umm...should we move this over to the after dark forum?

On Fox one of the promos seems to imply he had a walk off hit, but for the life of me I can't remember it.

 

 

He had a go-ahead homer on the road in extras against TX

Was just typing this one.

 

 

He hit a walk off double down the line against houston last year.

There was also an 8th inning 2 run home run that gave the Angels the lead that I can't remember who it was against. I remember it because Aybar was on 2nd and had a big **** YEAH! fist pump as soon as he hit it.

Pujols did have one big hit (the homerun). The infamous Texas game in 2012. I believe Scott34 started the "yo Carl" thread that jinxed it. Mike not pinch running for K-mo. And of course our wonderful bullpen doing their thing. If you could sum up the feeling of living through Alberts entire ten year contract with the Angels in one day, it would be that game.

[Angelsjunky]

If he is this bad now at 34, what will he look like at 37? 40?

 

Pujols may end up as the most reviled player ever to don an Angels uniform.

 

If he doesn't have one or two actual good seasons in him, I hope for his sake that he retires early. This could get really, really ugly.

That Texas game is where the phrase "gutting the lineup" came from. And now you know why Ibanez still plays.

Seven years.

[Blarg]

To me, its that time he got pissed at Aybar in the congratulations line after a win.  I've never seen a professional athlete look that pissy.

[Adam]

The only way Pujols isn't a complete disaster is if the team gets into the postseason a few times and he rakes/has big moments then.

[Adam]

That doesn't look promising.

You can't cut your losses with a guy like that but you can mitigate them. Throw him in the 5 hole

I remember physically having to copy and edit html codes to get pictures to work on that site.

 

We've come a long way.

gotta make you wonder if there's something in his contract that says he will always hit 3... forever... FOREVER!

I'm wondering the same thing. Ugh!

Yup...my feeling on this deal was always that it would be a bust overall...but if the Angels competed for/won a series or two in the first few years it would be deemed successful.

 

Same deal with Hamilton and why the Halos doubled down.

Protons have positive charge, electrons have negative charge, and Pujols hits in the 3-spot.

I will give up sex until the Halos win another world series, if Pujols comes in

 

lol, poor dude might be waiting a while.

Ahhh...but he is Zen, so it may not matter.

Nice, Adam is responding to his own posts.

[Make Angels Great Again]

I remember being at the presser very clearly.

 

"THANK YOU ARTE!!"

I have a Pujols jersey, the only MLB jersey I have ever owned, in my closet. Pretty much a waste of a hanger at this point.
