Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard has been selected as the Sharp Presents the National League Player of the Month for August. It is Howard's fourth career monthly award.
Howard batted .299 (32-for-107) with six doubles, one triple and 18 runs scored. He led the NL with 11 home runs and tied for the Major League lead with American League Player of Month Kendry Morales of the Angels at 33 RBIs for August.
Entering Thursday night's game against the Giants in Philadelphia, the 2006 NL Most Valuable Player has 214 career home runs, four shy of gaining sole possession of sixth place on the club's all-time list.
Overall, Howard is hitting .275 with 37 home runs, ranking him fourth in the Majors, and has already achieved a career-high 31 doubles and five stolen bases.

Howard putting together another nice solid productive season - perhaps this will help quiet the Ryan Howard / Phillies bashers.
i just think hes not even in the same league with Pujols
his strike judgement and plate discipline are embarassing for a major leaguer....
yes howard is a nice guy, but he is no way deserving of an MVP (ever ) especially when he is not the MVP of his team

Thank God that other Phills fan isn't around any more or we'd have to read a post that says, "Who is better, Howard or Mantle?"
LOL

Pujols was having a monster year, and that's not debatable, but Pujols has leveled off a little bit, and while Pujols is still having a great season, Howard is close to catching Pujols in RBI production, which in my opinion regardless of the circumstances or other stats, RBI's are the most important offensive stat for a power hitter.
By the way, why did Mr Stalin get the ax?
