OJ, who attended usc, convinced himself he didn't kill anybody. 

If you can't hit, you need to sit.

If you want more of this bs, the Times had an Albert story too

Mike asked me to fify.

[fan_since79]

"Why are we here?"

"We're waiting for Albert."

"Why?"

"He'll have a bounceback season."

"Again? We've been waiting for seven years."

"He's had more surgeries. He feels really excited about where he's at."

"Where is he, I'm getting tired of waiting."

"You shut your mouth."

[yk9001]

Can someone post the definition of insanity again?

[fan_since79]

The one thing that's certain is we're going to be constantly reminded of his career milestones this year.

bounce back season?  bounce back to what?  it's gonna take one hell of a bounce to get back to 2011.

Why do you do this to yourself?  You know you hate it, why do you listen or read his quotes?  I actually know why, just waiting for you to figure it out.

His umbrage is what gets fans annoyed.  But why would we ever expect him to admit that he's not as good as he used to be?  

 

Living in self-delusion can be quite satisfying, but there does come the occasion when reality delivers a crisp slap to the face.

Hmm. Maybe we SHOULD sign Machado. Something tells me he would have no problem telling Pujols to his face that he sucks.

Vernon Wells disagrees.

He was ring side at the UFC fight last night.  That doesn't mean anything but they showed him.

Once you are in your mid 40s, it is hard to recover from these surgeries.

I'm getting the feeling that Albert is gonna make a big stink about his playing time.

Was he with this guy? They seem like theyd get along.

[fan_since79]

If Ausmus has any smarts about him, he'll ignore this "I'm expecting to play 162 games" nonsense, and proceed to manage the lineup in a rational way.

We'll see...

David Ortiz could gain 50 more pounds, and roll out of bed hung over and easily play in more games and outhit Albert.

I am about as excited to see Albert hit as I am to watch a new video from Madonna's with her grinding and writhing in a swimsuit.

[yk9001]

He consistently has the least interesting, most defensive quotes.  From season 1, when he didn't hit a hr the first month and a half, up to today.

[Dtwncbad]

I am being 100% truthful here.  Pujols is LITERALLY the least interesting player on the roster to watch hit.

Pujols coming up means it's the right time to run to the fridge, the bathroom or the mailbox.

I cannot think of a more boring hitter.

The optimist in me hopes that he might exit gracefully with a restructured buy out but the realist in me keeps defaulting back to "this is going to be a mess"....I can see Bour and Ohtani hitting well in June and Albert pitching a hissy fit when he has to sit against RHP's....

[Angel Oracle]

Maybe, just maybe, traveling to St. Louis this summer is the impetus for him to FINALLY negotiate a settlement of how to pay out the $59 million due for 2020-2021, and then retire in about 8-9 months from now.
