Now that the other giant picture of Albert Pujols has fallen back several pages, it is safe for me to repost this classic photo depicting Albert appropriating both the George Gervin finger roll and Michael Jordan tongue wag. Is there anything this man can't do? No, there isn't. I mean, unless "having an acurate birth certificate" is a thing.
Last year's Spring Training Dugout for the Cardinals caused a bit of controversy when I chose to be preachy and somewhat dated instead of doing what I usually do, which is "read comic books, then write off the top of my head." I assure you, the problem has been remedied.
Today's Spring Dugz Dugout is after the jump.
The Dugout

MozeliakFirefox: If there's a way to keep you a lifetime Cardinal, that makes a lot of sense for everyone. |
|---|---|
|
MozeliakFirefox: You're very much an iconic player here, and if you want to stay, we're going to try to find a way to make that happen. |
 |
PujolJunkie: Gracias Mr. Mozilla-yak, it is e'great honor |
|
MozeliakFirefox: I hope you enjoy the next 15 years in St. Louis! |
|
PujolJunkie: oh, e'forgot to tell you, I am no 29 years old, I am actually e'32 |
|
MozeliakFirefox: the next 12 years in St. Louis |
|
PujolJunkie: I read that wrong, it say 35 |
|
MozeliakFirefox: the next 6-9 years in St. Louis |
|
PujolJunkie: way, hold on... /holds paper up to face, squints |
|
MozeliakFirefox: the next year in st louis |
|
MozeliakFirefox: Anyway, you're a Cardinal for life, and that's what's important. Here are your aviator sunglasses and your generalissimo hat, if you could head out onto the balcony and wave at everyone with the back of your hand that would be great |
|
PujolJunkie: general e'simo |

MozeliakFirefox: /wipes brow |
 |
ManningTheTorpedoes: boss, what's this I hear about being a Cardinal for life, lemme get in on that |
|
MozeliakFirefox: oh, no, sorry, that isn't something we do here |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: what, i just saw you do it literally seconds ago |
|
MozeliakFirefox: you mean the thing with Albert? That was a special occasion, a once in a lifetime thing. |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: oh |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: so there is no way that I can be a Cardinal for life? I was on the Nationals, so I am willing to do whatever it takes to stay here forever |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: no, probably not |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: can we do it like the Wolfpack and say that I am a Cardinal 4 Lyfe? |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: with the... /makes wolf hand |
|
MozeliakFirefox: no, sorry |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: can you let me win at the boardgame "Life," and report it to ESPN as breaking news |
|
MozeliakFirefox: no |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: can I sit in the front row when we watch the eddie murphy/martin vehicle "Life" in the clubhouse |
|
MozeliakFirefox: what, are you just googling "Life" now? |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: can I eat a bowl of ... /closes browser no |
|
MozeliakFirefox: and before you ask, you can't kill anybody in Busch Stadium and be put in jail in St. Louis for life. If we say you've got to be a National again, you've got to be a National again |
|
MozeliakFirefox: we didn't let Curt Flood get away with that sh**, I don't know what makes you think we'd let you get away with it |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: okay can i eat least bat eighth when i pitch? |
 |
LaRussasOnFire: no |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: you guys are jerks, i'm gonna go out there and take pujols' m. bison hat and shove him off the balcony |
|
ManningTheTorpedoes: then he will break his legs and you will have given lifelong power to the secretly 48-year old andruw jones |
| **Online Host** ManningTheTorpedoes has left the chatroom. |
|
|
MozeliakFirefox: do you think he's really gonna do it? |
|
LaRussasOnFire: probably, but we've got time, he can't do anything without walking four guys first |

 |
KyleLohsetomy: hey, did I hear you guys were letting people be Cardinals for life |
