Rec'd for the Angry birds reference.

And ripping on Texas of course.

The 2011 Angels, the biggest cocktease ever.

Did you hear he was a free agent?

Maybe we should think about signing that guy.

Pujols winning MVP award

Pretty much guarantees him a $200,000,000 contract (even from the Cardinals).

I never thought that Pujols would sign anywhere but St. Louis.

Cards must and will re-sign the Machine.

A must at this point

Otherwise their season ticket renewals will collapse faster than Boston’s playoff chances last month.

meh

5 years of being a 20 mil DH… a smart GM would… JUST SAY NO.

Sorry, this is his peak right now. If the price is right, sure, pull the trigger. Dude will be 32 at the start of next season. Scaryyyyyyyy.

I should add

that figure was based on 8/200. Something incredibly outrageous, something that’s a knee-jerk, make your jaw drop (probably in a bad way) kind of contract.

It would seem more likely if the East Coast darlings had a need at 1B and could pursue Pujols.

Are you saying Pujols has a Bondsian sized cranium?

Here's to the next edition of Goldeneye

hopefully it’s better than the previous one although nothing will come close to the original.

are you talking about videogames bc goldeneye was epic...it pretty much defined my childhood

by Halostradamus on Oct 22, 2011 10:55 PM PDT up reply actions

My cousins and I would argue about which game was better, some of us chose TWINE others chose GoldenEye.
GoldenEye had the cooler name and was more popular but I had more fun playing TWINE for some reason.

by LAA101010 on Oct 22, 2011 11:04 PM PDT up reply actions

Goldeneye set the bar

TWINE, IMO, JWTS (Just wasn’t the same).

Pujols Court in Arlington

Napoli's 27th, 28th, 29th and 30th homers of the year (four more than Jeff Mathis' career total) rained down on Angel Stadium like knives from the ceiling.
