Now, I've made my points about Berkman's candidacy before. I think he deserves the award. And if not him, then Pujols does. And if not him, it's Hanley Ramirez.
But read Heyman's line on Berkman:
10. Lance Berkman, Astros. Houston was just a little too late to the party.
What? They mounted a fantastic run at the playoffs (incidently, however, this had little to do with Berkman, and more to do with Lee and Wigginton)! They finished ahead of Pujols and the Cardinals! What the hell do you want from him? He was clutch, he was fucking Mr. Automatic, and he was just awesome. Without Berkman, the Astros don't have a winning season, let alone a playoff run.
And Ryan Howard? He sucked the whole year! He got good just as the season ended, and that's it. Utley deserves it more than Howard.
And Francisco Rodriguez for the AL MVP? That's just idiotic. The man is an excellent reliever, but he had nowhere near the value that Maeur, Sizemore, Youkilis, etc. had to their teams.
Fuck, people are stupid.
