Pujolsapalooza: Multiple Reports - 10 Year Contract with Angels

[CrimsonCane]

I appreciate the underdog too but no one is an underdog by choice.

[Swifty]

Yeah, screw that. Win. Win big.

[Marlins11]

something happen come on

[Ramp]

Yep... and the fact that we didn't re-sign Miguel Cabrera, Beckett (and Hammer) is bugging me like no other at this point.

And the fact the Marlins still haven't bought out Stanton, although that should be coming soon.

[HUGG]

I think there's something that feels very wrong about this, but that's only because I'm a fan of the sport as a whole and Pujols being in St. Louis for his career is what "should" happen.

If he's gonna leave, I guess it's cool it's for my team though. I'm not gonna pretend it's not exciting, or that I won't be thrilled if we get him, or that I'm gonna root for the team any less. But I'm also not gonna be a giant hypocrite just because it's my team.
--------------------
I do at least like knowing if the deals are remotely comparable, he's going to stay in St. Louis and he's not just being a LeBron (except with championship rings).

[Marlins11]

He is a free agent. He did aton for STL. They had a chance to resign him. I understand what you mean, but it isn't like he is having a tv show about it.

That's so 2000 and late. It's boom-boom-pow time.

[HUGG]

All I'm saying is if Hanley walks in free agency, that's not what we'll be posting on this board.
--------------------
Although, I'm sure we'll have revolted against Festa by then and be on some other board.

Pujols leaving St. Louis is actually a lot worse than Hanley potentially leaving us, to be fair.

Pujols might be the best player of all-time, when it's all said and done.

[Swifty]

Stop thinking we don't deserve nice things!

[fauowls44]

Sorry, as a Marlins fan who has been through all the crap we've gone through, we deserve this. I'll feel bad for fans in STL if he comes here like I felt sorry for Cavs fans when LeBron left, but that doesn't mean we can't be happy about it or that we don't deserve it.

[Bobbob1313]

I would feel worse for Cards fans if, A) We hadn't lost every single meaningful player we've ever had prior to Hanley, and B) They hadn't won two World Series in the last six year.

Spark Notes on everything after 6 pm? Last nine pages.

[HUGG]

I never said you shouldn't be happy about it.

I don't feel like I "deserve" anything as Marlins fan though. They've won 2 championships in the last 15 years.

[fauowls44]

Besides waiting around for this news is waaay better then watching commission meetings with the teams future in South Florida hanging in the balance...
