Simply fantastic to see Pujols get to 700.
Was very happy to see Pujols hit his 2 Hr's to get to 700. Heck of an achievement. Now, would like to see Judge hit his milestone Hr's, win the Triple Crown and take the MVP, just because they would be great baseball achievements to go with Pujols. -- Al
The O's remain 3 games back of Seattle in the race for the last WC spot with only 12 games left to play. The O's have done their part of late, winning 3 straight, outscoring their opponents 16-1, throwing 2 CG's, 2 shutouts, and getting 8 2/3 out of the other SP. It's been a tremendous pitching exhibition by a 'no-name' staff and has kept the O's in contention. They may run out of time but they have made Baltimore proud of them. -- Al

My spidey senses tell me that the Dodgers, who have clinched their division and are cruising toward the playoffs, served up a couple of softies for Pujols.
I think it's just the LA need for the spotlight. After all, wasn't it LA pitcher Al Downing who served up Mr. Aaron's record breaking Hr back in the mists of ancient history? Better to be remembered for participation in a big event, even if on the wrong end of the big blow, rather than be an unknown spectator. ^&grin ESPN is also getting a lot of mileage out of the commentator (can't remember name) who predicted Pujols would hit #700 on a Friday night in Sept., while facing the Dodgers, specifically Kershaw. This prediction was made and recorded in April. A remarkable bit of seeing into the future. No Kershaw, who had his start moved back, but the rest of the prediction was spot on. -- Al

What a feat; imagine him getting #700 off of all people, a generational talent like Phil Bickford, I mean who on earth saw that one coming.
Phil "I've got three pitches; base hits, home runs and balls" Bickford.

Lifelong Giants fan as most of you know.
Great to see Pujlos join Aaron and Ruth.
Binds has no business being included in the 700 club.

It's been a thrill watching Pujols and Judge pursue the benchmark numbers. I was around in 1961 when Maris and Mantle went after the Babe. That chase is what turned me into a lifelong baseball fan. Hope a few youngsters got the same thrill with this pursuit as I did with the M & M boys and will become lifelong fans, as I did. With the resurgence of the O's, it's been a fun season, despite the collapse of the Nats. Will be sorry to see this season end but I still want to see Judge set the record, win the Triple Crown, and take the MVP. What a season this has been and all kudos to two class acts, Pujols and Judge. -- Al
The 2021 O's were terrible, ending the season at 52-110. What a difference a year makes. Last night, the O's clinched a .500 or better record, winning their 81st game of the year. They are now 81-76, so an improvement of 30+ games over 2021 is all but a certainty. That is a pretty impressive achievement for basically the same club from 2021. A year more experience, and improvements in all aspects of the game are the reasons. Brandon Hyde must be in serious contention for Manager of the Year. Well done, O's. It has been fun watching the team become competitive once again. -- Al

Pujols had another good day a double, homer (702) and 3 RBI's which tied him with Babe Ruth for first place (2214). I hate to see him go but he couldn't leave on a higher note. Haven't seen the Yankees but the teams seem to be pitching Judge real tough. Plus he's probably nervous with everyone watching his every move. I hope he gets his 62nd.

It has been fantastic watching Pujols and Judge chase history.
Watched every Judge AB against the O's this weekend. He isn't getting much to hit and as a result you can see him pressing, trying to make something happen on any pitch that might be close to the strike zone. Would love to see the record set but there are only 3 games left. Even if the record remains tied, it is baseball history, and it has been a real thrill to watch the chase unfold all summer and watch Judge handle the pressure with class. Glad to have been a small part of the fanship on this one. -- Al
