When it doesn't happen, don't be too disappointed. Getting Reyes and Bell is a pretty big deal, and they're not going to quit when Pujols stays in St. Louis.

If we don't get Pujols at least we got Reyes. And the contract is actually pretty nice. Good job FO! I say wait it out for all the other players. I think the next splash will be via trade.

SQUALL where the hell are you!

Pujols must realize that winning the.championship was a fluke, they weren't even in the playoff hunt a month before the playoffs.

We ain't done!

Opening Day could not possibly have anymore story lines going for it -- a veritable journalist's dream.

Petition for Squall to be banned

Pujols was totally using us. Can you blame him? It took the Marlins to make the Cards realize they were going to lose him. So it looks like they gave into his demands anyway....says a lot about the Cards though.

Tweets or it didn't happen.

Again, blessing in disguise. PITCHING PLEASE!!!

So he wanted the Cards more than they wanted him.

yeah and they knew it. It was just a formality really. He just needed them to up the money and the Marlins helped him out. He should tank every game we play them now.

Neyman is full of crap, don't believe a word he says, we are still in this, Pujol's weighing his decision as we speak and it's still up the air no matter what Neyman thinks "he has a sense" of.

Prince Fielder for half the price along with Mark Buehrle anyone?

 

 

Prince Fielder is not going to be half the price.

 

I meant cheaper...not half price...but still, I would much rather have a 27 year old, power lefty hitting bat first basemen and very durable starter over an overpaid 31 year old (we think he's 31) player who is getting a enormously long contract that a team may regret in the long run

I hope they focus on pitching now.

He won't be cheaper, he'll get more $/yrs than Albert

We'll have to give Fielder more per year, though.

It does seem like the Marlins were used here.

 

Are we certain though that the Cardinals have matched the Marlins' offer? I'm having trouble understanding how much the Cards increased their initial bid.

Don't you watch the biggest loser, Albert has a younger inner age.

It's not a formality. I would have found it pretty insulting if I was someone they were talking about erecting a statue of, and they refused to even slightly up a contract I didn't feel comfortable with. It took the Marlins' offer for them to scramble. The attitude around the Cardinals' first offer seemed pretentious. "You aren't going to get a better deal than this Albert, so you should just take it."

squall made an excellent pitch for Troll A. Bethan. Go vote, guys.

Hey guys, I'm gonna be driving over to the new stadium for the party on Saturday that Squall mentioned, does anybody know the best way to get there from Fort Lauderdale? TIA

Fielder is looking for what...6-7yrs 150-180?
