Albert Pujols Leads Cardinals

For todays big news, Albert Pujols Leads Cardinals Over Rangers In World Series Game 3 With 3 Home Runs. It is a phenomenon that Albert made it to the fullest.

Wow, what a night for Albert Pujols! He hit three home runs, joining Babe Ruth and Reggie Jackson as the only players to hit three in a World Series game.

Pujols also tied a World Series record with six RBIs in the game.

Ruth accomplished the feat in 1926 and 1928. Jackson did it in the clinching game of the 1977 World Series. Pujols and the Cardinals beat Texas 16-7 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series.

So much for Pujols struggling in the World Series. The three-time MVP went 5 for 6 with three long homers and six RBIs in Game 3 on Saturday night.

Pujols was 0 for 6 with a key error in the first two games before busting out in Texas. He became the first player in World Series history to get a hit in four straight innings, connecting for leadoff singles in the fourth and fifth and then homers in the sixth and seventh.

His sixth-inning drive was a three-run shot, followed by a two-run homer in the seventh. He added a solo shot in the ninth.

Pujols, who can become a free agent after the Series, was criticized for not sticking around in the clubhouse after Game 2 to answer questions about his ninth-inning error at first base that aided Texas' winning rally.

Moammar Gadhafi Dead

One of todays biggest trends was the arrival of the news that Moammar Gadhafi is now dead. It is been proved that he was killed in his last battle between their group and their enemy.

The grisly scenes of Gadhafi’s body being dragged through the streets of Sirte, and the unseemly celebrations of the Libyan dictator’s death in the Western media, are enough to make any decent person wince. Yes, he was a brutal dictator, and I hold no brief for him or his works, but is this kind of savagery really what we want to see in the “new” Libya?
Whether or not we want it, it is coming: the crew in charge of that unfortunate nation is no better, and perhaps worse, than Gadhafi. The fate of the rebels’ former commander-in-chief, Abdul Fatah Younis, prefigures a revolution that eats its own, and the ferocity of that revolutionary fervor is hardly abated.
Gadhafi loyalists include the largest tribe in the country, and after the smoke clears and the new regime extends its grip over dissident pockets of resistance, nostalgia for the relatively peaceful days of Gadhafi’s reign is more than likely to set in. Worse, the arsenals of the Libyan military have been systematically looted, with missiles and other sophisticated weaponry falling into the hands of radical Islamist militias. These militias are not fringe elements in the Libyan revolution, but rather they are in charge, with one of their number taking the place of the slain Younis as head of the rebel “armed forces.”
Indeed, the rebels’ military leadership consists largely of members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG), which is still prominently featured on our official list of designated terrorist organizations. Now we are allied with them — under a new name, the “National Transitional Council” – and US taxpayer dollars are pouring into their coffers. That money will be used to consolidate the rebels’ rule, a regime that promises to be every bit as repressive as the one that preceded it – albeit friendly, at least at first, to its Western sponsors.

San Francisco Earthquake

San Francisco experienced a magnitude 3.9 earthquake struck the Bay Area Thursday afternoon, causing no known damage but leaving a spray of tweets in its wake. The quake struck. It is a trend of todays news.

The quake struck the Hayward fault line near Berkeley at 2:41pm local time, but was felt across San Francisco — interrupting VC meetings, podcasts and general productivityas the city rushed to share its experience on Twitter. One user noted the gently swaying artwork at the San Francisco MOMA.

As many tweets pointed out, the timing was appropriate: California had just conducted a statewide earthquake drill earlier in the day.

Twitter is fast becoming the earthquake service of record, as was seen during this summer’s Virginia earthquake and the horrific magnitude 9.0 that caused so much devastation in Japan in March.

As a now-famous xkcd cartoon noted, the speed of the Internet means it’s becoming increasingly common for Twitter users in outlying areas to read about quakes before they experience them.
