Albert Pujols is excited for Mike Trout to see “real” baseball fans

True, he worded it the wrong way. But I don't think he intended it as an insult.

You're starting to tick me off. 

We're looking for this...

[Chris]

It will be a privilege for us to be educated this weekend about real baseball fans.

He probably didn't. You'd hope he'd come out and clear the air if he sees some kind of response to this somewhere though, but I doubt he will.

The average baseball fan in SoCal is pretty bad....Went to a Cubs game last summer....They made Angel fans look like we were little league parents, who left the game after the kids stopped playing.

This thread is begging for a @failos post about "shooting himself in the foot" and offending an entire city...

What does Cardinal Oracle do?

He calls him PuGolds, and likens him to Nature Boy or some other all time wrestler.

That Taude guy (who goes by Wainwrightfield) needs to stop harping about how the Cardinals will never extend Paul DeJong.

I agree that was probably his motive but it's not what he said. He said the opposite.

Pujols should fix this today, now, or it will follow him. 

I hope he has a publicist with foresight.

People will forget about this in a week. You and three others will buy tickets to boo him during the next homestand, but other than that, nobody will care.

The Angels should paint all their seats red. Then it would be more difficult to see all the empty seats.

How can anyone hear anything in the video.  I turned the volume all the way up.

Perhaps not the best choice of words... sheesh. 
I dont think anyone here could suggest were that rabid when Dodger fan blows us away when they come to town but it would be nice to not hear that from our own guys. 

The Angel fans got plenty loud when the Dodgers came to town.  It was the best environment in 20 years.  I totally get your point though.

Its too bad we can’t sustain that enthusiasm at every home game, but a lot of that is a direct result of the product we’re watching in the field.

Hard to be “rah-rah” when your high dollar, free agent Starters have staked the visiting team to a 6-0 lead

Just watched it. I really take no offense to what he said, nor do I think he intended it to be a jab at Angel fans. 

Battered wife syndrome

I will tell you that IEBILLIKENS is an ass-hole.

Seriously, can the Angels just somehow leave Pujols in St Louis and be done with it all for good.

[Duren, Duren]

Albert may be projecting. Deep down he knows his Angels career has been a dramatic reversal of form. And many (including Cardinal fans) will see his move as purely mercenary. 

Had he remained close to his first decade production he may have been more magnanimous. But he now comes 'home' for the first time since the switch and projects both nostalgia for his own Cardinal adoration and the contrast in Anaheim.

Pujols is the guy who divorced his first wife to marry his second wife. And he has been regretting the marriage, and constantly thinking about his first wife for as long as he's been here.
