If Albert is asking for 27-28 mil., I don't have a problem with that. 8 years and that should get it done.

Tim Kurkjian was on ESPN earlier, he seemed to think that Pujols absolutely wants 10 years... Cards want to go 5-7 years, definitely not 10. Seemed to think they were pretty far apart due to the contract length. But also said there's no way they can let him walk... which is what I would think.

**** that. Give him $30 million over 10 years. The Cardinals will make the revenue up easily.

Give him $28 mil over 8 years or $30 over 7. If he won't take that, let him go and try to get him to eventually accept a trade.

If the Cards are dumb enough not to sign him by his deadline...they will deserve what they get.

Again - The DeWitt Group is playing with house money. They sold the parking structures that came with the team for what the team cost - in short they got the Cardinals for free. Then they promised that the new stadium would allow them to stay competitive in the current fiscal climate. If those mother****ers come with their hands out after they got the best player in baseball for a screaming bargain over the last decade, I'll be furious. Now's when they need to pay the fans back for their loyalty, not come asking for even more. The "Pujols Tax" should be paid by the people that have most benefited by his presence (Tony LaRussa and Jose Oquendo excluded)- the DeWitt Ownership Group. I would be insulted beyond all belief if they do that.

I would sooner suck Carl Peterson's dick at halftime of the Super Bowl than take $10,000 in cash laundered from John Mozeliak.

Dude, Mozeliak is DeWitt's and LaRussa's puppet. He's working under DeWitt's restriction, not his.

It doesn't matter. Every one of them should be summarily executed if this deal does not get done.

If Pujols leaves, you can probably chop $150 million off the value of the franchise.
