Stupid or not, it must be nice to follow a team that sometimes can say "screw it, let's spend some money and try to buy our way out of trouble."

Or into trouble. See Barry Zito.

It depends on how you look at it. In essence they are just stretching out the payments they are making for the few good years he does have. It saves the Angles cash in the long run and gives him guaranteed income well into the future. Like a annuity payment from a lottery.

Don't. Because as long as they are in Anaheim they are NOT an LA team.


Yes, that is all I have to contribute to this discussion. I have no idea who Pujols is.

Except the price is $255 million. So giving him the benefit of the doubt, 5 more years of productivity - that's ~$50 million per real year assuming he even lasts that long. I don't care how long you stretch it out, that's a ridiculous number. I see this hurting them in the long run.

On the plus side, I will get the joy of hearing his name spoken aloud more often.

Pujols.

Oh, sure, pick on the Jew. It's probably just his asthma medicine.

Glad to see Gwynn get a two year contract. He plays hard and has a great attitude. Definitely seems like the kind of guy that a team wants around.

Really Loney? Bumped your head? Yeah, that sounds reasonable.
