I think TORS got it right the first time, Whitey or Lefty.

Pujols sucks. Watching the guy with the Angels was like watching Kobe during his last few seasons with the Lakers. Kobe basically torpedoed his career shooting percentage and win shares per 48 minutes. The Same can be said about Pujols and his batting average and OBP. Big difference was that Kobe helped the Lakers win 5 titles, two as the first option with Gasol being the second option. Pujols didn't win anything for the Angels. No World Series and performed terribly. Good riddance. He shouldn't be welcomed back to Anaheim if he steps his foot back in the city. 

If you're "Just A Trout Fan," shouldn't you be gone now?

I did have a virgin lava flow with dinner last night. It was delicious. The rum would have ruined it.

Just a Trout Fan out 6-8 weeks with a strained wrist muscle.

Will he know if I'm following him?  I'm so nervous.  Don't say anything to him but can you find out if he likes me first?  But do it casually.  Like tell him that I thought his hawaii 88 cutoff shirt is cool and that I have the same one.  But don't tell @cals.  He's being like super weird lately.

My buddy says every time they cut to the dugout and Albert is talking to a young guy, Hershiser and Davis keep saying "he's imparting wisdom to the young guys."  Every. Single. Time.  He's a little fed up with it.

the PR machine for the dodgers has been pretty darn impressive. imagine the task of trying to sell him to the fanbase right now. but the boys in the booth have been up to the task so far. i've even seen a few pujols dodger jerseys in the crowd so far.

So is Albert still getting paid the 10 million for the 10 year personal service contract or whatever it’s called after he retires where he is like a goodwill ambassador for the Angels? If so that may be awkward. Or did the halos eat that money too since he was released?

As far as I am concerned,  paying Pujols to stay away from the Angels is a solid investment.

They'll probably just continue paying, like it was deferred money, and we won't see him around at all. 
Much like his first contract he'll get paid for just about nothing.

Never forget, Arte Moreno is a business genius.

Correct.  They are known as NL Fans.

Dodgers announcers acted like they were watching UFOs land.

Who knew you could throw out the slowest, oldest player in the bigs, even standing in left field?

 

Ahmed could have made a ham sandwich after catching the ball and still threw him out

Not sure why they are making such a big deal of it.

It's routine when Pujols is the batter.

The announcer's reaction was the best part. One of them said: "Albert Pujols is completely healthy..... other than his legs."

I'm happy to hear he doesn't have tuberculosis.

Watching Pujols ground out to left field (and Ohtani) are the only bright spots (to me) on another Angels season quickly swirling the toilet.

Disagree

If he made a Jamon sammich, albert would have crossed the diamond for a bite, and simply been tagged out

Pujols gets benched the day after he gets HBP for an RBI.

F'n Roberts.
