Just think how the Angels will feel someday with Albert as well.

 

Given the level of hitter (in the conversation for best ever), type of hitter (power, no speed), and position (1B/DH) -- much more logical risk

At least they can DH him.

 

And I can say the same thing about Soriano's contract the Angels will say about Pujols's. If Soriano's signing had won them the world series in 2008, no one would care how long he's getting paid for.

Hell, they might feel that way now. Soriano was immediate offensive dividends for the Cubs, Albert has been a black hole save against the Sox.

Any Wrigley horror stories? Are the lines long for food? Bathrooms?

Do people get mad when you get in and out of the cramped rows during the game?

 

Well they don't really have like a typical "concourse" type thing. It's not easy to move around to all the parts of the stadium, and everywhere you walk is pretty cramped and people mashed together. It's not a whole lot of fun when you aren't in your seat.

At least they can DH Albert at some point if his fielding becomes a problem. Cubs don't have that option with Soriano. He would be a decent DH for some AL teams....but probably not at that price tag.

Ha, Peavy is trying to hit the low 90s on his pickoffs.

 

Peavy does everything high effort

 

I'm sure he's a delicate lover

Well, the obvious is that Soriano did not win them a WS.

Will Pujols win the Angels one or two? Maybe. He has 3 homers, one against teams not named the White Sox.

If a guy wins a world series, it really doesn't matter what he does in some people's eyes, he has a positive blank check forever. He could go out and constantly make homophobic, bigoted rants, embarrass his franchise, and have his family make themselves look like fools even by insulting the team, and some fans would still give the guy a blank check.

Man, Cubs announcers really ripping in to Peavy this game. Saying his grunting is so annoying, and that they feel like they are watching ladies tennis when he pitches the way he grunts.

 

I'll never sit through a Cubs game on TV. The announcers are terrible.

Cy Maholm on the mound.

 

He's pitching a pretty great game, but his pitch count has to be getting up there. Seems like he's 2-2, 3-2 on everybody

Yes but his homophoic bigoted rants are exaggerated by his overall personality of saying anything and not being a genius with the language; lots of guys "embarrass" their franchises, Ozzie gets away with it by "being Ozzie."

How many years was Ozzie a fan favorite for this White Sox organization? As a player and manager? Many.

 

And yes he did manage a WS champ. What did Oz do that was so bad?? Not much. He talks a lot. He was a good player and manager.

Yes. Balta is jealous and wishes he was as well loved as Ozzie.

What, I talked about a guy doing insane things that would embarrass a franchise and getting a complete free pass from fans, and you immediately assumed I was talking about Ozzie? Man, you must really not respect him.
