KUDOS TO YET ANOTHER FLYING CHAUCER AWARD RECIPIENT---MR. PUJOLS

Two of the big three end of year awards deservedly went to the St' Louis Cardinals. The third, manager of the year should have. But I know that Tony would rather have Carpenter and Pujols pick up the hardware than he. In MVRL history, I'm sure I'm not the sole owner who's captured both Cy and MVP Awards. I figure Scott, Derek or Ryan will know.

Now about the other Pietsch. Troy, my man, whatchu thinking? Jonesy was overrated by the writers, Third, maybe, but how did he beat out Lee? When he hits for a better average, in fact, much better average than .263 then we'll talk about it. And .207 with men in scoring position? Come back when you grow up Andrew.

And Lee, a former Chaucer, had a phenomenal year. Not quite Pujolsian, but he deserved second place. He was torrid. He could challenge for MVP for some time. And yes, he would make a great Chaucer.

The Rookie of the Year Award went to yet another St. Louie guy, Ryan Howard (I told you he was a stud, Wes) who plays for the wrong team . Willy Taveras appropriately finished a close second.

It was a great St. Louis year. Until the playoffs. Again. Time to re-tinker, re-tool, re-capture that NL flag. And win one more series for the Cardinals.
