The Angels and NL Awards

Yesterday, the big story was about the Angels. They clinched the Al West division. At the end of the game they did a small ceremony type thing to remember Nick Adenhart. The Tigers Twins game was postponed due to rain.
It looks like Albert Pujols will win MVP. He has hit 47 home runs, 132 rbi’s, batting .328, and scored 121 times, has 181 assists, and shockingly stole 15 bases. It that doesn’t make him the most likely player to win it than nothing will.
There are 3 potentiol candidates for the NL Cy Young Award. Chris Carpenter, Adam Wainwright, and Tim Lincecum are the only players with a shot. Tim Lincecum I think has the least shot. He is only 14 and 7 with a 2.47 era. He has thrown 4 complete games, two of which were shutouts. I think it will be between the two Cardinal aces Adam Wainwright and Chris Carpenter. Adam Wainwright leads the league in wins with 19 but has lost 8 games. His era is 2.58 but has only thrown one complete game. Last but not least there is Chris Carpenter. He is 16 and 4. Amazingly le leads the league in era with 2.30. He has thrown only 3 complete games and one shutout. He also missed almost two months of the season. Imagine were he would be if he didn’t miss those two months.
