“The best parody is the parody of self.” - Mr. Bean.
This past Sunday evening the Cardinals’ offense exploded against the San Francisco Giants, earning an important series win against a quality opponent from the West Coast.
The game was out of hand by the 7th inning, and with the team’s bullpen in need of a breather, rookie manager Oliver “Oli” Marmol made a bold move: he used the club’s designated hitter, Albert Pujols, as a pitcher to get the final three outs.
The outing did not go well. Pujols allowed 3 hits and 4 runs in this 1 inning, giving up 2 homers and a walk.
