Wheeling and dealings!

I can't keep up with the trades and free agency signings that are happening at the speed of lightning in the NBA. Non-stop. Training camp doesn't feel like training camp with coaches having one hell of a nightmare trying to figure out whos in and whos out of practice. That's what you get for having a lockout!

And as for Albert Pujols bolting to Anaheim for more money, the second largest contract ever in baseball history (A-Rod comes first), it gives meaning to the analogy "It ain't St Louis without Budweiser." That's how big an icon Pujols is. The face of the city. Two years in a row, two franchise players take their talents to a hotter and more happening place, RE: Lebron James going to Miami. Oh, and just as the Houston Astros were relieved that they're moving to the American League in 2013 and would not have to face Albert Pujols and his big bat...apparently they're stuck with him for another 9 years (not counting next year). Nightmares!

CJ Wilson signs with his hometown team, Anaheim. What a traitor. Signing with a divsion rival. He should have gone to the National League. Jose Reyes signs with Miami, cause the Mets couldn't offer him enough to stay. Mark Burhele (how do I spell his name?) goes to the Marlins, too. He can't get away from Ozzie Guillen whom I believe he loves playing for. Jonathan Papelbon is off to Philly. Now the National League gets to see how good he is, or how he had an epic collapse.
