The watch for Albert Pujols' first 60-homer season is officially on

Albert Pujols has been so good for so long that I think we've somehow started to take his numbers for granted. As such, we've greeted the first three months of his season with our usual doses of awe and admiration, but with the same business-as-usual approach that the Cards star uses everyday at the ballpark. But if the spotlight-shy Pujols was hoping to ho-hum his way to another MVP season in 2009, he's got another thing coming. Not only is he scheduled to be the hometown belle of the ball at the All-Star Game in two weeks, he officially trained everyone's eyes on his home run total with two blasts off Randy Johnson in ...

His last 7 days, he's had a run-of-the-mill 1.797 OPS with 7 out of 10 hits for extra bases, 4 HRs and 7 RBIs. He's on pace for 61 homers and 157 RBIs. ...
