See that "sources" claim the Cardinals and Phillies discussed a Pujols for Howard trade?? Ummm...WHAT?!?! Fans would be justified in burning down Busch Stadium III if they did that! [3] Too bad..

They even cut away during the game to interview a ticket rep about their luxury suites! It may have been the most annoying baseball broadcast I've ever seen.
