Running Amuck in San Diego Like the T-Rex in Jurassic Park II: NL NOTES: Pujols takes out two Padres PADRES: San Diego pitcher Chris Young and catcher Josh Bard were knocked out of Wednesday night's game against the St. Louis Cardinals by Albert Pujols within a span of two batters. Pujols hit a line drive off Young's face in the third inning, forcing the right-hander to leave the game. Young immediately fell on his backside and put his right hand up to his face. Blood was running down his face. After a few minutes of sitting on the grass, Young walked off holding a bandage on his face. The padres said after the game Young broke his nose. Pujols' shot ricocheted to the left side of the infield for a single and loaded the bases with one out. After Ryan Ludwick's grounder knocked in one run and advanced the runners, Troy Glaus lined a single to right field. Aaron Miles and Pujols scored on the play. But right fielder Brian Giles' throw arrived at the plate at the same time as Pujols, who slid and caught Bard's left leg. Bard went down in a heap and stayed on the ground for a few minutes before he was helped off the field, dragging his left leg.

i'd like a player who can knock multiple opponents straight out of the game.

I think the Pads should re-sign Piazza.

I'd like a player that can hit a line drive.
