The $250 Million Dollar Man

In case you didn't know, Albert Pujols signed a contract with the Angels.  I wanna say that they are in Anaheim.

OK.  So, now I am a baseball fan.  After all of that sighing, fallling over, and straight dramatics, I discovered that I love baseball.  I am also a very loyal Cards fan.

For months we have heard rumors that Albert Pujols wants $200M over 10 years.  Surprisingly the Cards were willing to pay that.  THEN there was discussion about a bidding war.  The end result is that Albert Pujols signed with the Angels.

Bye.  Carry your behind on!

In case you didn't know, I am a Project Manager.  I manage teams.  I realize that the success of the team is not dependent on one person.  But let some shit go down and it is always the fault of one person - ME.   I am more concerned that one man could command almost half the salary budget for the organization.

I am pleased that the Cards didn't try to keep him.  In my opinion, they could have someone with potential and nurture and groom him...I know.  I know.  *They* don't have time for that in the big leagues.  But wouldn't that be a groundbreaking concept?

Oh yeah.  Albert was in at Nordstrom this week.  You know that my mother scoured the store looking for him so that she could hit him up for a picture or something.  She knows that would have made my day.  LOL

Did I just do a sports related post?
