Holliday signs. The Deal is Done. $120 Million over 7 years.
http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?...=.jsp&c_id=stl

Signed or controlled for the next 2 years

Shumaker 2B
Rasmus CF
Pujols 1B
Holliday LF
Ludwick RF
Molina C
Freese 3B
Ryan SS
And 2 CY Young caliber starting pitchers
Carp and Wainwright P

We get Lohse or Garcia to step up and be a reliable 3rd starter in the playoffs we can win a World Series with this line up.

3-7 in our last 10

Chief Henry · 05-13-2010, 02:07 PM

p f'n u

Only 1 run scored today.

The Cards look and act as if all they have to do is put the uniform on and jog out to the field. Its as if they think that they really are that good !!! Last week the STL. Post Dispatch wrote an article that the Cardinals were going to dominate the NL Central. I think that article was written right after Game one of the Phillies Series. Since then they've been lathargic and it appears that all they have to do is show up at the Stadium and the opponent will WILT in the presence of the Birds ont he Bat.

C'mon TLR, light a fire under thier butts. That should not have to be done, but something needs to be done. This is a F'N JOKE. Including PHAT ALBERT and his god dam ground balls and pop ups.

He's allowed his average to drop to .315 and he has never hit 50 in a season, he sucks, get rid of him now while we still can!

I own a # 5 authentic uniform - but I'm not going to let blind loyalty get in the way of calling him out after he's had a horrible week at the plate.

The intire lineup is suckage right now including # 5...the table setters
haven't done shit consistently.

I agree with this. I think Pujols is the best player in the game but I tell you he is playing like dog shit and hurting the team along with Holliday and the rest of the disappointments.

He isn't getting paid to be a .315 singles hitter. He is getting paid to drive in runs and score runs. Something that he isn't doing.

For the record -- when BRC said nobody would turn on Albert Pujols in a contract situation, this is what I meant.

Look -- Cardinals fans love Albert, but they love their Redbirds more.

Albert is currently criminally underpaid yet he's taking some arrows for his failure to produce to his previous levels.

Now, make him overpaid and put him in his decline years. In other words, he's about to make more money than anyone in the history of the game while also producing at a lesser clip than he's ever produced.

Albert has not spent a day of his major league career being overpaid. From the moment he made the show, he's has wildly outperformed his contract. So it's been easy for Cardinals fans to heap undying love on him because he's never been someone that did anything but help STL win ballgames.

Just wait, folks. When he's making $30 million/season and complaining about not getting help around him, while also not producing to his previous levels -- the city is not going to be interested in his bitching.

You're seeing only the tip of the iceberg right now.

The lineup around ALbert is not helping him do his job at all. SKIP has GOT to get on base MORE. Its not all on Skip, but it starts with him. He got that first inning single today and the boys behind him didn't do crap.

Skip stinks, Ryan stinks, Rasmus and Freese are playing well, everyone else is not hitting to their potential. I'm sure Mac has some kind of awesome coaching plan to straighten them out.

Sorry, but he's caught up in the suck same as everybody else lately. The best player in baseball shouldn't be playing the way he's been playing lately.

If these clowns are going to bust out of this funk, he needs to lead the way. That's his ****ing job.

you had better not be right on this.

We want our players to be loyal to us but jeezzz you let your average slip to .315 drop down to 8th place in the home run totals and you suck, you bum, get your act together? Is that what we want? This generations "Stan the Man" and we start trashing him for a slump? The man has hit at least .300/30 homers/100 RBI's every friggin season since he made the Big Show. How much more consistent you think a human being should be?

I would argue any athlete making more than $3 million is over paid.

I agree to an extent. However, the whole Favre saga in Green Bay and how those fans reacted/divided would be very similiar to if the Cards let Pujols go.
