I'm sad. Pujols will be a Cardinal no longer. I'm not as devastated as you might think I would be. I did not crumple to the ground in a fetal position and start sucking my thumb.
For one thing, I think he did what any of us would have done. Could we turn down a quarter of a billion dollars to play baseball? I doubt it.
I'm also glad he is going to the American League. Being a designated hitter could extend his career by three or four years. The pesky injuries that bother him from time to time will probably be less of an irritant.
Finally, I don't think anyone can be upset at Cardinals management. A quarter of a billion dollars could have sunk our ship in the long run.
I feel it has worked out for the best all around. I will miss Albert, but wish him nothing but the very best.
