Ryan Howard will be the NL's MVP

cadillacman · Aug 3, 2006

Sorry Albert, but you have not been the same since your return from injury imo....your striking out too much and the hits and rbi just havn't been there.

Nobody in the NL is better than this guy. But Albert will probably win b/c his team will squeak into the playoffs and b/c of all his early season numbers....

passingthewind · Aug 3, 2006

Yeah after this series.

cadillacman · Aug 3, 2006

this is the first time I've watched them side by side and he is just better than Albert. Period.

Vyrus858 · Aug 4, 2006

guys come on, Ryan Howard is the next big thing...but are you kidding me...Albert out for 20 plus games and STILL LEADS THE LEAGUE IN HRs and RBI's when he comes back...that is RIDICULOUS...Albert bats .330+ day in day out, and hits home runs like Howard, but base hits like Utley...he pound for pound is the best player in the world...Howard is a close 2nd/3rd, but maybe the hottest player now

Pujols is a good bit better than howard.

Why not Beltran?

If He gets them the Wildcard, well maybe... :103631605

Had Pujols not missed 20+ games he may be leading the homerun race by 10 or so..... He is the most intimidating hitter to pitch too right now. He makes Bonds look like Mookie Wilson and Ryan Howard like Sammy Sosa in the single season homerun race in '98 with Juice monkey

LOL...

Pujols is striking out too much eh?

LOL...

Pujols has struck out 31 times this season...he has NEVER struck out over 100 times...and only came close to that once with 93 in his 1st season.

Howard has struck out 120 times this season...compare that to the 100 K's he complied last year when he played in 88 games.

Howard is a fine player.

He is not even close to touching #5.

Pujols has been playing with an injured elbow that is not getting any better. He is hurting...and it is hurting him in the box.

Howard will not win the MVP award.

Mvp, Mvp, Mvp

cadillacman · Sep 3, 2006

Tim Hudson is really helping his case.

gtc08 · Sep 3, 2006

pujols is better all around. howard is a way better power hitter. howard gets the nod, pujols missed time and i like howard's numbers more.

PublicsMoney · Sep 3, 2006

Going for his 4th Homerun today, right now.

FatTony · Sep 3, 2006

I want to know the record for HR's in a day.

It is a doubleheader you know.

arty:

cadillacman · Sep 3, 2006

Albert has just launhced his 3rd on the day too

cadillacman · Sep 9, 2006

56 home runs, a batting average of around .300, a ton of rbi, and his team in the playoff race....a superfecta that equals MVP :dancefool
