:lol: I think he finally got tired of the Pirates kicking their behinds. I also like Pujols for MVP.

Seems that Pujols and Holliday haven't quit, unlike a lot of the rest of the team.
Hopefully Wainwright can get number 20 in his next start and get his Cy Young.

Voters love MVPs who get their team into the post-season, unless the statistics are so lopsided from candidate #1 to #2.
However, considering Votto and Gonzalez could split the #1 votes, Pujols could scoop the #2s and maybe a couple #1 and #3...Pujols could possibly win with the fewest #1 votes out of the three.

"I see it this way: Someone who doesn't take his team to the playoffs doesn't deserve to win the MVP." - Albert Pujols in 2006, after finishing 2nd to Ryan Howard in the MVP voting. The Phillies missed the playoffs in 2006.
As a reminder, Pujols then won the MVP in 2008 while the Cardinals finished 4th in their division. Ryan Howard led the majors in HRs and RBIs in 2008, while playing in all 162 games and leading the Phillies to a World Series title.

Paybacks a bitch.
But I agree with his original sentiment. If a player doesn't get his team to the playoffs, they shouldn't win the MVP.
But they also shouldn't give it back if it's handed to them, lol.

Dude, are you ALWAYS an *******, or just to Cardinals fans?
:lol: :lol: Hell, we might as well be excited about the possibility of a Cy Young and MVP on the team this year. With this tank job, there's no other reason to be excited.

No offense same but Waingwright is not winning the Cy Young this year either. He blew it big time with about 3 or 4 subpar performances this past 2 months.
I do believe Halladay gets it but Ubaldo could pull it out as well.

I just don't get some fans, your team was stacked and shut it down late in the season
but you are hoping your guys get a few awards? Pujols had a chance to get the cards
into the playoffs, but didn't do squat. Is hitting a few homers after the cards were
eliminated going to ease that pain?
Like Albert said, you shouldn't even sniff the MVP if you didn't help your team get into the
playoffs!

As a statistician you know that Albert Pujol's urine is more valuable than Ryan Howard.

Those are Albert Pujols' words, not mine. On August 29, 2008, the Phillies lost their 3rd in a row, falling 2 games behind first place with a 73-62 record. They went 19-8 the rest of the way, winning the division by 3 games and charging them for their postseason run. In those 27 games, Howard batted .367 with 12 HRs and 34 RBIs, to go along with a 1.286 OPS. During that same period, the Cardinals fell as many as 15.5 games back. To me, and to Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard was more deserving of the 2008 NL MVP award than Pujols.

I never said Albert wasn't great, he is and he will be in the Hall someday, well more
deserving than many who are already in, but the guy went into hiding when his ball
club needed him most. Padding your stats against the Pirates in May doesn't impress
me, beating the Reds in August and September would of, but Albert couldn't get it done.
Sometimes I question if Albert cares about the Cards, or only himself, at least I know
that Howard is all about Philly, not only the ball club but the fans and the town. To
me that is an MVP!

Are you serious? Baseball is not nor has it ever been a game of one player. It takes a team to win. Albert has always been committed to the Cardinals, the city of St Louis, etc.
So, shut the hell up and get out of Ryan Howard's ass long enough to breathe. Please NEVER post in any thread that mentions anyone besides Howard. You, of everyone on this site, has made me HATE Ryan Howard above all other players. You are an utter dipshit.
