NEW YORK -- Voids in two high-profile baseball resumes became a tad more conspicuous Monday when the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced the results of its balloting for the 2008 National League Most Valuable Player Award. Carlos Delgado didn't win the award, and the Mets continued down the Susan Lucci path, as well.

Delgado was seemingly a compelling candidate until the Mets faded in September. The first baseman placed behind eight other players, including Cardinals first baseman Albert Pujols, who won the award for the second time in four years. Delgado also came in behind runner-up Ryan Howard of the Phillies and Mets teammate David Wright, who placed seventh, in the balloting by 32 voting members -- two from each National League market -- of the BBWAA.

I can see Delgado being down there, he was not hot the whole season. Wright could have been higher but oh well.
