No but I bet he does still resent St. Louis' offer. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:13 1
- But, David, it was never about the money -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 10:29
he had a good year, just not an Albert like year. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 10:09 6
- Yep, and instead of being a God on another magical World Series run (even though we fell short) he got to watch the playoffs while counting his money - Jim Nov 16, 10:10 5
  - Alternately, St. Louis would have had much better chance of repeating with Pujols on the team. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:16
  - Eh. If you still had him, no way you get 'Tron and his magical playoff bat. STL should be happy he chose ANA. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:16 2
    - I think very few fans blame the Cardinals for him not being here. And anyone who pays attention knows that it worked out for the best for us. -- nm - Jim Nov 16, 10:34 1
      - No doubt. I just want any excuse to praise Carlos Beltran's awesomeness. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:49
  - least he has his crazy wife/ -- nm - Beaker Nov 16, 10:11
I doubt it. $200M has a way of comforting troubled sleep. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:08 10
- He'd have gotten $200mil here. I guess it's that extra $40mil that made it worth it? - Jim Nov 16, 10:09 9
  - That's *alot* of money to leave. - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:13 6
    - It is, in fact a lot of money. The issue that Cardinal fans had with him was several years of hearing - Jim Nov 16, 10:33 4
      - I get that but...that's a lot of money. - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:34 3
        
        DeeDee didn't help him around here either. Suggesting that our $200mil offer was an insult. - Jim Nov 16, 10:36 2
        
        that's a dick move, agreed. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:39 1
        
        What's crazy about it is Brenda Warner did a similar thing as Kurt was leaving. - Jim Nov 16, 10:41
    - yeah, I could see maybe 10 million difference, but anything over that? - groiny Nov 16, 10:15
  - I thought STL's last offer was $180? - musubi Nov 16, 10:13 1
    - It was $180 with $30 million more deferred for 20 years. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:14
