Los Angeles Angels cut future hall-of-famer Albert Pujols

[True Dough]

Wonder if any other teams will pick him up? He's 41. Hitting .198 this season with 5 dingers and 12 RBI.

2. DFA doesn't mean he's been cut from the team. He's been cut from the 40-man roster.

In a week he could be back on the roster…or traded…or something else

4. While that is technically true

the owner of a team doesn't issue "thanks for everything" posts on social media unless they're parting ways.

3. For a good span of years "The Machine" was the best player in baseball.

No contest. It was when he was with the Cardinals though. The long contract he signed with the Angels was destined to end this way unless he retired as not many players in baseball maintain major league level production into their '40s.

Adios, Mr. Pujols. Your were one of the very best. I think he just passed Willie Mays on the home run list with his 661st.

5. Just looked it up. He's at 667 home runs.

That puts him in fifth place all time behind Bonds, Aaron, Ruth and ARod.

6. *Bonds, Aaron, Ruth, and *ARoid.

7. I get where you're coming from. My top three for the longest were...

Aaron, Ruth and Mays. IMO it's still that way, except I can put Pujols ahead of Mays as he recently passed Willie on the list. There were never any rumors of Pujols and steroids. And I think Jr. Griffey is next at 630, and no steroid talk either.

Bonds and A-Rod? Guess they're in a special category.

8. Ol' man Pujols still has something left in the tank...

10. You summoned the karma gods, Brother Buzz?

11. Number eight was outstanding, and I was sweating my Giants were going to have to go extra innings...

again. At the end of the day, an upper case W is the same as a lower case w; my Giants are in second place, with the Dodgers two games behind.

I love it when a plan comes together.

The Dodger fans are have really embraced Albert Pujols, and rightfully so.

I suspect some of the boys in the Anaheim Angels front office are taking some serious heat.
