re: Cardinal fans giving Pujols a curtain call after his HR is a disgrace

Ok, I could understand the initial standing ovation when he came to the plate in his first AB of the series, but it was every single AB the whole series, it seems. That’s ridiculous and I don’t even blame the Cardinals fans. I watched the game last night, and I blame Yadier Molina. Every time Pujols was announced, Molina would literally stand out in front of the plate and hold up the game until the whole crowd was standing and clapping. The applause ended abruptly as soon as Molina walked to his position behind the plate. It’s on the umpires, too, for letting Molina do it every AB. Even Pujols looked like he was getting a little uncomfortable with it.
