I Suppose That's One Way To Beat The Padres

I found this video over at With Leather. I don't what to say about Albert Pujols. The man is a beast. So much in fact that one might think he took it upon himself to take out the Padres one by one.
We start the carnage off in the top of the 3rd as Prince Albert lines a Chris Young pitch off Young's face (note the irony that Young and Randy Johnson are the only pitchers in the league who would be affected by that line drive as they are both 6'10 or taller). Later that inning as Pujols comes around to score he slides right into Josh Bard's angle and pretty much makes everyone sitting in the first five to ten rows want to throw up. It's ugly. Watch at your own descretion.
This video is both plays in one--so wait until about 3:10 and you'll see the play at the plate.
Seriously, this is impressive. Have you ever seen a batter take out the battery in one half inning?
