Um I'm sorry a triple crown is not easy to accomplish so if Pujols does it he's MVP hands down. If he doesn't then the MVP goes to Bonds.

Err... saying that you hate Bonds and are a Cards fan isn't supposed to make you unbiased, as you seem to be saying...
But as a Giants fan and as a huge fan of Bonds, I'll say Pujols will probably get the MVP if he ends the season with more HR than Bonds, regardless of the Triple Crown (but if he wins the Triple Crown, he'll obviously have more HR than Bonds.)
Yes, you can make the argument that Bonds is what makes the Giants a dominant team as opposed to a losing one, and yes, he has more intentional walks than 27 other teams, I think people are just going to look at the raw numbers and say Pujols has better numbers in the three traditional batting statistics. There's just a lot said by being the first in the league, even if there's not a lot of drop-off between 1st and 2nd.
