Albert Pujols: "I Was Waaahbbed!"
S
t. Louis Cardinals firstbaseman Albert Pujols, runner-up to Ryan Howard in the NL MVP vote, says only players whose teams make the playoffs should be MVP candidates.
While Pujols voices a voting practice to which some members of the Baseball Writers Association of America subscribe, he does overlook this iddy, biddy fact:
Ryan Howard's Philadelphia Phillies won more games than Pujols' Cardinals.
It's not Howard's fault -- as the voters recognized -- that Pujols and the Cardinals were in the worst division in baseball.
[By the way, there were good arguments supporting the election of either Howard of Pujols for MVP. But exluding all but essentially a half dozen players from four teams is not one of them.]
