JUST PAY PUJOLS

The Phillies has decided not to pick up the option on Roy Oswalt and Brad Lidge.  Because the Brewers wanted to save money, the played chicken and Prince Fielder may be a cross-division rival next year if the Cardinals sign him. I know! I know!  Baseball is a business not purely sport.  Teams have bottom lines and owners want to realize a profit. The Phillies has decided not to pick up the option on Roy Oswalt and Brad Lidge.  Because the Brewers wanted to save money, the played chicken and Prince Fielder may be a cross-division rival next year if the Cardinals sign him. I get that.

Are they kidding?  Is the St. Louis management that greedy or that dense?  Anyone who saw Pujols awesome display of power on Saturday night and the effect of the teams (both his and the Rangers) simply have to ask--why would the Cardinals let the Pujols get away--for any amount of money?  He is the heart of the team -- he is the inspiration for it, as well.  The team can probably win without him bit it won't be the sa

Just pay Pujols!!!!!!!!
