It’s still wild to me that the Los Angeles Angels snapped up Albert Pujols and C.J. Wilson at pretty much the same time. I went to bed a few Wednesdays ago with both of those players available on the free-agent market. When I woke up, the Angels had signed the best free-agent position [...]

DALLAS (AP)—Three-time NL MVP Albert Pujols agreed Thursday to a $254 million, 10-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal had not been announced.
Pujols’ contract is only the third in baseball to break the $200 million barrier, [...]

Major League Baseball’s winter meetings are underway and big names have already started relocating. The big player to already find a new home is shortstop Jose Reyes, landing with the Miami Marlins.

However, the biggest name on the market is still sitting in the free agency pool, just waiting to be reeled in. [...]

Albert Pujols and his douchebag agent (we pretty much take everything bad we’ve ever said about Scott Boras back) have some mighty lucrative offers to consider this week… one of them being from the big-spending Miami Marlins, and the other meaning he won’t need to pack a thing.
The team reportedly met with [...]

How in the hell did they get there?

At the beginning of the year, injuries consumed the St. Louis Cardinals. The media delivered an absolute shit storm of spew about Albert Pujols and where he’d be heading following this season. This Cardinals team is a lot like the NFL’s Green Bay Packers from their Super Bowl run last year.

They looked finished during the early goings of September [...]

It’s hard to win a World Series without a little luck.

I’m practically impossible to win a seven-game World Series without a lot of luck.

And the Cardinals rode their share of good luck to yet another championship, beating the Rangers 6-2, Friday night in Game 7 of the 2011 World Series.

You can’t do it without some really good [...]

Major League Baseball has just announced that Game 6 of the World Series will be postponed tonight and will be played at 8:05 pm est tomorrow night. Game 7 will be moved to Friday night.

This postponement has advantages for both teams.

For the St. Louis Cardinals,[...]

The St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers shifted to Rangers Ballpark for Saturday night’s Game 3 of the World Series. The Cardinals wound up winning the game 16-7. We expected to see a lot more offense with the teams playing under AL rules in a hitter-friendly environment, and indeed, that’s how things played out, [...]

The story was almost Allen Craig. Again. For the second night in a row, Craig came up as a pinch-hitter in a key spot with two outs and a runner in scoring position, facing one of the hardest throwers in the game. For the second night in a row, Craig singled to right field off Alexi Ogando to put the Cardinals ahead.

But it’s not time to melt down that Stan Musial statue for materials [...]
