With the East Coast media bias, I wouldn't be shocked if Holliday doesn't win it.

No biggie.. just like having one of the best fielding teams ever and not getting a gold glove.

Just like having only one Bronco in the Hall of Fame.

This is to be expected here.

If Tulo played for a NY team he would have had a much better chance.

imo this is a complete sham. I know Braun put up sick numbers considering the amount of games he playd, but Tulo played a demanding defensive position and played it incredibly well. led his team to the post-season.

No sweat. When Braun turns into the next Bob Hamelin, and Tulo into the next Ripken, maybe a handful of East Coast biased voters will rue their votes...

Nahhhhh, those asshats will probably still think Braun just didn't hit his potential while Tulo luckboxed a whole career, lol.

Wasn't crying about anything, but its definitely true. Midwest teams get jobbed on stuff like this. Only one Bronco in the Hall of Fame is a total joke. If a handful of our players were on the East Coast they woulda been in for sure. This is just expected. Same reason Holliday likely won't get MVP. I would be absolutely amazed if he did. Unless they are just clearly head and shoulders above the competition (TD back when he got MVP) there is a huge regional bias.

Also, not sure why you two implied I was crying about it. My entire post was that of complacency above. Who cares about votes like this? They aren't indicative of anything.

Maybe, but Holliday shouldn't win MVP anyway.

Then why did Morneau win MVP last year over Jeter???

And is Wisconsin located on the east coast?

Tulo shoulda won though.

Also because of the obvious Pro-Milwaukee bias in media.

I never said Braun didn't deserve it. The point of this thread was "Rockies fans are gonna be pissed", the point of my post was Colorado fans don't care because our guys don't win awards.
