St. Louis signs Cesar Izturis, Cardinals better watch out for their Pujols

The Cardinals have signed shortstop Cezar Izturis. Albert Pujols and the Cardinals better watch their poo-holes.

The Cardinals’ dugout is no longer safe for Albert Pujols and other Cardinal sluggers after they hit any game-winning home runs. Why? Because as we know – Izturis will have something really special waiting for them back in the dugout.

Just like he did for Aramis Ramirez after a game-winning walk-off two-run Home Run on June 29, 2007 … when Izturis jammed his forearm into Ramirez’ taint. Here’s the video.

The Cubs went on a ten-game Home Run drought following that little escapade, and Ramirez didn’t hit another Home Run until after Izturis was traded to the Pirates on July 19, 2007.
