Pujolsapalooza: Multiple Reports - 10 Year Contract with Angels

[CrimsonCane]

Am I the only one who isn't thrilled about the Marlins possibly turning into the Yankees? That doesn't seem like much fun to root for.

Would you prefer for Loria to pocket the money and not field the best possible team?

Interesting that all 3 teams courting #Pujols with 10-year offers will be directed by new managers in 2012 > #Marlins #Cubs #Cardinals

cubs the third team?

[Miamarlin21]

Damn. I hate Theo and Hoyer right now.

[Bucklin12]

It's not the Yankees. Our payroll will end up between $100 - $120 mil. That's barely above average.

[Marlins11]

I'll be pissed if anyone but STL or MIA gets him.

Marlins execs come downstairs. Loria mum. I heard him say, "I'm not smiling." No clue what he means.

Maybe this helps clear up Smilegate:

@DKnobler

Loria said: "I'm not wiping a smile" as he wiped hand across face.

[The Hanram]

DKnobler: Loria said: "I'm not wiping a smile" as he wiped hand across face.

That's what he actually said.

[Miamarlin21]

What does that mean?

[Swifty]

Don't worry about it.

[Miamarlin21]

Ok.

Well no.... but I'm not that thrilled about adding Pujols and a pitcher. I have no idea why. I wish I was gangbusters about it.

I guess I kind of like the underdog role. It's why I'm a Marlins fan (and Everton fan) to begin with.

[Madman81]

fuck, after all the players we haven't retained over the years, I'd be happy to sign the world

At least you have no idea why.

I get that. It's been our identity for a long ass time. But this is how meaningful baseball teams react. A new identity for us all. I'm embracing it.

Plus, we'll be watchable. And win games and shit.
