Pujols would have had about five MVPs by now if it weren't for Barry Bonds' 'smashing' seasons from years ago....Congratulations Albert.

I thought that Manny Ramiriz would win the MVP this year.

mannyberrios, If he had played the entire year in the National League he would have been worthy of the honor... but I'll take Albert over Manny any day.
