Yep, me too
He is now 6 for 7 with 4 grand slams this season with the bases loaded.

That's completely insane. I wonder if anyone has ever had a streak like that.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Well, Mr. Cub hit 5 grand slams one season, and held the record for a long while. Did someone break it?
But yeah, Pujols is incredible. It's a difficult position to be in when a guy who plays for your arch-rival is the best player in the sport. As a baseball fan, I can't help but marvel at the guy. But I sure as hell don't want any Cub pitcher doing anything but nibbling on the outside corner if that fucker comes up with the bags loaded against us.

I looked it up: Don Mattingly hit 6 in 1987 and Travis Hafnor hit 6 in 2006. Pujols has an excellent chance to break that record with 5 before the break.

I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
