Anaheim makes it official. Pujols done for the season

When he signed with Anagheim, who had him hitting career home rung #500 in 2014?

The author of this story was just on Joe Strauss' radio show. Doesn't exactly paint Albert in the most favorable light. But besides the Pujols part of the story, this part about Moreno caught my eye. And Max thinks Dewitt is the anti-christ.
"Since his first full year as owner of the Angels in 2004, Moreno has fired close to 40 members of the front office, baseball operations department and scouting and medical staffs. The Angels maintain a skeletal front-office staff in many areas, and one of the leanest game-day staffs in all of baseball. If someone is let go, there often is no replacement hired. Moreno is said to gouge hours from his low-paid employees."

Not to corrupt the Pujols thread, but this next story seems to highlight another point on the continuum of ownership style:

"Following that team meeting last August, the Angels finished the season on a 27-14 roll that nearly carried them into the playoffs in spite of everything. From the raw emotions came highly constructive results, one source calling it one of the best team meetings he's ever been a part of.
"Among those constructive changes, sources say, was that Pujols, who had trouble accepting early last year that some of the Angels' veterans didn't need his guidance, was a terrific teammate the rest of the season."
Am I a bad person if I admit I laughed at the part in bold?

Every once in awhile, I miss Albert ...
