I try to be patient at the plate and draw my walks like I did with runners at first and second. We got four runs in that inning. That's the key. If I'd tried to come out of the strike zone, I probably would have hit into a double play. That's the last thing I want to do. I want to be patient at the plate, just try to see the ball and, like my dad would say, take what they give you.
More Quotes from Albert Pujols:
It's always nice to do something in front of your fans who support you all year long, ... There are 47,000 people up there cheering for you and giving you a standing ovation -- it's great -- but you can't get caught up in that. You need to make sure you get ready to go, and I'm pretty sure they will be pretty happy if we bring them a World Series championship.Albert Pujols
It's been pretty tough the last week. I'm dealing with it. It has been getting worse as the game goes on. It was pretty tough today because we had a day game after a night game. You're playing twice in less than 10 hours.

I feel pretty good today. I had a tough night Friday. I couldn't see the ball real well. Yesterday, I made a couple adjustments and it worked out for me. Now I'm seeing the ball pretty good. Hopefully I can keep seeing the ball for another 150 games.

He's come a long way. That's why he's one of the best out there. He's No. 3 right now, but I'm pretty sure that someday he is going to shoot for that No. 1 record because he always wants to be on top. Knowing him, he loves the game so much it's going to be really tough on him to walk away from this game.

The way I look at it is, if you're going to get hurt you're going to get hurt. It's baseball. If you think about getting hurt, the chances are better you're going to get hurt.

He was so good with the kids on the set. He just knew exactly how to handle them. The baby would cry and Vin would hold him and do all these weird sounds and the baby would stop crying. It was really cute.
