@mattyglesias I think this carries to all American pro sports. Colts dump Peyton? Cardinals dump Pujols? The whole thing is a disaster.
@GarrettQuinn @mattyglesias Only makes sense from a purely $$$-based viewpoint. Hometown hero, World Series MVP. And you dump him? Disgrace.

@mtracey@mattyglesias IT sucked for Cards fans but I don't know if I'd say they "dumped" him. It was a $$$ race and they couldn't keep up. -
@GarrettQuinn@mattyglesias Well, maybe the multi-multi millionaire Pujols should have accepted slightly less $$$ to stay in St. Louis.

@mtracey@mattyglesias The Angels have the capacity to carry a ridiculous contract like that, I am not so sure about the Cards. -
@GarrettQuinn@mattyglesias Right, which is why I'm denouncing the underlying incentive structures in professional sports.

@mtracey@mattyglesias The Cards are certainly one of baseball's "haves" though. St. Louis is one of the great American baseball towns.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
