Wiggles Singer Leaves the Kiddie Band
Greg Page, the lead vocalist for The Wiggles, has left the band for medical reasons. I have to admit, that I found watching the Wiggles with my son, (my daughter never got into anything but Elmo and Mickey Mouse) was quite entertaining. The songs were catchy and the shows had a good deal of content which an adult can relate to and discuss with their children. They were a much better alternative to Barney and the teletubbies.

Albert Pujols thinks the MVP should only be awarded to players on a playoff teams

"I see it this way: Someone who doesn't take his team to the playoffs doesn't deserve to win the MVP," - Albert Pujols

This is by far the stupidest and least educated quotes I have seen in a long time. Don't get me wrong, I generally like Albert, I think he is the best player in the major league today. He may or may not have deserved this award this year. I believe that Ryan Howard had an outstanding year and was equally deserving (having actually won the NL MVP) keeping the Phillies in contention seemingly single-handedly most of the year and challenging the HR record for a portion of the season. However, saying that the MVP has to come from a playoff team is ignorant, since it is supposed to be a measure of how much value did that player add to that team, and how much worse would that team had been without that player. A last place team should not have the MVP (see AROD 2003 in Texas), since they would still be a last place team without that player. But I believe the Phillies would have been much worse of without Howard therefore he is deserving of the NL MVP, regardless that his team did not make the playoffs.
