It's so cute when the kids make fun of stuff they don't understand. Now run on back to BBV son, grown folks is talking serious business.

like the interminable virginity you seem to crave with the passion of a burning sun? please, enlighten us some more with your captivating analysis of thousanths of decimal points

[/ QUOTE ]

Why bother? You wouldn't understand the numbers and why we are discussing them.

Interminable virginity - LOL!!!!!!!! Hilarious coming from a guy pimping his "dorky guy next door" image in a BBV circle jerk sausage fest.

I'm a big Wright fan and eagerly await the day a Met can win the MVP. But I would have voted against him this year.

He was fine in September and a beast in August. But he simply cannot avoid the taint of the collapse.

[/ QUOTE ]
So its David Wright's fault his teammates collapsed? This a very weak argument. I didn't expect David Wright to win because the BBWAA is retarded, but not voting for him because his teammates collapsed makes no sense.

As for Hanley he's very good but terribly defensively, Even if he was on a good team is defense is so bad it would pretty tough to consider him MVP.

[/ QUOTE ]

this isnt the best player award, it is the most valuable player award. THe idea is to win games, and a guy like Hanley on a team that didnt win a lot of games gets less consideration than a guy on a team that does

But i guess this doesnt answer your question does it. My ballot probably would have had Wright 2nd place behind Rollins -- mostly yes because the Phillies won the division. So i guess i am as dumb as the voters

ha ha Colorado can't win anything

this is true. His is .859. And he is a leadoff hitter.

[/ QUOTE ]

If you are going to excuse his numbers because he is a leadoff hitter, shouldn't you also punish him for having a mediocre OBP for a leadoff hitter?

[/ QUOTE ]

his .344 OBP is subpar for a leadoff man -- but he still led the league in runs scored and stole 41 bases

[/ QUOTE ]

If you lead the league in runs scored despite having a subpar OBP for a leadoff hitter, then your teammates get a lot of the credit for a) driving you home and b) getting you a ton more at bats than the average leadoff hitter.
