A Postseason Look at NL MVP Candidates
I wanted to open an unbiased discussion of the postseason performance of the National League MVP candidates.
Barry Bonds
With his family at Disney World
Sammy Sosa
At home dreaming about next year
Luis Gonzalez
At Bats: 7
Hits: 0
Runs: 0
RBI: 0
HR: 0
Strikeouts: 2
Avg: .000
Albert Pujols
At Bats: 7
Hits: 2
Runs: 1
RBI: 2
HR: 1
Strikeouts: 2
Avg: .286
So who's the most valuable player of the NL MVP candidates now?

NL MVP is for the MVP of the NL, not the MVP of two games.
btw, a .000 or .286 batting average is not MVP caliber. i'd rather take BB or SS at zero plate appearances over those pathetic numbers.

look at the last week of the season in crunch time....
Astros whoop Cards, Giants whoop Astros, ergo, Giants would whoop Cards....
Too bad they are in a tougher division...
anyone that thinks bonds doesn't deserve the MVP must have gotten brushed off when requesting an interview.
Bonds had the best year of the century....nuff said..

well in that case.. maybe we should wait two weeks.. and if the cards or arizona dont make it to the world series.. we will do a comparison of how the MVP candidates are doing at that time..
its completely ridiculous to even try looking at it this way..
I guess it follows right along that logic of thinking that if your team wins a game against the team with the best record, then it makes you the best.
so I guess right now.. Cleveland is the best team in baseball? correct?

Re: A Postseason Look at NL MVP Candidates
"With his family at Disney World" and "At home dreaming about next year" is a much better performance than "Avg: .000" or "Avg: .286"

And Houston's the worst team in baseball with 0-2, followed by Seattle & St. Louis at 0-1.
Or you can just

All I'm doing is looking at how the MVP candidates are doing now. Sure, it's a bit early, but still interesting.

I guess you could say that. Or you could say that Matt Morris, Woody Williams, Curt Schilling, and Randy Johnson are better pitchers than Mickey, Goofy, and the sheep Sammy's counting.

AndyCapps: You're a Grade A moron. You have absolutely no understanding of the game of baseball apart from Cardinals performance. I often disagree with others (i.e. deftones, c-man2,namja) here regarding baseball topics such as MVP, best team, etc...but at least these people actually comprehend the game and thus can hold a conversation. You, on the other hand, should just change your Mark McGwire underwear and Albert Pujols pajamas, put on some proper attire, go to the Baseball Clue Store, and tell the clerk you would like to purchase one or maybe even two non-Cards related ones.

. Sure, I am not in touch with reality, but life is more fun this way.Edit: I actually take "You have absolutely no understanding of the game of baseball apart from Cardinals performance." as a compliment. So thanks.
