Not so nice article about Sir Albert...

The kids could handle the mess. Never mind that Albert Pujols(notes) created it. This is his clubhouse, where his rules apply and where the term leader is thrown around rather liberally considering real leaders, you know, lead.

 

There, too, were Craig and Freese, both kids themselves, going through the ringer. Combined, Motte, Jay, Craig and Freese have less experience in the major leagues than Pujols. Together, they make about 1/10th the money he does. Also absent were Yadier Molina(notes), Matt Holliday(notes) and Lance Berkman(notes), 28 seasons of major league service among them.

 

They could disappear because of the culture Pujols created, one the organization enables. St. Louis manager Tony La Russa empowers Pujols to do what he pleases, right or wrong, even if it’s the equivalent of ordering the lobster-stuffed filet and sticking the minimum-wage worker with the bill. He will face no discipline. He never does. That is life with Pujols, and the Cardinals’ Omertà means nobody calls him on it.

That is typical for the whiney birds. If Albert had hit three home runs and won the game he would have been right in the middle of post game talks.

Sensitive group after a loss.......

What fan isn't?

As a Reds fan, you can say all you want about any landmark in this area and it wouldn't keep me from posting in the game threads. It's extra sensitive in here.

You said sensitive group then use a post one poster as an example. Gotcha.

And Capernicus with Toothpick coming to his aid. And, obviously your feathers are ruffled.

You need to get a job predicted the future.

But the Cardinals aren't losers.

Correct. That's why I understand the hate. People hate winners; therefore the Cardinals will be hated by many.

 

Conversely, that's why I DON'T hate the Reds or the Cubs. The thought of them (if I think of them at all) just doesn't evoke an emotional response.

Sorry but a swing and a miss. And Cap and Tooth taking up for him doens't make them overly sensitive. Get over yourself. Yes, we were disappointed in the loss especially being up 1 in the top of the ninth. They should have taken a 2-0 lead to Texas.

PETA Tony's whining has spread or so it appears.

Your spelling is atrocious. The word is spelled "Winning".

I agree with that.
