Take it away, Intern Bill! NL MVP: Albert
Pujols, 1B St. Louis . He wins this one
in a walk, and it’s not even close. The finest season of an already outstanding career, Pujols got on base a startling 46% of the time, second only to fellow MVP ...

Rodriguez is different. His stance begins balanced, low
and stable. But as the pitcher releases the ball,
Rodriguez starts an obtrusive attack with what I’m sure he thinks is a precise timing mechanism to generate a power surge. It isn’t and it ...

John Paciorek played one game for the Houston
Colt 45's in 1963 as an 18-year-old outfielder. He
went three for three, with two walks, four runs and three RBIs. And then back injuries hit. He never played in the Majors again and ended his professional ...

2008 was an interesting year, while no one
player stood above the rest, and there were no
historically great seasons, several players enhanced their FBHOF resumes and several more careers now hang in the balance between inductions and near misses.

With a massive 160 runs created (11.8 RC/G)
in 2008, Albert Pujols had his best season since
2003, when he had 176 RC (and 11.8 RC/G). By contrast, when he won the MVP in 2005, he had 156 RC and 9.9 RC/G. But as gargantuan as it was, was it the most ...

SOUTH GRAND — A few years, the biggest
challenge to Albert Pujols’ MVP candidacy was a slugger
in the National League East who had big numbers in home runs and RBIs, but couldn’t quite match Pujols when it came to just about ...

One thing that has always baffled me is
how baseball scouts missed on Albert Pujols . The
baffling part is not that Pujols was a 13th round pick in the 1999 amateur draft -- hey, there are quite a few late-round success stories in baseball. Jim Thome ...

Albert Pujols to the National League: How do
I lead thee? Let me count the ways. I
lead thee in the depth and breadth and height My bat can reach, to hit balls out of sight! For though I seconded in the Batting Race, I lead thee in Runs Created, Times on Base. I lead in OPS...

He thinks Ryan Howard should be NL MVP
over Albert Pujols, which is fine, as he's more
than allowed his opinion. But shouldn't there be, you know, legitimate reasons?

In a few weeks baseball will hand out

Just asking. With the Brew: 11-2, 1.65, 130.2
IP in just 17 games (!), pitches them into
the playoffs in game 162. If not CC, then who? Albert Pujols?

Don't have time for a full writeup, but
I did want to note the end of the
Cardinals' season today. It's been a great ride, for the most part, but there definitely have been some regrets, such as the beginning of September. If they'd just ...

He came oh so close last year, but
this year he got off to a huge early
lead and held it pretty much all season. Way to go Chip! Chipper Jones - .364 Albert Pujols - ..357 Matt Holliday - .321

Yeah, yeah, yeah, Captain Killjoy. Trust me, i'm
fully aware of what Manny has done with the
bat and the glove, but even his ridiculous 2 months here doesn't make him deserving of the MVP. Unfortunately for him, that distinction belongs solely to one Albert Pujols, and it's honestly...

It took over 20,000 words, the but the
FBHOF series on the Top-200 players is finally complete.
Barry Bonds, Rickey Henderson, Randy Johnson, Greg Maddux, and Alex Rodriguez all have a claim on the top spot. Who wins?

When the discussion of the best player in
baseball comes up, the conversation usually includes both Albert
Pujols and Alex Rodriguez. There are a few reasons why I think Pujols is clearly the best player in baseball ahead of A-Rod

A few notes from last night’s exciting game
at Fenway Park: Derek Jeter had trouble swinging the
bat because of his sore left hand, and he won’t play today. He hopes to play tomorrow to help Mike Mussina get his 20th win, but if he ...

Normally, I can’t stand MVP talk, but fuck
it. Given the St. Louis ownership of the blogosphere,
it has to be said. Albert is NOT your MVP. The Cardinals suck (even with Kyle Lohse!). Yeah, I know he doesn’t strike out as much as Ryan ...

The end of the Cardinals postseason hopes, that
is. The Cards were able to win a game
last night, which was a nice change of pace and guaranteed them at least a .500 record, but the Mets won as well, so the Cardinals, for 100% certain, will not ...

If there's one thing Albert Pujols does not
do on a baseball field, it's surprise people. He
puts up the same numbers every year. He's so good so often that we run out of things to say about him. His demeanor never changes. He swings, he crushes the ...
