When an athlete says that he doesn’t want to sign a contract extension, and that it’s not about the money, that means it’s all about the money, right?  From Yahoo! Sports:

The St. Louis Cardinals were reportedly going to try and get Albert Pujols to sign a contract extension this off-season but it appears that the team will need to wait at least another year, according to the Associated Press. “I’m not desperate to sign a contract extension,” Pujols said. “I still have a one year contract in 2010 with a club option for 2011. The rest I leave in God’s hands.”

I love Pujols, but he’s not fooling me.  He can’t play the “I want to play for a winner” card, since the Cardinals are and will likely remain competitive.  Pujols wants to see how much money he can land in the free agent market, and there’s nothing wrong with that.  Good for you, Albert, I hope you get yours.  But don’t play like you aren’t thinking about it, and please don’t pin this shit on God.  It’s not up to God, it’s up to you.  God’s got disasters to create and angels to fuck; I don’t think He really gives a shit about baseball.
