I haven’t.  No reason.  I just haven’t seen it. I’ll put it on my to do list.  

Make sure you see the original one. Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze.

He's basically proven that he'll only bother to play well for the Cards out of spite for anyone else

It certainly seems that way.

What the actual fuck has happened to Pujols this last month, did he ever have a span like this over the course of a month with the Angels?

I sure don't remember one.

Honestly fuck that guy, got his contract, packed it in for us, then decides to start trying when he switches uniforms and has a personal record on the line.

Haha. Or he’s having a good 4-6 weeks.

I hadn't thought about Pujols' "personal services contract" for a while, but the combination of maybe hitting his 700th HR for St. Louis plus a new ownership team for the Angels makes the thought of him spending 10 more years associated with this team even less appealing.  I really hope they just pay him the full $10M and let him go about his way.

I thought we weren't supposed to talk about ex-Angels.

Am I the only one who read two totally contradictory statements in two short paragraphs?

His personal services contract may have nothing to do with baseball. It's with Arte, and may apply even when he sells the team.  Make of that what you will.

What? Y'all miss those double  play groundouts?
