"Deidre Pujols, wife of former Cardinals slugger Albert Pujols, appeared on Joy FM (99.1) in St. Louis this morning to share what she termed the Pujols' "side of the story" concerning Albert's departure from the Cardinals and how he ended up signing with the Los Angeles Angels.

Pujols took issue with many things that have been reported concerning contract offers that were made by the Cardinals, and said she has also been surprised at the vehement response to the family's decision to move on.

"The devil has overplayed his hand because I have Christian folk trying to throw the Word in my face," Pujols said.

She also said it was difficult to understand how folks who had supported Albert Pujols for so long were now wanting to burn his jerseys."
