Should the St. Louis Cards sign Albert Pujols, or risk losing him to the Cubs?

One post???? I'm not going to get in a urination match with you, you think Pujols is 31, I don't, agree to disagree.

More like 3. But hey, who's counting? You think pujols is 36, the cubs want carpenter, and pujols would be a DH behind texiera. But hey, you are a cubs fan. Why am I not surprised?

It's hard to even tell what any of that is supposed to mean.

U must be a cubs fan as well

Yep. Still didn't address my point. Since Pujols isn't going to be with the Cardinals next year, where do you think he's going?

One post I got wrong and the other two are a matter of opinion, but I am having a debate with a know-it-all card fan.....Shocking. Never mentioned wainright, Carpenter or anybody from that pitching staff.

Wait? You said that? I must be seeing things. Either way, he will be leaving the Cardinals and landing in St Louis. Like he said today, "I want to be a Cardinal forever". He isn't going anywhere.

Oh, yup, sorry got you mixed up with the other cub fan. Know it all? No. Just speaking the facts. If you think texiera is a better first baseman than pujols, you are crazy (I know you didn't say that, but by calling me a know it all I am assuming you are disagreeing with me). Age is opinion? Ok, in my opinion, I am 22 again. But no, I am not a know it all. I am a know-a-some.

If the CUBS did sign him, they'd still find some way to screw up the season.

It may just boil down to priorities. Do you want to have the all-time "non-steroid" offensive threat finish his career in StL or do want to focus on adding to your glut of titles? Maybe you can have both, but it seems unlikely, especially with the way the Philly machine has armed up.

This from a ESPN article

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, citing unnamed sources, reported Wednesday that the Cardinals' initial offer was at more than $200 million and spread over nine or 10 seasons. Once that offer was turned down, other proposals apparently even included an equity stake in the franchise.
