I know I haven't posted about the cardinals since the world series, but a lot has happened!
In case you haven't heard (I hope you have) Mike Matheny is the new Cardinals manager!
I feel like that decision happened at rapid speed, but maybe I'm just used to the politics and extreme slowness that happens at work. (It took over 6 months to hire an Assistant Director... not an exaggeration.)
I have heard people wonder what happened in that interview to make him chosen over oquendo (third base coach)?
I have a positive attitude about this. I'll miss Tony, but I trust the Cards and I'm excited that they're keeping the job in the organization. I guess I feel like he'll understand Cardinals baseball and the way we do things a little better.
Articles were written about how great of an opportunity managing in St. Louis would be. Speculations were made.
And Matheny came out on top.
oh... and. pujols is no longer a cardinal.
he's heading to the angels in la.
$250-$260 million for 10 years! i'm not kidding.
the cardinals offered $220 apparently. and when i heard that i decided it was time to let him go. I said this before. We can't afford to spend that much on ONE player and still have a contending team. That's one reason I love the cardinals.
yes, pujols is an excellent player and he did amazing things for the cardinals. thank you, pujols.
but if they spend that much on one player for TEN years, ticket prices would go up, affecting everyone. this seems rather selfish to me (i know spoken like a true liberal).
people seem to think we'll still contend without him. (i like that way of thinking).
we'll see next year...
so it's been fun pujols. the cardinals will always remember you and after this all dies off give you the respect you deserve (my facebook blew up yesterday with all kinds of comments).
