Dodgers sign Pujols

[T.G.]

If Albert had a hit for every time he said "at the end of the day" in that press conference - he'd be leading the league in hitting.

It was definitely strange seeing him in blue. 

His press conference raised more questions than it answered about how things went down.  At the end of the day (ha!), it doesn't matter - it's for the best that's he's gone. 

F the Dodgers.  Not because of Albert... but because they're the Dodgers.

Albert said he kept himself in game shape because he knew other teams would be interested. That dude hasn't been in game shape in over half a decade.

missed the boards the past few days. Dont have time to go through all of this.

But my first reaction is "where does muncy play?" Which is of course "starting 1B"

So albert is cool to play the bench there?

Sounds like he threw a tantrum, then realized he wasnt going to start anywhere.

Im surprised the dodgers did this (although its league minimum). And also surprised St Louis didnt

Pretty much!  I'm not exactly sure what type of changed role he has "accepted" over the past 2 years.

Went from hitting 3rd to 4th?

St. Louis is a first-place team. They don't want to mess with that.

Iron clad contract

I am listening to AM570, the dodgers flagship station, and they think Albert Pujols is starting tonight. Matt money Smith of the dodgers flagship station says that Pujols shells righties . They had to correct him and say that Albert shells lefties, but the radio station must be in a 15 year time warp.

He ain't shelling nobody.

I hope opposing teams bunt toward Pujols when a lefty is on the mound.

He'll do something. You know he will. And it will be a huge talking point for a day or two. But long term, theyll be getting what we got the past few years
