The media loves to go on and on about how Cardinals fans are the best in baseball. The media says lots of stupid shit.
This week, Cardinals fans had a chance to show just how the best fans in baseball would react to a great player doing the a favor and not clogging up their payroll for a decade after he’s already started to slide down the backside of his career arc. Albert Pujols, long the best player in the game, and still one of the best, signed a ten-year $254 million deal to leave St. Louis for Anaheim. So how did Cardinals fans thank Pujols for 11 years, a rookie of the year award, three MVPs and three pennants?

And this:
(I had no ideas trailers had fireplaces in them!)
And this:
(Father of the year…2011)
And that kind of nonsense goes on and on and on. As though it should be a surprise that a fan base made up of hillbillies wouldn’t take well to the idea that a Dominican should tell them to piss off, and leave.
But nobody can sum up the brilliance behind Albert’s decision to leave with quite the eloquence of this guy:
Well said, potty mouth!
