Guess we can cross Pujols off our 2011 FA acquisition list.

throwaway comment

 

in fact, he complimented wrigley right before he stated the obvious (that the field itself is a pos)

I thought the entire field was redone a few years back. . . . . so they screwed that up, too?

Wasn't there some big uproar last year about Zambrano complaining about how Miller is so much nicer for players than Wrigley?

 

Wrigley has the history and the nostalgia, but it probably doesn't have the room and the amenities that the newer ballparks have, especially for the players. I realize Pujols was in the Cubs visitors clubhouse, but here's the Cubs home clubhouse

Which is nice, but compare it to the Cardinals home clubhouse

There's a bunch more on YouTube. Overall, I think players are allowed to complain about stadiums. Wrigley probably just doesn't have the comforts that players at newer ballparks are used to. Wrigley is often noted for its great history and its atmosphere, but that doesn't mean that it (or any stadium) is above being criticized occasionally.

who cares he's 40 years old and uses steroids

Wrigley is a [expletive] dump. This is not news.

I dont see what this has to do with Cardinal anything. Any player in the league is gonna say that Wrigley's conditions aren't the same as other fields. It's not like this is a new developement.
