Angels Official Website: Pujols opens up about struggles

How about tonight's HR then?

Yes Albert needs to go back in time and produce then. These contributions the last two days have sucked because he didn't do it before that.

There is no way they are moving him down. Dude would raise a huge stink about it, obviously. Just creates some unneeded tension in the clubhouse. With them tied to this guy for another 7 years, they'll continue to coddle him.

 

Feel bad for Sosh tbh. It must be tough dealing with people like Albert. Must be hard for HOF level players(with the ego's they have) to come to terms with the fact that they just aren't that good anymore. In Albert's mind, he's still the inner circle HOF bat, when in reality he's a mediocre DH. If Sosh moved him down, Pujols would take it as some slight against him and flip out because how dare somebody think Pujols isn't that good anymore!

 

When Babe Ruth finally lost it, he retired within a month. He walked away from a nice three-year contract with the Boston Braves. Of course, he was 40 years old at the time.

 

Ruth at 39 put up a .985 OPS in his last year with the Yankees.

Maybe we need to convince Albert he is playing in the NL still. Seemed to work tonight.

Atlanta is closer to his wife and kids
