I'm in the same boat. None of the replacement players will hit Albert level. But it's going to be fun seeing players like Craig and Matt mothergrabbin' Adams get a shot and see what they can do. The future is still good for the Cardinals.Radbird wrote:I'm not pissed. At anybody. At Albert for taking that offer. Or at the Cardinals for making a significant offer but drawing the line and not financially handicapping the franchise for the next decade.
A new era of Cardinal baseball is upon us - post-TLR, post-Albert - and frankly I'm kind of excited.
Plus now there won't be any confusion as to which statue to meet at.

Disagree. It's not that he took that much money to go and play for the Orioles, Pirates, Cubs or Royals. If he had done that, then yes, it would have been only for the money.Socnorb11 wrote:Probably already posted by somebody, but I'm angry - not because Albert took the money, so much. I'm angry because he specifically said that it wasn't just about the money. It clearly was JUST about the money. The Cardinals have won 2 World Series' in 6 years. It's not about winning for Albert.

Yeah, and doing this, the Angels further whip the Dodgers in the market share battle for LA metropolis.Michael wrote:This is tough, but I'm glad we didn't match that contract. Giving 10 years to Pujols in the AL makes more sense because he can DH.

It's tough to argue the Cardinals are a better team come spring training than the Angels....Socnorb11 wrote:It's not about winning for Albert.
