Hey Ryan Howard, how does it feel winning your 2nd MVP despite having a horrible Batting average, playing horrible defense, and the worst offensive performance by a 1st baseman to win the MVP ever?

Ryan Howard: If Albert Pujols wanted to win the MVP, he should have pitched his team into the playoffs.

Hey Anon, how does it feel losing the world series when all of the national guys and philly haters across the country all picked the Rays to win?

So you think a guy who posted the worst offensive year for a 1st baseman should win MVP. Okay, sure.

Carlos Pena: .871 OPS this year
Ryan Howard: .881 OPS this year.

'Much better'? Ryan Howard only had .010 better in OPS!

Also, Carlos Pena can actually play defense.

I am sick of all this OPS crap.

What REALLY matters is that Howard hits a ton of HR's and he drives in a ton of runs. The majority of teams in the league would kill to have Howard as their first baseman.

Howard is a Platoon Player. Hes the greatest Platoon player ever, and they should use him as such.

He would see his strikeouts drop proportionally to at bats, while his average would be average at worst, rather then laughable at best.

No, he wouldn't be winning MVPs (he shouldnt anyway) but the team and he would be better for it. He needs to get his ass over to a Smart AL team and laugh when he would be unstoppable. How often can you say a hitter would be better in the AL?

If Ryan Howard played SS he'd be almost as good as Furcal.

I hope you pass your advice on to Charlie Manuel. I'm sure he will keep it in mind next year when they are trying to repeat their WS.

In a week, Platoon Player at Best Ryan Howard will be polishing his World Series ring while you are masturbating to shota.

I wish 4chan could use some rationality, but no one will.

Ryan Howard will win MVP. He won't deserve it, he's 2nd best to Pujols... but the Phillies made the playoffs, the Cardinals didn't. To the people who vote, that matters, trust me. They care about that, and Ryan Howard carried his team on his back into the playoffs in September. That matters more than the shitty numbers he put up in the early season. It's stupid, yes, but that's the way it is. More guys vote on that reason than anything else.

As for Ryan being a Platoon Player. He had one "mediocre" season and that was this year. You wanna talk about stats?

2006: .313 ba, 58 hr, 149 rbi, 181 so
2007: .268 ba, 47 hr, 136 rbi, 199 so (in 144 games)
2008: .251 ba, 48 hr, 146 rbi, 199 so (in 162 games)

besides the .ba his stats were better than last year. find me a player on your team who is hitting at least 47 hr's and 136 rbi's each year. Go ahead, find one for me. You can't. Platoon player my fucking ass.
