He's not the man I thought he was, and that's more disappointing than anything. Good job to Mo and the office for making a VERY competitive offer but not folding to him.

Yeah, that's where I am with this. It's just disappointing because it really changes my opinion of him as a person. I'm not going to boo him, but I'm certainly not going to applaud him ever again. But, it's not like he went to a team like the Orioles and went only for the money. The Angels are a good organization, with some pieces in place, and a good manager. I can see why that spot was attractive to Pujols. If he had gone only for the money, I'd be kind of upset right now.

And like you said, the FO did all they could, and worked as hard as they could, but they didn't go Jim Hendry and just throw stupid money and years like Moreno and company did just to get him.

Agree with both of you.

This is why I never think of professional athletes as anything more than just professional athletes. They can say whatever they want, but they don't care about the fans or the teams they play for and the cities in which they live. For the most part, they just want to get paid and are complete [expletive].

Not much to say that already hasn't been said. This changes my perception of Albert as a person but I'm not mad at him or the Cards right now. The Angels made an enticing offer so it's hard to blame anybody. At least he's in the AL; wish him the best of luck.

3:30 MO speaks

for those interested Veron Wells getting ready to come on MLB Network and MO's presser should be starting pretty soon here

Since the Angels have so much money now I'm surprised they don't just cut Wells and his contract so Trout can play.

Well, I am not mad.

He went where the money was, but it does change what I think of him as a person a bit.

If they're just going to steal a picture of Pujols as a Cardinal and slap their logo on the hat, why don't they just take the championship trophy and slap the Angels logo on it.

GET YOUR OWN PICTURES OF PUJOLS.
