Pujols really did it. Signed a ten year deal with the Angels. It's sickening and sad. I know the reserve clause is dead, and I don't think anybody really wants to see it come back. If athletes can generate that sort of money, of course they should get a fair chunk of it. But St. Louis seems like it did everything it could to keep Pujols, and Pujols did not return the favor. And, unlike LeBron, he couldn't use the excuse of he wanted a chance to win a title. He's won two in St. Louis, and they look to be poised to make some return runs if some breaks go right. No, this smacks of being all about money. When you're talking about deals over $200,000,000,* it seems like the actual dollar amount is somewhat irrelevant. You should be set for life whoever you sign with. Show some pride in who brought you up and allowed you to become the legend that has been Albert Pujols' career to this point. I'm not a Cardinal fan, but most of my family is. And further more, I'm upset as a baseball fan. Obviously I don't quite have all my thoughts quite together yet, so maybe I'll write more about this tomorrow and be a bit more polished about it. This is just raw reaction. *I wanted to write that out so you could see all the zeros. Comments are closed.
