I like the Cubs and Trout should have been MVP. The Triple Crown is some arbitrary thing that a writer made up 100 years ago. What if he decided the Triple Crown should be HR, BA and SB? RBIs are totally dependent on who bats in front of you. Trout led off for most of that season as I remember.
Yup. Thanks for quoting Brand, he's on ignore for me but your response was correct. I guess the other guys that voted for Trout were "homers". He's the all around best player in baseball, which also makes him the most VALUABLE player in baseball. Run, hit, throw, play defense. That = value whether he is in the batter's box, playing center field, running the bases. They should rename the award.
Agreed. It wasn't retaliation... that was just a convenient cover for the fact that Gibson just plain doesn't like Braun.
Benches cleared over some unintentional stuff yesterday in the cubs reds game. Just so everyone can make note of it.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
So, we should keep the nickname defined as a racial slur and change MVP award to the Greg Luzinski award because your guy didn't get it.
We should keep Redskins because over 70% of Native Americans don't have an issue with it, and it is a private business in which a private business can do whatever the hell it wants.
What could possibly be wrong with a derogatory name for a people against whom we committed genocide so we could steal their land?The ultimate sin is that Snyder and the NFL think the name belongs to them - as long as the suffering of the "Redskins" can be used for profit. Americans who support these types of epitaphs should be embarrasses and ashamed.
I would love to have seen Mike Trout against that AL Central pitching staffs two years ago and with Prince Fielder hitting behind him and in a stadium that doesn't kill baseballs like California stadiums do.
Comerica Park is a pitcher's park.
Hahaha Cards fans blaming Lucroy for Wainwright sucking. Absolutely hilarious. Hey Cards fans, blame your own manager for playing favorites and starting Wainwright over the guy who really deserved to start (Kershaw). And while you're at it, thank Lucroy for getting Wainwright off the hook for the loss. Too had your own other pitcher had to take the loss. That must've been Lucroy's fault too, from the bench. Awesome.
Seriously, who cares?
Here's the thing. Individually, Cardinals' fans are some of the nicest people I have met. I have been to Cardinals games in at least three ballparks, and I can't say I have had a bad experience with a single one of them.But collectively they can be so annoying.I'm wondering if that's how the Packer fan base is viewed?
