Anybody know what the Cards reportedly offered Pujols?

Olney reported during 2011 winter meetings that it was 9/200.

Clutch hit by Buxton. I am relieved that he did not bunt.

 

The Cards reportedly offered Pujols $210M.

Hmm, yet the Cards were unwilling to match the $240 million offered by the Angels? In the life of that contract, 30 million is pocket change.

 

Anyway, found this: http://tinyurl.com/hjtl328

 

Yeesh, tried html when the link broke and TD didn't like that.

BUX!!!!!!

A passed ball could score 2 runs with Buxton at second.

Hey, how about that Buxton kid?  Shoulda bunted....

It's nice to see this outta Buxton! Just imagine what he could do with a quality hitting coach.

Buxton is so fast, he walked into a bar, ordered a beer, and the bartender said what'll ya have?

Their final offer was 10/210.

 

Their first was 5-130 and didn't sit well with the Mrs.

They even have a game thread. Unfortunately I seem to be unable to issue infractions there.

So long, Erv.

 

And now--- "Gulfa" Tonkin, with his usual 2 "downer" choices:  Blow the other team down, or melt- down

 

Which will it be tonight?

 

Edit:  Uh-oh....

There is no reason why that should have been a double. That was borderline a routine single.

 

I just want to be the first to say this. Buxton is fast.

Great throw by Kepler to get the double play.

Tonkin has been pitching so much, shouldn't they just make him a starter??

10/210 with 30 million deferred isn't chump change. You're right, the Cards really dodged a bullet. As for Mrs. Pujols, well, I won't say what's really on my mind. 

That throw to second darn near nailed Tonkin. 

Cripe, Tonk is nibbling to this guy, when he should be rearing back a firing.  

.180 hitter, you don't effing nibble.

Super close.   Geekopedia says "Crom".  Known for his unnerving habit of laughing at the Four Winds, AKA my four uncles that I share facilities with for a week each year fishing in Canada.

Tonkin does seem to need a little drama to get him fired up

I had lunch at the park with the Dalai Lama today.

 

He went up to the hot dog vender and asked him to make him one with everything.

Shane Robinson is still around

 

Whadayaknow.

Mastroianni should never be heard from again! Kinda like Jimmy Hoffa.

I feel for you folks  back in God's Country.  It's late there, and this is one long-arse game.  Meantime, I'm just editing some video and glancing back and forth as lunch time nears.  

 

Or should I say Crom's Country?
