Albert Pujols plans to proffer an apology for picking a fight with a Phillies first baseman about the MVP. If Pujols picked fairly few fights with Phillies first basemen, how many apologies does Albert Pujols plan to proffer to the MVP?
In some ways, I feel for the players. When they offer canned, PR-approved quotes, they are criticized for not speaking their minds, or for not being 'real' (coughA-Rodcough).
But then, when a player does speak his mind, they are criticized for doing so.
Something tells me Ryan Howard doesn't give a damn what Albert thinks about who should and who shouldn't win the MVP. I don't know why anyone cares, honestly.
Pujols owes an apology to more than just Howard. Even since the advent of the wild card, there have been a few others that have won the MVP besides Howard without making the playoffs that year:
Barry Bonds (2001, 2004)
Alex Rodriguez (2003)
Larry Walker (1997)
Dang, I got gypped...
Just shut up.
Thanks!

He should know better
Barry Bonds (2001, 2004)
Alex Rodriguez (2003)
Larry Walker (1997)
WHats with this society that forces everyone to apologize. Obviously he thinks he should have won. He shouldnt feel sorry for it.
Stick by your opinion, Albie.
