Albert Pujols’ totally arbitrary extension deadline – a hypothetical extension on a deal not set to expire for another 8 months – is one hour away. Feel those goosebumps?
Well, massage them down, because word is already leaking from multiple sources that the Cardinals and Pujols will NOT reach an extension by noon. Pujols will report to Cardinal camp tomorrow, and things will be totally, perfectly normal and distraction free for the 2011 season.
