Pujols left a team coming off of a world title, and one of the five-eight best-run organizations in professional sports. Lebron left the Cavs.

3) He's not retiring a Cardinal. He went out of his way to extort a personal services contract to Hoover up even more of Artie Moreno's money. The next ten years of his life post baseball belong to the Angels.
4)They served Angel Food Cake at his restaurant when he signed.

1. He chose to play for our inter-divisional rivals. He did his best to beat the Cardinals. Just because he was old, doesn't matter to me.
2. Lebron's decision was all on Lebron. The way he left, all on Lebron. Pujols didn't leave that bad.
3. That personal service contract ain't worth shit to a billionaire with lawyers. It keeps going like this a buyout will occur. He will go into the HOF as a Cardinal, if he goes now.
4. Not a biggie to me. When one person in a divorce wants to leave things can get ugly.
