Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols concedes his season may be over barring improvement in a strained left calf that forced him from the lineup shortly before Tuesday night's game ...
(This is how it starts, hang on it gets better.)"If I feel like I can play, I'm going to play. But the way I feel right now, I would say no. But we'll see the next couple of days," Pujols said, refusing to rule out the possibility of playing by saying "anything's possible."
... La Russa recently said he would continue to play Pujols, in part, because of the former Most Valuable Player approaching several historic thresholds.
La Russa on Wednesday classified Pujols as "doubtful" for this weekend's series against the Houston Astros and did not sound confident about when, or if,
(get ready cub fans) his No. 3 hitter would return on a three-city,
(start whining...) season-ending road trip.
(Cardinals start a 3 game series with Milwaukee on Monday...now)
