" I'm Bryan Webber not to talk naturally baseball awards that would please be joined by foxsports.com. Senior baseball writer Ken Rosenthal can let's start with the MVP. Has to be a no brainer right as hard look -- probable has done everything right."

" Absolutely Albert Pujols is the clear cut winner. First and home runs second in batting average third in RBIs. And the thing -- at least appreciated about pujols is his all around game. One of the top base runners in the nationally one of the top defenders at first base he has fourteen stolen bases this season. Really the only question in the National League MVP race is who finished second my bet would be Hanley Ramirez of the Marlins. Okay let's move on on like the MVP conversation there -- several out -- for the Cy Young award for you pick it. Right now I am still undecided on the Cy Young race. There are three top candidates Tim Lincecum probably the favorite right now Chris Carpenter. An Adam Wainwright. For me at the moment it's probably Lincecum versus Carpenter. Carpenter leads in ERA two point three -- two point 47. But here's the problem with -- his candidacy. -- and has thrown about thirty more innings and that's significant chunk in any season. -- the to have Wainwright who conceivably could sneak into this thing he leads the league with eighteen wins leads the league in innings pitched. Right now this is probably too close to call but Lincecum has been so dominant for most of the season. That most voters are probably thinking he's the guy. Finally Luke and -- the Cubs won last year's manager of the year award he not want to win it she would know that who would you pick the top -- The Rockies were eighteen and 30. Games under 500 when the five Clint Hurdle. Since then they are 68. In 3830. Games over 500. We talked a lot about how mid season managerial changes aren't that meaningful. This one certainly was Tracy went with Clint Barmes to second base he benched Garrett Atkins in favor of Ian Stewart and he also let up on the pitching staff. Clint Hurdle was very push -- strictly adhering to pitch counts matchups. Tracy is a little looser and overall the effect has been more aggressive successful team. Okay and we appreciate it for Ken Rosenthal I'm Bryan Webber will."
