Anyone see any hints as to why pujols is playing horrible?

He started off to a slow start last year too, so I wouldn't be too worried.  I think he is probably pressing this year because of the new team, and new contract.  Last year, I felt he was pressing because it was a contract year and he had so much protection in the lineup he felt he had to produce.  He was back to form in the second half of the season.

I am still expecting Pujols to be in decline from here on out though.  His best is very likely behind him.
