Strike 3 St. Louis!

Ok, here is the deal. Albert Pujols said he wanted a deal done by 12pm Wednesday, and somehow St. Louis has whiffed big time. He wants 10 years, $300 million. Yes that is a lot of money. But, he is also the best player in the game as we speak. As a Cub fan, its hard for me to even watch when he is up to bat vs. the Cubs. The guy can hit it to Northwestern's campus from Wrigley. He has been loyal to St. Louis, has even said he wants to play there forever, then pay the guy. Don't play games with him. I heard they offered $20 million a year instead of the asking $30. The guy said $30, give him $30. Can you imagine your team and city without him? That is the funny part, the Cardinals would be average at best. I hope he walks at the end of the year, cause the Cubs are going to be sitting pretty money wise after this year, and you better believe they will have the money. So Pujols, sign with the Cubs, make the Cardinals pay for disrespecting you like that. I heard today that a business man said that the deal is actually a good deal, because the first couple of years he will be playing like he is worth more than what you are paying him. In reality, even if he is 42 years old at the end making $30 million a year, its all worth it when the banners are waving in Wrigley Field that says World Series Champions. Those don't change, and they don't come down, so go ahead St. Louis, play Russian Roulette and you may end up like your buddies to the west of you in Kansas City.
