@John_31s @AlexMMM_5 @DaniWex But had winning records and made the playoffs 2012-2015. How were the Angels doing those years?

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@John_31s @AlexMMM_5 @DaniWex Cardinals had good years 2012 thru 2019 (the Matheny and sans Pujols years) consistently making playoffs.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@John_31s @AlexMMM_5 @DaniWex Valid points. 2011 was a minor miracle and I really believe the Cardinals were a better team in the years following 2011 without Pujols than they would have been with him.

@Bluestown901 @LauraLoomer He was a strong effective Senator and Republican party leader for a long time. But he tried to hold on for too long.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@John_31s @AlexMMM_5 @DaniWex No denying Pujols' production, but his habits - loafing to 1st base - standing in the box admiring balls that fall short of the wall - running through a coach's stop sign - are poison to a team.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@AlexMMM_5 @DaniWex I'll take Walker over 2 loafing primadonnas like Pujols.

@AugieNash "We've already established how i am doing."

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@flynavy73 Impressed by players on both teams running out everything. Maybe the Pujols poison is evaporating.

@BrigantiPh54886 @atensnut I'm pretty conservative, but read Stephen King because he is a talented writer and I enjoy his work.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@Scott_618 @dgoold Cardinals were better during Matheny years without Pujols the self centered grandstander than they would have been with him. How many playoffs did Angels make with Pujols?

@AugieNash He personally sold me a refrigerator about 56 years ago. He was the same in person as he was in his crazy ads.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@JABsMusic Notice Pujols signature WALK out of the box. Fine when it is a homer. Not so fine when it falls short of the wall as it did many times costing an extra base.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@BSmile Love that he ran out of the batter's box until the ball cleared the wall. Unlike today's prima dona showboaters most notably Albert Pujols.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@AugieNash Throws the outfield.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@gonefishin1948 One if my favorites. So versatile and funny without ever a hint of vulgarity.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@JohnDiesse51608 @TheBushArchive @mark_dow Of course they weren't found because, as everyone now knows, they weren't there. That does not change the fact that before the invasion most of the world thought they were there. Everyone now wants to ignore this to further the "Bush lied" narrative.

[Dave Drennan @DdrennanN]

@JohnDiesse51608 @TheBushArchive @mark_dow Every intelligence agency in the world believed Iraq had WMD.

@dgoold Will miss Alexa. She is excellent.
