Speaking as a Mets fan, it’s totally sad, and 100% true.

“This is my place,” Pujols said. “This is where I want to be. I don’t hide that. I keep saying that, since you guys [reporters] started talking about whether I’m going to be a free agent or whether I’m going to sign here. We’ve still got two years left. … When my decision comes, then I’ll deal with that. Right now I don’t have to worry about it because I’m still going to be a Cardinal for two more years and hopefully for 15 more years if I can play for that long and can retire as a Cardinal.” - Via.
