He deserved the award but if you look deeper into the numbers besides HR and RBIs then Pujols should have won.

 

What???? The only reason that the Phillies were in the wild card race at the end of the year was due to Howard and Utley playing out of their minds. Howard killed in September. Pujols had a great year, but his team basically collapsed in September, while the Phillies stayed in the race. Had the rest of the Central not been horrible, the Cardinals would have had an epic collapse. As it is, they won the title, but the MVP is for the regular season.

His team may have collapsed but they still made the playoffs and the Phillies did not. The reason the Cards made the playoffs is that Pujols played out of his mind during the 1st 2 months of the year and that helped them stay afloat during the rough stretch. Pujols regular season was just as good as HOward's season.

 

I didn't say howard wasn't deserving. He had a great year but I think Pujols' was a little better if you look at all the numbers.
