2012 Hall Of Fame Inductions, Albert Pujols Breaks The Bank

I've been asked my thoughts about the 2012 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Inductees, and here they are: Rod Stewart And the Faces(with Ronnie Wood), excited. NOBODY partied like the Faces, and don't forget-Woody played on many of Stewart's biggest solo hits. Donovan-excited. The "Sunshine Superman" brought folk-rock into the psychedelic era with hits like "Mellow Yellow", "Hurdy Gurdy Man"(backed by the Jeff Beck Group), and the afore-mentioned "Sunshine Superman". Red Hot Chili Peppers-Good Choice. An excellent band, that has been slow to get their due-check out their cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground". Guns 'N' Roses-Mixed Feelings. While their first album "Appetite For Destruction" is legendary, they always seemed like a band who underachieved, who took their immense talent, and wasted it in a haze of drug abuse, and internal conflicts.

ALBERT PUJOLS BREAKS THE BANK-The Los Angeles Angels won the Albert Pujols sweepstakes by paying him $250 Million Dollars. They also are going to be paying C.J. Wilson $77.5 Million. THAT'S $327 MILLION DOLLARS. That also translates to roughly A THIRD OF A BILLION DOLLARS FOR TWO PLAYERS. Obviously, with both the best player in the game, and Texas' best pitcher,the Angels are now the top-heavy favorites in the A.L. West, but that is clearly not the goal, the goal being World Series or bust.
