Albert Pujols has gone on record to say the Cardinals should make a run at free agent masher (and headache) extraordinaire Manny Ramirez. “I speak with Manny every three days and he tells me, ‘Man, no one wants to sign me,’” Pujols said. “I’m not an agent or general manager, but I can’t understand how Manny has not signed.” The slugger added, “Maybe St. Louis doesn’t have the money to sign him, but he could give them a discount because St. Louis is a great city that supports its players.” Yeah, I’m sure Scott Boras would looooove for Manny to take a discount. And I’m sure Manny would be down with that too: He’s all about winning rings and playing in front of great fans who appreciate him no matter how much of a jackass he is. Boston was just too damn unsupportive and that organization is going nowhere, so he had to force his way out. Albert Pujols is a great player but his grasp of reality may be a little shaky (almost as shaky as Tony LaRussa’s grasp on sobriety).
