Pujols's Pace

You may recall that I reported last month on the staggering pace at which Albert Pujols is hitting home runs, suggesting that he might just have a chance at Bonds's single-season record of 73.  (The Answer is Albert Pujols, Apr. 30, 2006, at http://bostondownlow.mlblogs.com/my_weblog/2006/04/the_answer_is_a.html)

Perhaps you scoffed at the notion.  Well, it's still early, but with 22 HR in 44 games, Pujols has not slowed down and is still on pace to hit 81 home runs...
