pooholes again... please stop while i still appreciate you
Albert Pujols is upset he lost out to
Philadelphia's Ryan Howard for the National League MVP award,
saying the honor should go to someone on a playoff team.
oh god shut up plz. this year has shown the birth of spoiled aathlete pooholes. i liked the guy, but the more you hear, he is becoming arod/bonds material. ugh. please, i sitll like you... but you didnt carry your team to the playoffs, first off you missed a bunch of games, secondly, you didnt do shit in the postseason.....howard deserved it by far.
your life is an occasion, rise to it.

Re: pooholes again... please stop while i still appreciate you
i agree with pujols and i think he deserved to win over howard, personally. yaeh he missed lots of games and look at his numbers. they are as high as howard's with a better average even though he missed 3 weeks. and not to mention with all the other injuries they had (rolen, edmonds, etc etc), they still made the playoffs (i'm still dying that the astros just barely missed out).
i think more often than not a post season player should win, but that wouldn't help pujols' case because you're right sean, he didn't do shit in the post. tough call.
Should I fuck you at that not until the ass, inject then tremendously hard bumschen and to the termination in the eyes yes?
Re: pooholes again... please stop while i still appreciate you
I agree with Pujols too. IF you look past the shiney stats, he was far and away the better player.
Poo V How
— If you want to use the more traditional statistics, Pujols was the only hitter in the NL to finish in the top five in average (3rd), homers (2nd), RBIs (2nd), runs (5th), on-base percentage (1st), slugging percentage (1st), and batting average with runners in scoring position (1st).
— If you want to use sabermetrics, Pujols was first in the NL in Value Over Replacement, first in Win Shares, first in Equivalent Average, first in Runs Created, first in Win Probability Added.
— If you want to zero in on clutch hitting, Pujols led the NL with a .397 batting average with runners in scoring position. Howard ranked 51st in the NL with a .256 average with runners in scoring position. With runners in scoring position and two out, Pujols hit a preposterous .435. Howard batted .247.
— If you want to downgrade Pujols because the Cardinals struggled in September, then I would simply ask why this should be held against him. In the final month, Pujols batted .372 with 10 homers and 28 RBIs. In the final week of the regular season, Pujols batted .370 with four homers and eight RBIs. And if I'm not mistaken, Philadelphia was in strong position to win the wild card, only to go 3-4 in the final week.
— Pujols was the NL's best defensive first baseman. In the Baseball Prospectus defensive-rating stat, Fielding Runs Above Replacement, Pujols was a plus 25. Howard was a minus 5.
— Pujols finished eighth in the NL in extra bases taken as a runner; he would have rated even higher on the chart had he not missed nearly three weeks with a strained oblique.
— If you want to say that Howard "carried" the Phillies' lineup, then I must simply ask why is it that two of Howard's lineup mates received MVP votes? Philly second baseman Chase Utley finished eighth overall in the voting and was named on 26 of 32 ballots. Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins also received a ninth-place vote. No other Cardinals position player received a vote. So how can anyone possibly argue that Howard carried the Phillies more than Pujols carried the injury-ravaged Cardinals?
— Pujols hit 49 homers and drove in 137 runs. Howard is the undisputed HR champion, and we salute him. But what about RBIs? The voters love RBIs. And Howard had 149 RBIs, 12 more than Pujols. But let's look beneath the surface numbers. Howard had more RBIs than Pujols for an obvious reason: He had more RBI opportunities. Howard had 358 plate appearances with runners on base; Pujols had 301 plate appearances with runners on base. The Phillies had 509 runners on base for Howard's at-bats; the Cardinals had 429 runners on base for Pujols' at-bats. Howard had 164 at-bats with runners in scoring position; Pujols had 126 at-bats with runners in scoring position. And despite having 38 fewer at bats in those situations, Pujols actually drove in more runs than Howard, 88-83.
Re: pooholes again... please stop while i still appreciate you
no way, the phillies wrote off the season, trading away 3 of the bigger players they had, and a starter, and suddenly howard and utley carried the team. he was more valuable to them than albert was to st lou. they were in contention for the wildcard until the very last weekend as well in a division with the mets who wrecked the NL for most of the season (but lost! hahahahahah).
if these stupid stat whores want to get awards, tell them to talk to a company to sponsor a ''best offensive player in homers" award.
