I never criticized him for leaving.
I criticized him for saying it had anything to do with something other than money. God told him to do it. It was about respect. All that shit was just irritating.
He wanted 10 years - the Cardinals offered it to him and he got huffy because it wasn't a high enough AAV. They jumped the AAV up to A-Rod territory but only over 7 years and he got huffy because it wasn't 10. Then he played the 'disrespect' card and insisted that a 30 minute phonecall with Arte Moreno made him feel truly valued.
No, Arte offered you the biggest pile of money. And after spending 10 years insisting that it wasn't all about seeking the biggest contract and playing up your love of the Cardinals and their history, you did the same thing that everyone does - you took the money and ran.
He's just another hypocrite so his wailing over a Cardinal icon rings damn hollow to me.
