<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2469450ST. LOUIS -- Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols will be re-examined Sunday but is expected to go on the disabled list after straining his right oblique muscle Saturday, and the club fears the injury will keep Pujols sidelined for a "significant" period."He's sore," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said Sunday. "I think we'll disable him."Although the move was not yet official, Pujols was not listed on the lineup card. Minor league call-up Chris Duncan was, and he took batting practice.Pujols, who leads the major leagues with 25 home runs and 65 RBI and has averaged 158 games played in his first five seasons, left St. Louis' 8-5 loss to the Chicago Cubs after two innings. He pulled up and grabbed his right side on Aramis Ramirez's foul ball with one out in the second. He finished the inning at first base after consulting with a team trainer and St. Louis manager Tony La Russa but was replaced in the third.Paletta said Pujols, who would be making his first trip to the DL, could be out for as long as six weeks.</div>

I don't wish injury on anyone, but if he is gone for a significant time and the Cardinals suck, I'll be happy. On the other hand, if they keep winning w/o him, I hope the Cubs use it as grounds to fire Dusty, since we have played like crap w/o Lee.

Sweet, Soriano will lead the majors with like 50-something.
