Damn - in even shitter news, Jeff Luhnow has left the Cardinals to take the Astros GM job.
Well that just about sucks right there; Luhnow's been largely responsible for rebuilding the farm system so we can handle the Pujols departure.

Pathetic. Like I said in the other thread, he's just another mercenary.
They should have tried to re-up him when he approached them three years ago, but a 9 year deal for a 32 year old player is more than fair. It's sickening to see someone throw away a legacy for money.

Might see how the Angels part of his career goes first.

You really can't be mad at him, but I can't get myself to root for his success either.
If the Cardinals were just laundry and a paycheck, then he's just the guy that filled that laundry. When he leaves, he becomes just like every other overpaid superstar that I get a little bit of a kick out of seeing fail. But the bottom line is the same as it ever was - when they say it's not about the money, it's always about the money. I don't fault him for it, but I sure hate having it waived out in front of my face like that all the time. Sports get less fun to follow every year.
