What a little bitch

1. The Phils won more regular season games than the Cards, sorry we didn't get to play in a crappier division
2. The Cards have more talent, how is that Howard's fault

Brad Wilkerson would be okay. He would fit in nicely with the average to mediocre 5-8 the Phillies have. But he destroys the Phillies, so I guess putting him in red pinstripes=good.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Quote from: PhillyPhreak54 on November 29, 2006, 07:14:38 PMI was the bat boy for a few games that spring when Piazza was playing a PHS. My cousin was on the team. Piazza pitched and played 1st. His brother played SS, my cousin played C and they had a guy named Creighton Gubanich who hit a GS in his first ML AB with Boston playing LF. I was like 8 or 9 that year. You all care.

I went to PHS for a half semester my junior year and had a couple classes with Mike's younger brother, Tony.  He was kind of a douche, not very athletic from what I remember but thought he was the shtein because he was Piazza's younger bro and got to be a bat boy anytime the Dodgers were in town.  The sad part about it though is that he's still probably riding Mike's coat tails and picking up the snatch that Mike doesn't have time for.

Don't act like you wouldn't take that.

It is based on regular season numbers and worth, and it is difficult to argue that anyone was more valuable than Ryan Howard during the 2nd half of the season.

If Howard didn't put up those monster numbers, then I don't even want to know where the Phils would be.

Plus, when Ryan Howard hits a HR, he hits one in the clutch. Many of his HRs in the 2nd half either tied the game for the Phils or put them ahead. That is the epitome of an MVP-caliber player.

Pujols can suck on a chode.

Pujols:  waaaah.....I should have been MVP

I guess winning a World Series wasn't enough. I'm sure Howard would of traded the Mvp for a WS ring.

I wonder if he will be boo'd or picked on when they come to philly next season? :)

Weren't you born in Philly? Everyone is boo'able. There are no exceptions.

ice grillin you

he can be booed and i would boo him...im just saying he one of the least booable people around and i wouldnt do it just because he thinks the mvp should be on a playoff team

Charitable work aside, he'll be boo'd because he can't just say congrats to Howard and move on. There will be one constant boo from the time Rolen comes to the on deck circle till the time Pujols's AB is through. I can't wait. I thought Dykstra was robbed of an MVP award in 93' when it went to Bonds but the Phils went to the WS, I might be wrong but I don't remember him whining this much over it.

ice grillin you

i didnt say he wouldnt be booed...im saying i personally wont even remember him not congratualting howard next tuesday much less next summer and i wouldnt boo him

hes one of my favorite athletes
