Adios, Albert.

Failed expectations all around. For 9 seasons.

I like Perry.  He needs to do better on picking starting pitchers, but he has some big hairy balls to DFA Albert....

I think Perry wants to keep his job.....having Pujols’ name on the lineup card doesn’t help him much there....

Pedro Martinez is an idiot.  The Angels didn't treat him bad in any way, shape or form.  They gave him $253 million.

Dude was a fraud.  He’s nowhere near 41 years old.   I won’t miss all the DP’s.  Good riddance.

The last thing I was expecting is that Pujols and the Angels would part on bad terms.

“Hate for Pujols?”

Sorry bro but you are smoking crack.  I have never hated Pujols.  Ever.

Being done with him playing everyday isnt hate.

But thank you sincerely for literally proving my point exactly on 2021 and how everything other than being at the forefront of a celebration and endorsing something 24/7 is now categorized as hate.

You sound stupid. (One more edit to help you here: saying you sound stupid doesn’t mean I hate you, ok?  It just mean that, well, you sound stupid.)

Try reading words for their actual meanings.  It’s fun.

Constantly making negative statements and having negative perceptions is because of a subconscious hate.  

In addition going to name calling (ad hominem) is a common characteristic of someone having no logic to an argument.  

The more this conversation Alice hates you the more you prove your unconscious hate.

What legacy???  For us, he had a good spring training in 2012 - does that count?  10 years great + 10 years below fwar does not equal HOF.  Put Grich in instead.

Keep talking.  You are center stage proving what I said.

Albert's Angels legacy:

.256/.311/.447, 106 wRC+, 5.7 WAR in 1181 games, averaging 0.6 per year.

$253 million (including personal services contract and 3000 hits bonus). That's $44.4 million per WAR.

i can't believe they did this today of all days.

 

it's Robespierre's birthday.

Angels really bungled this Albert deal.

He's a first ballot HOF'er and deserves a better send off than this unceremonious dumping.

Now, I think Albert has been a GIDP disaster mainly in the middle of the line up the past few years.

I think the Halos should have thought this out - the time to end this would have been before the season started.

but this, after a bad stretch by the Halos - not sure if it's the way to go.

the Angels have been playing terrible the past two weeks. the problem seems to be in the pen and rotation.
