  1. Oh shut up wishing aids upon ever player on the team is excessive. Kind of insane. Taking things said on the internet too seriously is kind of insane.
  2. Doubtful. The plan is to move Berkman to first.
  3. He was upset because the Cards didn't want to give him 10yrs 250-275m. You mean his now established market worth? If the Cards would have offered Puhols an 8/180 deal when Mark Tiexeira signed his contract with the Yankees, I bet he would have taken it. They decided to let him keep playing at a discount. They made their business decision. Puhols just made his. I'm not angry at Pujols for taking the money. On the other hand, I think the Cards made a competitive offer, but he got a better one with the Angels. At his age and that contract length it makes more sense for him to be in the AL. Personally, I'm glad the cards didn't match their offer. And yes, this sucks. edit - He was upset because the Cards didn't want to give him 10yrs 250-275m. You mean his now established market worth?

The media has been talking the last three years about "whether now is the time to try to lock up Pujols," and the team didn't do it. I guess we don't know for sure, but there were no reported offers until the one last spring. There were talks last year, but reports say wouldn't he wouldn't budge from 10/250-275m. The Cards were never going to give him that kind of money. It is what it is.

  5. Well this this isn't good news...
  6. The TV special was a poor choice, but you're being way too harsh.
  7. I love how the kids groaned in the background when he announced his decision.
  8. safari's are awesome. I highly recommend going on one. Oh yeah, the vacation angle is absurd.
  9. This is an excellent new feature. Configuring it is easy and overall the games look great (some blips here and there). If you're outside your favorite teams "blackout zone" I can't recommend this enough. Just make sure your broadband is fast enough to stream HD.
  10. The deferred payments make the present value of the deal worth about 16m a year. Boras and Holiday wanted a reported annual payment above Bay's deal.
