I'm So Angry I Could Just Kick Something!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If of you even slightly follows baseball you'll know that Albert Pujols just signed a traitorous deal with the Angels, it is for 10 years and a total of 254,000,000 dollars. This makes his earlier statement of "I'm not in it for the Money, just the Championships". This offer was 30,000,000 more than the Cardinals offer. If championships are such a big deal then why go to a team that hasn't won since 2002 while the Cardinals have won twice during that period! Fucking greedy bastard, it's not like he's going to be able to spend 200 mil in a life time(unless he gets a new bugatti every 3 months and casts them in gold). He's always been an asshole behind a nice guy facade, he never signed autographs unless you stuck a wad in his face and never put more then 20% effort in base running. Recently he hasn't been as hot either, yea he has spurts but not a major contributor when we need him.

Now What they need to do is use that 220 Mil and pick up Prince Fielder and maybe Hanley Ramirez, We'll have power plus we would have a major threat on the base paths.

I've always been conviced that these guys are in it for the money, no matter what they say, and this just confirms it!

And hey, let's not bring up the Angel's 2002 Series Championship, okay!

professional athletes that aren't in it for the money are like politicians that aren't corrupt, it happens, but is very rare.

You got that right. He's obviously in it for the money otherwise he wouldn't be asking for 200+ Million. I'm more pissed off at his lack of loyalty, the Cardinals got him to the spot he is now and he just turns his back on us. Hope the Angels actually force his fat, lazy ass to run the base paths and not jog them.

i call it the world serires/super bowl BAIL...ya everybody is all for the team, and their teammates...untill...

they make post season...

then it is time to renegeotiate...

honestly the last Pro athlete that stood his ground, took less money, and stayed with HIS team, was John Elway...im not just saying that because he was a Bronco, he had the talent to play anywhere, both at the beginning of his carrear, and in his hayday, but he stayed with the sucky Broncos till they won a super bowl...

i cant think of a single person since then...

so NEVER get your hopes up, no matter what any athelete says, they follow the money, and always want more...but lets face it, people like Labron James, are actually worth MORE to the team then they are paid, please remember sports is a business...

WTF....no seriously, thats gotta be a typo...$245m for 10 years???? so $24.5m per annum, and have to play in every match, injury voids your contract...you are the angel's bitch, and if your performance fails over that 10 yr period you loose it all? uh uh, i wouldnt take that offer if you offered me double...

I say he's going to blow his knee out around year 6 or 7, he has bad legs and he already tore his ACL once plus he always jogging to protect them which is utter bullshit move to do when he has that much influence. He could have made a statement by taking a smaller contract or demanding the Cardinals to give him less but he just had to be greedy.
