Albert suing Jack Clark

[Glen]

No witnesses have been deposed yet. Let's see how all this plays out before we judge Clark, Pujols, Mihlfeld or their attorneys. I still think that Albert will win by default because Clark will run out of resources to defend himself. So the longer it plays out the more likely that we may never hear the entire story about this whole issue. I'm sure that MLB is watching this closely to avoid another black eye.

 

 

 

That's pretty convenient for you.  If Clark wins you can say "see, I told you so!"  If Pujols wins you can say "we never got to hear the entire story."

But don't forget he has no horse in this race.

I think Clark's attorney is pretty sharp. Take a lie detector test and be done with it.

Before reading the rest of this thread, posturing. Both sides know no one is taking a steroid test. He's trying bro win the court of opinion before it goes to trial.

Call it sharp if you want, but it's standard and he is trying to get the public opinion in his favor before a possible trial. Seems standard to me.

Sounds like Team Clark has no evidence which is why they are focusing on a stupid lie detector test that has no bearing in court. Jack Clark has the burden to provide evidence that his statements are correct. He claimed that his sources are accurate and now needs to prove it.

Actually it's convenient for everyone involved. This should have never reached this level. Clark is stupid for saying it and Pujols should have just let it go after Mihlfeld denied the allegations. Clark is an idiot but he might just be telling the truth about what may have been said by Mihlfeld. None of us know what really happened.

[Brandon]

Albert F'd up. NEVER threaten a lawsuit unless you are fully prepared to deal with the ramifications that follow.

Thanks again, Arte Claus, for this cornucopia of good tidings Pujols brings us.

While I agree, if Pujols has nothing to hide he is up. Thing about it the other way, would Pujols go into litigation knowing he'd be a mark and have to be an open book?

I disagree. If the trainer is lying then Pujols lets it go and takes it as clearance. By putting himself on the stand and opening a can of worms he is ready for battle.

Or Albert simply knows he has more money than Jack and will push it to the extent before he folds due to costs.

Pujols could easily win this case by default because Clark will run out of money. Albert will never have to take the stand. This is a bullsh*t case that will eventually get tossed. The only people who stand to gain from this are the attorneys.

[mancini79]

If Jack Clark has solid evidence, wouldn't his attorney continue to work the case even when the money gets tight? Taking down somebody like Albert Pujols would catapult an attorney's career.

[Brandon]

Agreed, I think I said that in the beginning off the thread and was reminded why I didn't simply go to law school.

This thread is all kinds of awesome. YK turning into AO and Claude being Claude. Keep it up boys this is entertaining.

The circus just grew another circle. Polygraphs are complete pseudoscience.

I'm so tired of the Albert Pujols. Good thing we only have 8 years and $210 million left of Arte's nuclear apocalypse of a contract.

YOT, Albert was signed for his entertainment value. He's delivering!

The lines of sarcasm are constantly blurred, but this is not entertainment.  This is a disaster.

If you repeat something you wrote earlier in the thread, its kinda annoying.  Three times, it should be known as an AO (though a Perfect 10 AO will also have a reference to a 1970's Long Beach State basketball player, or a 1960's obscure sitcom character).

 

I almost pulled an AO.

[Stradling]

Hence turning into. I'll let you know when you go "full AO".

[Chimi]

I thought Jack Clark knew "for a fact" that Pujols used steroids. So why the need for a polygraph? Just present the facts and it makes a polygraph irrelevant.

Never go full AO.

The Angels signed Albert Pujols thinking they were getting Ed Ratleff under Tark.  Turns out, they are getting Billy Walker.  Scioscia needs to pull some serious Sargent Carter on his ass.

 

JUST STOP IT ALREADY!!

[Ohtaniland]

I really thought this story was dead done and over with. Leave it to Pujols to keep himself in the news.

Fixed.

Pujols will never win in the court of public opinion no matter what the outcome.

Does anyone here believe that Pujols NEVER once took a PED in his career?

Pujols profile fits the classic PED user.
