Does anyone else think Albert Pujols should have won the N.L. MVP over Ryan Howard?
Aug.16, 2010 in
Slugs and Snails
Albert Pujols was on a record setting pace before his injury and the Cardinals played less than 500 ball without him in the 16 or so games he missed and then came back injured. He still posted over 49 homers, 137 RBI’S, and a .331 avg. Not to mention he not only carried his team to the playoffs but also a World Series victory. While Howard had a good year, his team didn’t even win a wild card spot in the playoffs and he struck out 181 times to Pujols 50 times. And as for well, Howard was a better slugger. Uh, no. Pujols had a higher slugging percentage too, tops in the league.

Does anyone give a hairy rat’s patoot? This is BASEBALL… THE most boring game ever invented… 5 seconds of ‘action’, followed by 90 seconds of spitting, butt-scratching, cup re-adjustment, addressing the plate… oh, wait, back off… 90 more seconds of spitting, butt-scratching and cup readjustment. “Here’s the pitch… low and outside… ball two.” YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET A LIFE – THIS IS BASEBALL!!! Does anyone even WATCH this crap anymore???

I thought Pujols had the edge. But after he lost and whined and complained so much, I’m glad he lost. Pujols needs to act like a man and keep his mouth shut. He’s a pro and should act like one.

Carried his team??? The Cards almost blew it due to the worst slump in baseball this year!!…. Postseason doesn’t matter because the votes are cast before the playoffs…. AND THE PHILLIES WON MORE GAMES THAN THE CARDINALS!!!! It’s to bad everyone is horrible in the cards division!! Howard was under soo much critizium the whole year to live up to Jim Thome’s previous career and he out did him and had the best NON-STERIOD home run season in the last 50 years…He also led the Phillies when they needed him after they traded away their team and decided not to contend till 2008… The Cards did have the worst slump in baseball this year that almost costs them their playoff spot… ALSO the phillies only have one other player, Chase Utley, who is actually worth a starting job anywhere else in the league… AP also had a protection bat behind him in Edmonds so he isn’t more than half the time……. who cares HOWARD won anyway!!

His team made the playoffs so that counts for something. The votes are actually cast the day of the playoffs starting so getting there does matter. As said before if he didn’t whine so much it would have made me sympathize more. But while he did get his team to the playoffs they didn’t have a very good record and only made it because the NL sucks.
