Sounds like a mix between Fox News and the 500 Club.
Yeah it... really wasn't worth listening to after the first few minutes or so. I kinda jumped the gun recommending it.
•Deidre was confused that the Cardinals said they wanted Albert to be a Cardinal for life but only offered a five-year deal. She feels she and Albert have been given an unfair trial by the public, based on "deceiving numbers" in the media. She explained, "The offer that people have seen on television...had that offer been the one that was given to us with guarantee, we would have a bird on our back. It wasn't a guaranteed situation." Deidre also confirmed they turned down a larger offer in taking $254MM from the Angels. Marlins president David Samson told reporters they were at ten years and "a hair over $200MM," so it's unclear which team offered more than $254MM, if any.
If they're so upset about this and willing to talk in the media, then just get the contract numbers out there. No one has said that the Cards deal was guaranteed. And news for you Deidre, no one thinks that you should have gotten a 10 year guarantee.
Why don't they just talk about the Angels and how great life will be in Anaheim? That's what they need to be doing. There is no damage control for this. There is just moving on and focusing on the future. They would be much better off never saying another word about St Louis or the contract negotiations or anything.

Yep, the more they talk the worse it gets for them. Their sense of entitlement and arrogance has been offended.

I reminded AP on Saturday how much he'll miss STL media. He replied, "Maybe everybody but you." A truly honest moment.
Remember after game 2 of the World Series when Albert did not talk to the media after the game, a game where he made a costly gaffe in the field?
How will that go over in Anaheim when he pulls that stunt?
It's easy to overlook because of Albert's performance in game 3...but I guarantee you his teammates who stayed to talk to the media didn't forget about it. And this wasn't the 1st time he'd done it either. Just the most high profile time.

Every time I feel like I'm over this they say something that just makes me more pissed about it. He left for money after saying he wouldn't....that's infuriating, but if we leave it there, I can put it behind me. [expletive] like this is just insulting, though. It's insulting to us as people who could never dream of that kind of money and it's insulting to the people who have been showing them love for 11 years. Do the #5 jerseys, the standing O's, the support of his foundation and the excusing of his surliness mean nothing? I always thought I'd respect Albert if/when he left, but I think he'll always be a villain to me after this.
