Albert Pujols is a Machine

There is no way this man is human. From Buster Olney:

We all knew that Albert Pujols was ridiculously good, even before his amazing performance on Tuesday night at Citi Field, documented here by Joe Strauss. Here are some numbers for Pujols with the bases loaded which illuminate that:

Pujols is now 7-9 with 5 HR and 24 RBI with the bases loaded this season. Surprisingly, he has been doing his damage early in the count or when behind (he is 6-for-6 with 4 HR when the situation is either first pitch or pitcher ahead in the count). More amazingly, perhaps: he's taken 20 swings with the bases loaded and hit five home runs with only two swing-and-misses. He's 2.5 times more likely to hit a HR than to swing and miss.

That is just not fair.
