That's why StL has won non-stop since Pujols' departure, while the Twins have lost 90 in a row for three straight seasons since Mauer's "necessary" deal. Do you think that Cardinal fans are looking back now and still angry that they didn't re-sign him? Because they were mad as hell at the time. Meanwhile, I know plenty of Twins fans who are saying "WTF were we thinking" as they try to piece a rotation together with bums like Pelphrey and Worley because all of their money is tied up in a catcher who barely plays anymore.
