The only bad thing I can see happening for the angels is if they find out pujols had been roiding all these years, like Manny.

Or he keeps have declining years? Or his wrist starts bothering him again so he has to go on a prolonged DL? Or his heel requires surgery?

All of those risks would make this questionable signing (in terms of years and amount) look even worse.

if he can give them 4 to 5 really good years then that contract wont mean shit. sure he could get completely injured and be ****ed but if he gets suspended and disgraced thats a different story.

not to mention the two titles shit louis won would be tarnished forever

Ya... No.

Pujols is averaging 44.5 HR's a season right now.

To finish out this contract he would only need to average 31.7 a year to tie, 31.8 to hit 763. Pujols has never hit less than 32 HR's in a year.

Thats a pretty heavy decline while still ending up as the home run king.

I see LA Queeffan's still taking out his "doyer

" frustration out on us poor Cardinal fans. Must suck to be a fan of a pathetic organization.

I would be very surprised to see him last more than 3 years as an active player and 2 more as a DH.

Dont worry dude it wont be that hard to watch maybe the greatest player since babe Ruth leave your pathetic city and play for another team

**FRCDFED** · 12-08-2011, 12:46 PM

Pujols also led the league in being thrown out on double plays last season IIRC. That stat was shown during the World Series. You know.....the 7 game series where he only hit in one game. The new contract may motivate him but up to this point there is no denying the decline in his physical abilities.

**DeezNutz** · 12-08-2011, 12:47 PM

If I were a Cards fan, I wouldn't have a big issue with letting Pujols go under these circumstances. However, I would be pissed if the team didn't make a major push for Fielder.

Too bad we don't have a recent World Series win or 2 to hold us over

You nailed it.

Dark times are ahead. It's going to be years before we even sniff the playoffs again.

**dirk digler** · 12-08-2011, 12:58 PM

wow didn't see this coming. I feel bad for you Cardinal fans. The team made a very fair offer and he decided instead of being a Cardinal legend he took the easy way out. He already would have made enough money to take care of 4-5 generations of his family how much more does he need?

Also don't let LA Chieffan fool you if Kobe Bryant left the Lakers for another team he would be crying all over the place.

Ruth didn't end his career with NY.
