Rosenthal just announced on MLB Network that the Cardinals have made a second offer to Pujols just minutes ago.

Keep in mind, rumors are that Pujols will be signed TONIGHT. Cardinals might be getting panicky.

This Just In: Brooklyn Cyclones to un-retire Angel Pagan's number, as per Kevin Burkhardt
.

Albert Pujols only hungers for competition.Is the new team going to feed him after midnight?
Matt Cain wants a word with you.yeah there is more to math than just 2+2.
Angels are in on Pujols.
Minneapolis sportswriters were doing this shit with Slowey today. Really pissed me off. They're terrible.Class move killing Pagan on his way out as well. Move him and stfu, instead they destroy him. Typical.

Bob Nightengale of USA Today is reporting that a MYSTERY THIRD TEAM has come out of nowhere and offered Pujols a 10-year, $200+ million contract.
Rosenthal says the mystery team is the Angels.

Eh. I've watched RamRam pitch for a long time. He's nothing to get excited about. His complete arsenal of pitches reside in the 88-92 mph range. That includes his fastball, cutter, and changeup. It's very hard for him to deceive a competent hitter. His command is shit; although he's in the general vicinity of the strike zone he throws really shitty strikes. Don't take my word for it, just wait until you see him pitch.

I've already given my opinion on relievers in general. I'm not disagreeing with your on Ramon, but I would say overall he is a decent player to have in your pen. But, yeah...command was always his problem here.

Stay out of my AL West, Albert!
It's possible he learned something in SF, because his K rate shot up last year. But I wouldn't count on it.
By the way, you guys have to watch the "Got Heeeem" on today's Intentional Talk. It airs in the last block, which should be after 11:50 ET tonight. I was dying when I saw it happen on Sunday. You'll laugh out loud guaranteed.

Sometimes if chewing a guy out behind the scenes doesn't work, you gotta shit on a guy in public so that he gets it. It's almost par for the course in football.

But he's not on the team, it's not like they did this midseason, it's after the fact. Just move on is what I'm saying, no need to take a dump on the guy, he's not your problem.

Phillies are no longer trying to trade Placido Polanco and are no longer interested in Aramis Ramirez. Amaro said it has nothing to do with Jimmy Rollins talks.

Sad Torres got traded, had an awesome 2010 season but he seemed to be just be good for that year.

Time to go to bed. Pujols' agent says no decision will be made tonight.
Marlins still believed to be front-runners.

Pujols decision is expected by Wednesday night. The Cubs and Angels have made overtures, but it's down to the Marlins and the Cardinals. Pujols told both teams he needed an extra night to think about it. Everyone is expecting Pujols to eventually sign with the Marlins.
Also, hold on to your funny bone, but now the Phillies are interested in Gio Gonzalez. I have no idea who is left in their farm system that the A's would be remotely interested in.

Part of me thinks the Cards have to be favorites right now unless the Marlins (or somebody else) steps up with another offer. If Pujols was wowed enough by Florida's offer, you'd expect him to be signed already. Perhaps Lozano is hoping more teams will jump into the fray with another day of neogiations? Or maybe they're thinking that the Cards will match the Marlins' 250ish million offer, in fear of other teams stepping up if they don't close the deal soon?

You also have to remember the Marlins don't have to stay that far ahead of anyone else because Florida has no state income tax.
I dont really want to post this on Facebook cause I know people gon get mad, but I had to share this bon mot from drunk jays fans for to-gaf:
...our local media has decided that Brandon Phillips' one last $12-million year before free agency is somehow more precious than a girl from Barrie who refuses to wear sweatpants in public...
