No, he deserved to win it. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

Who Did?

A-Rod's post-season performance was hardly MVP-like.

I hope so, but I wish Theo would have stayed. I don't wanna think about it -- can only whine about one thing at a time. :biggrin:

Thump: "I hope you understand that's not how your response comes off."

My bad. But basically what I meant is this:

a.) yes, statistically A-Rod deserved to win it
b.) BUT its a joke because he's just a stat hog who couldn't hit a beach ball in the clutch (or field one, for that matter)

"On a side note, do you know how to quote people on here?"

Yes. I prefer to do it this way.

And now, TRIVIA TIME:

1. A-Rod is 1 of 4 players to win the MVP at two different positions. Who are the other three?

2. A-Rod is also 1 of 4 players to win the MVP with two different teams. Who are the other three?

No cheating, please ..

Buckeyeskickbuttocks · Nov 14, 2005

MVP is a season long award, Sush, not just a post-season award. They have a Post Season MVP award which A-Rod didn't win, if that makes you feel better...

I'd like to also say..

I TOLD YOU SO!

(not just Sush, but everyone who's read this thread. A-Rod was better in damn near all cats over the season.)

I wondered that myself. I just assumed he's always responding to multiple posters so he does it the long way.

He should be happy, Mr. Sandman got an MVP vote.:)

I'm with you but cetain people like Sloopy45 didn't want to hear it.

I'm actually surprised that the voting was that close.

It was in the AP article:
Rodriguez became the first Yankees player to win the award since Don Mattingly in 1985 and only the fourth player to win an MVP with two teams, joining Barry Bonds (Pittsburgh and San Francisco), Jimmie Foxx (Philadelphia Athletics and Red Sox) and Frank Robinson (Cincinnati and Baltimore).
A-Rod also is the fourth to win at two positions, following Detroit's Hank Greenberg (first base and left field), the St. Louis Cardinals' Stan Musial (outfield and first base) and the Milwaukee Brewers' Robin Yount (shortstop and center field).

In all honesty, it's hard for me to care this week. I've got scUM to hate on. :biggrin:
