This is the one that I'm most excited about, because I took a beating over my endorsement of Berkman. Sadly, SkyKalkman and I will forever be in the minority of those who cast their ballots for NL MVP:

Tim Lincecum | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | 1 | - | 2 |
Brian Giles | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | - | 1 | 1 |
Well, it looks like I actually was the only one to vote for Berkman. Pujols was the hands down choice (sorry Lance) and deservedly he crushed the ballot. I hope that the BWAA has enough intelligence to give it to Albert, because the man earned it.
