. he'll get enough to be more than comfortable for the rest of his life if he plays it smart.

Good Lord, he's hit another today. And the game's not over yet.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy

George Springer had 4 consecutive home runs yesterday (I'm sure that's been reported elsewhere on the site).

Insane. Amazing. Even George Springer is impressed...

Or about 15 hours, depending on how Cabrera looks at it...
