Pujols calling out Maddon for being a bad manager is probably the only good thing I'll take away from his time in Anaheim.

Goddamnit...never forget the spring training of 2012!

Albert, pedro and Ortiz bitching about this is like roberts bitching about the bunt last night...

You play to win....

I'd say something bad about Pedro, but since I'm a senior citizen I kinda fear him!

To be fair Zimmer was the one that charged at him.

no mention of this yet . . .

but albert's contract included a ten year personal services contract once he was done playing. i wonder how this is going to work out now . . .

Makes it sound like they were going to release pujols the way the Bobs got rid of Milton, in Office Space

"Wait just a second, professor. We.... fixed the glitch. So he wont be playing here anymore"

Then Maddon had to move Alberts desk to the basement.

I’m confused now.  Were they going to unceremoniously drop him or did he force their hand?

It seems like the Angels unceremoniously dropped him because he forced their hand.

[Lou]

I honestly don't give a crap how his release went down. I'm just happy he's finally gone.

At least now he has enough money to do two chicks at the same time. 

[Lou]

He tried to force their hand by insisting he's not a bench player. 

The team then unceremoniously dropped him.

Trout to pujols...

I read the article and have come to the conclusion that Albert, Pedro and David are the ones who should be paying tremendous respect to the game and the fans for providing them and their families with life-altering wealth doing something that the vast majority of people would pay to do.

Pujols making 30 a year, with a negative WAR the past 4 years

Pujols to Minasian, pointing out he mentored Trout

Not to get too dramatic here, but I agree.

EVERYBODY knows pujols has been done for years now... and theyve known for years how bad his contract hurt this org. 

And the org kept playing him, as a starter, well past his expiration date.

It was Pujols, afterall, who said years ago he'd quit if he didnt have it anymore....

Pretty sure Pujols remembers how bad Calhoun was his last few years here. And agreed it was time to move on.

And Calhoun has been far better the last 4 years than him. And can run and field the ball, too

I agree with the screw AP, but no last minute presser is going to change the fact that Arod spent his entire life pretending he wasnt a douchebag.

I won't disagree but even a douchebag like A-Rod knew to make his last moment not acting like a douchebag. Pujols went out as a douche.
