So the National League MVP was announced today. They (whoever ‘they’ are) have, in their infinite wisdom, somehow decided that Albert Pujols was more deserving than Andruw Jones.
My lovely wife, upon hearing the news, had this to say: “@#$%^ &*&^% $#$% ^&%^$ #$%^&, those dirty &$&**&”.

My dear friend, Chaundra is having a birthday today. Happy Birthday, Chaun!
