How Insulting!!!!
Deidre Pujols, the wife of Albert Pujols, the guy who just landed a $254 million contract for hitting a ball with a stick, was interviewed about the tormented state of mind that went into the horrific ordeal of free agency.
You see, over the course of the last ten years the Pujols family has had to skrimp and save to get by on the paltry salary of about $16 mil per year. Albert was the best player in baseball and by all acounts, he was due for a big raise.
So his team, the St. Louis Cardinals had the audacity to undercut him. They offered him $195 million over 9 years in spring training.
He declined and talked about respect.
The Cards came back with a shorter offer that would grant Albert the King of all payroll.
$130 million over 5 years.
And you know what Deidre said?
She said that the offer was an insult.
She said that free agency is hard and that she wouldn't wish it on anyone.
You know what's hard, Deidre?
Choosing between the electric bill and the gas bill. Wondering if the check is going to arrive so the kids can be fed.
One in 5 people in this country, the country where King Albert came to be paid a king's ransom...is under-nourished.
Most of the good people of this country, who work hard every single day, digging ditches, climbing ladders, working in healthcare, slaving in the services industries can't afford to send their children to college. They have double mortgages on homes that are breaking down, and those same kids are taking student loans that will take them twenty years to pay off.
And you are insulted!
Perhaps I don't know the context of how you suffered as four teams came at you with contracts in excess of $200 million freaking dollars!
Day after day there is a story that raises bile in me. This broad may have taken the cake.
And she can't even hit a straight fastball.
If I were Albert, and Thank God I'm not, after all the suffering he did during that tormented month, I'd tell my wife to shut her mouth.
But then again, I probably just don't understand.
Shut up, Deidre.
You moron.
