Rambo; have Mrs. D use cream cheese in the mashed potatoes. Makes them more cohesive for modelling an then, when you eat the model, its is soooo tasty…

Yeah…cause’ he never successfully implements the hit and run.
Wear it out…wear it out…wear it the fuck out.

Oh make no mistake Biceps…you can you bet your ass there will be a statue of him in from the entrance to the ballpark (immediately after he retires).
Right along side Ozzie, Stan, Lou, Gibson and the many others.

Nothing says, “it’s not about me, it’s about Jesus,” like putting up a 10-foot statue of yourself.

Perhaps you are familiar with the fact that all US currency carries the words, “In God We Trust.” The team that comes up with the most God will win the bidding.

For a guy who preaches like he’s very religious, he tends to ignore something that may be important. If he is indeed as religious as he thinks he is.

Deut 27:15-CURSED BE THE MAN THAT MAKETH ANY GRAVEN OR MOLTEN IMAGE, AN ABOMINATION UNTO THE LORD, THE WORK OF THE HANDS OF THE CRAFTSMAN, AND PUTTETH IT IN A SECRET PLACE: AND ALL THE PEOPLE SHALL ANSWER AND SAY, AMEN.

Jere 51:17-EVERY MAN IS BRUTISH BY HIS KNOWLEDGE; EVERY FOUNDER IS CONFOUNDED BY THE GRAVEN IMAGE: FOR HIS MOLTEN IMAGE IS FALSEHOOD, AND THERE IS NO BREATH IN THEM
.
Jere 51:18-THEY ARE VANITY, THE WORK OF ERRORS: IN THE TIME OF THEIR VISITATION THEY SHALL PERISH.

And there are probably 20 or more passages which warn against the making of idols in the bible. I know this, not because I’m a religious nut, I don’t attend church.. But I couldn’t help but read the bible myself as it’s an important part of human history at the very least.

What do I think about this? I personally think that it’s pretty egotistical of him. And I also think he must have made an image of himself when he was 18, because damn, that’s a skinny version, slightly slimmer than what you see on his rookie card.

Kinda looks like the Rocky Statue. With less Roided up Russians and Adrian.

cur nailed it in his comment, ‘ceps.

Gonna ask Mrs. D to make mashed potatoes tomorrow, just to start working on the concept.

He is the anonymous donor.
And quit with the “it’s up to God BS.” When and who he signs with is going to be they will pay him the most $$$ with the most years. Don’t get me wrong I would do the exact same thing. Do you really thinks God gives a rats a$$ where he plays?

cur,

Good one. You could mold the hit and run ala Richard Dryfuss “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” style with your mash potatoes idea.

By the way, have you commented recently with Utley’s Hair? I haven’t seen him on the board in a while.

Well lets see if he doesn’t re-sign with the Cards and see what the fine people of St. Louis do to said statue. I am guessing SIlva would lead the revolution.

Cur and Spuds,

You are both correct.

Umpire calling the out at 2nd with a tiny Pujols in the background, the bat still on his shoulder next to Mike Napoli, mask askew mid fist pump and tiny Scoscia angel tearing its own wings out above him? Hell man, I’d model that in mashed potatoes…

LOL!!!!! Best comment of the day!!!! And true. Same could be said if the statue was in Philly. With the economy, all metal is up for grabs by people looking to make a quick buck.

Great comment!!!!!

If that were in the NY area it would soon be tied to a roof and headed to the scrap yard.

How would the sculptor mold a hit and run into a statue?

By: rambodiaz

rambodiaz — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 23:01:23 +0000

Wow. So disappointed that it’s not a replica of him pulling off a hit and run.

Question: If his restaurants become successful and they build multiple restaurants, will they build multiple statues?

By: ultimatecardinalwarrior

ultimatecardinalwarrior — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:44:47 +0000

I consider it great marketing. Of course Cardinals fans are going to go to this restaurant to get their picture taken with the Pujols statue. And then they’re going to eat $20 steaks. Kaching!

I like throwing my wisdom out there in the offseason, bicepts-style.

Think of me as a whisper in the wind on a cold winter day.

By: paperlions

paperlions — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:35:36 +0000

Yeah, nobody every puts a picture of themselves outside of their own businesses….ever. He is Albert Fucking Pujols….of course he has a statue outside of his own restaurant.

Damn Bicepts, is this what you are going to be like without baseball for the next 4 months?
