I wonder what pujols does after his angels contract. I imagine he'd only keep playing where he can be a regular bat. And he'd only be a regular bat on a bad team. A bad team might take a flyer on him to sell tickets. Because he really only needs 2 - 3 more years to break the rbi record. Could actually break the HR record in 4. [Reply]

And we are nearing the 1/2 way point of the season and he's still taking horrible AB's in the leadoff spot. Our offense is sputtering all the time but MathenyII keeps putting in the lineup where he can do the most damage to the offense.
You want to keep Carp in the lineup, fine and dandy. But, move him down the lineup for crissakes. [Reply]

Good thing we gave him a completely unnecessary extension.
CARDINAL FOR LIFE!!!!
Get your Powder Blues now, folks! I'm really just surprised the Cards haven't taken this opportunity to sell 'throwback' Pujols powder blues.
Must be a league rule against it or something. [Reply]
