and st louis fans' nightmare continues. first they lose pujols, then we swoop in and steal IAN STEWART.
-
you're going to be wishing this went through when chris paul ends up on the knicks
-
how many blackhawks quit on that play?
-
Thus it is a bad contract because he signed with the Marlins? Uh, ok. how about you reply to what i said to you instead of piggybacking someone else. and no, i don't like that contract much, regardless of team.
-
but we don't

the vast majority of the people on this board would have hated all of those signings except cj wilson. a reliever for 27 mil? jose reyes for over 100? pujols for 254? buerhle for almost 60? stop your whining, those are bad contracts.

haha racist marlins
-
It's called denial. Let me know how they feel a few weeks into next year. yup. they're still in that honeymoon phase of winning the world series is dramatic fashion. once a few games are played next season and they realize what they just lost, they'll feel it.

But his friend said he wants to play for the Cubs. Who was a friend of a friend of a distant relative. Just amazing that the [expletive] Marlins are going this hard after everyone and we can't do [expletive]! what would have liked cubs management to do? give pujols a ridiculous 250 million dollar contract? call cj wilson and convince him that guns and his hometown aren't actually attractive to him and that he would prefer chicago? all 3 of the contracts the marlins have given out have been bad. You just said Pujols was the best player in the game and that his contract was not a surprise. And I would not want the Cubs spending that. And how are they bad contracts? They're trying to win and win for a long time. i honestly don't even know what you're trying to say with this post. i never said the contract was good. i said it was bad. how was soriano's contract bad? they were trying to win and win for a long time!

you said 175-200
-
thats not a bad deal
-
Why the Rangers hate? not really sure. it's probably irrational, but something about that team annoys me. it didn't help when they blew the world series against the cardinals.
-
also, suck it rangers. your division rival just got your best pitcher and the best hitter in the game.
-
holy [expletive]
-
they can command all they want, nobody is giving him that. No one thought 250 or 260 would be given to Albert and it happened. albert pujols is the best player in baseball

Link? http://gatewayredbirds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=48147 half of them are trying to pretend it's no big deal, the other half are raging about him leaving for more money. pretty fun thread.
-
it doesn't make sense for the cubs
-
There's a number of people who are kinda silly about honor and legacy and all that, but it's hard for them to get worked up over 10/250 when all the talk had been anchored near 200 million thus far. well i can understand not being upset that they didn't give him 250 million to stay, but the way they're attempting to act as if it's no big deal is pretty funny. a lot of "i'm not too upset" comments and stuff like that.
-
the amount of denial going on over at grb is pretty amazing
-
wait, does anybody remember that creepy little cards fan who used to post vids of himself raging on youtube a few years ago? the kid who went on a rant about aaron miles signing with the cubs. i completely forgot about that kid, and now i really want to see if he's still around.
-
Horrible seems too far, but it certainly isn't good. A tick below what ARod got, and he plays a less taxing position without DH competition. he also plays a way less valuable position and arod's contract is pretty [expletive] brutal
-
i was just thinking the same thing. that teams always feels super boring and uninteresting to me.
