someone is giving those out? dang it I miss the good stuff

haha that was the joke, I actually know the Dugger family really well, Jake is a heck of a kid and athlete, he was a great running back in high school, Im impressed you know who he is, you must follow college baseball quite a bit, its my fav thing in sports

same year as Tom Pagnozzi and Jake Dugger

Carl Everett broke that up right? I do remember that game very well as I was in college and not interested in whatever work I had to do, Mussina was amazing that night how about HOF for.... -Pedro Martinez -Curt Schilling -Frank Thomas ????

tough call, the 20 win season in 2008 helps him but it was his only one, he did have three 18 win seasons and two 19 win seasons though, lets say he wins 20 those years that would give him six 20 win seasons and if he had six 20 win seasons he would be a first ballot HOF, tough to leave a guy out of the HOF cuz of only 8 wins especially since he played for some bad teams in his career I have always really liked Mussina so I hope he makes it, he was a great pitcher and probably deserves it but I think he will just miss out, nothing really sets Mussina apart either way, very solid and consis

Being in the show obviously isnt easy, only 750 people get to do it at one time, but that being said second base isnt full of amazing athletes

that should be a win for the Hogs, what a terrible hire by A&M.....Mike Sherman? WTF?!? Heck, Bill Callahan would have been a better hire. The Hogs should be better with Ryan Mallet next year

Texas should be loaded and really good....imagine that Fam in Dallas and Sister and bro in law are Cowboy season ticket holders, I might have to see if I can get down there for that, the new stadium looks insane

and Vaughn had a much better year than Albert Belle or Edgar Martinez in 1995

Mets should sign David Eckstein to play second base, he is a winner and would be a good fit

second base is probably the easiest position in baseball, thats just my humble opinion and that was my position in HS so I do love the position I stand by Mauer being the MVP, thats not anti Pedroia (he would have been 2nd or 3rd on my list with Youk the other suspect) Im just pro Mauer, what he did with that staff was incredible when they were picked last this year by just about everyone and he won the batting title at the most physically demanding position by far in baseball, before Mauer I believe the last catcher to win a batting title was Joe Torre in the 70's and Mauer has now won it t

Keith Hernandez is ok but he makes you help him move

without looking too much into it .....Puckett should have won in 1987 over George Bell, and Gwynn over Ryne Sandberg in 1984

spare me barry bonds?

you had me until "one of the best", Texa$ should make the BCS every year, Mack brown is just ok considering what he gets to work with year in and year out, I mean one Big 12 title in 11 years? Hell, Frank Solich and Gary Barnett won a Big 12 titles

Albert Belle got robbed in 1995 of the AL MVP award, he had 50 homers, 50 doubles, .317 average, .401 OBP, and a 1091 OPS and he didnt win the MVP? It was one of the biggest pooch screws ever when it comes to MVP, I dont know maybe if he had better character and disposition he would have won? who knows

This question is for anyone who doesnt think it helps you to play in a big market when it comes to the MVP award..... someone explain how Kirby Puckett, Tony Gwynn, and Paul Molitor never won an MVP? So you dont think being a Yankee or Red Sock, or Dodger or even Cub or White Sock would have helped? How many casual fans even know who Joe Mauer, Josh Hamilton, and Ryan Braun are?

Muschamp the next head coach at Texa$ huh? Sure good DC but OU and Tech really had their ways with UT's defense this year, he has done ok but not that great, Im not sure what I would think of this if I was wearing burnt orange, not that the head coach for a program like Texa$ or U$C matters that much, those teams should make the BCS every year no excuses, heck their second stringers are probably ranked in the high teens right now, Muschamp will probably have to stop head butting players when he becomes the head coach....right? I laughed when I saw the words trauma and coaching search when i

playing in a big market and for a glamorous team (Red Sox, Yankees) that the media is constantly performing fellatio on helps a lot when it comes to individual awards, after all its the media that is handing out the award, if Joe Mauer and Josh Hamilton played in Boston and New York they would have finished higher...... do you not think so? I mean do you think if Kirby Puckett played in New York or Boston or Chicago he would have won an MVP? If not well agree to disagree I guess, sometimes you just got to say when in Rome, go Saux I guess

character? disposition? Who cares, Im not saying it doesnt matter but as far as the MVP who cares its not an issue The Red Sox were supposed to be good and Pedroia hits in front or Big Papi, Youk, and for most of the season Manny....The Twins were picked last by just about everyone, they traded Johan Santana and Liriano was hurt for most of the year, Mauer did an amazing job with that young- inexperienced pitching staff and won the batting title, he for sure has an arguement over Pedroia, but yes the BBWA have spoken, they are wrong but they have spoken Pujols even said himself the M

Pedoria is more valuable than Joe Mauer? I dont buy that Agreed Pujols is the best player, I dont like the Cards but he is by far the best, his numbers are sick and if he retired today he would probably still be a hall of famer

As a die hard Lions fan I liked that one, I miss 9-7 seasons at this point

kind of a watered down MVP race in the NL this year, hard to find a clear cut favorite In the AL you have Pedroia, Youkilis, Joe Mauer, and Josh Hamilton who all deserve some votes

Boulevard Wheat

they throw hard but is their movement and do they have a secondary pitch? Or are they Kyle Farnsworthish?
