Howard had a difficult playoffs (though he did hit well.. just no homers and noone decided to get on base for him) and had a terrible last at bat.. but he is NO way a choke artist. Ryan "Just Get me to the plate Boys" Howard and "choke artist" shouldnt be mentioned in the same breath.

I thought he meant Halladay for a second. It would help if he didn't feel the need to abbreviate every name of every person.

Giants pitched great. I was surprised that Texas was so inept against them. Funny that SF could easily finish last in the NL west next season.

I did at first also, the "went down swinging" part assured it was Howard

Somehow don't think people will mistake RH for RJ ("Mr. October") at this point…

He's great, but he strikes out too much and you can't end your team's season with the bat on your shoulder. It's gonna be a while until he lives that down. Carlos Beltran still hasn't lived his backwards K from 2006 down and he took a much filthier pitch than Howard did.

that was terrible of him to watch that ball go by.

Philly fans can have problems with anything. So of course they will have a problem with Howard & his contract.

But the guy has been as productive as can be, he's a good leader, and he often comes up big when we need him. Is there any other player you'd want in the month of September not named Albert?

Howard is the man.
