jenbobblehead Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 he's been there as long as anyone, exept maybe wakefield, but certainly the longest everyday player. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Even with Wakefield, losing Trot would be the end of an era. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Pedro goes 5 innings and gives up 4 runs. Willie Randolph is quoted as saying this is an encouraging start for Pedro. *Sigh* World Series, here we come!!!1 Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 he's been there as long as anyone, exept maybe wakefield, but certainly the longest everyday player.And the term "every day" player is used very loosely with Trot the last 3-4 years. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Papi! MVP!Unfortunately, I think Papi ceded any MVP possibility with his mouth last week. Link to post Share on other sites

bjorn_skurj Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Both Ortiz and Howard have had great years, but I think the MVP should go to a player who contributed to their team making the postseason. (Howard's still got a shot as the Phils are right in there still.) Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 It should be Johan. And it would have properly been Hafner if he hadn't gotten hurt, although I realize that there is no chance that they actually would have given it to him. Link to post Share on other sites

bobbob1313 Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 Sour grapes, bobbob? Seeing as my team was expected to win 50 games by most of you guys (and everyone else), I'd say the last 20 wins or so have just been gravy. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 he plays more than wakefield, was what i was tryin' to say.I hear, ya. I'm a Trot fan, as well but h's been plaqued with injuries a lot the past 4 years or so and misses substantial chunks of seasons. I'd like to see a healthy Nixon play optimum games for a year, but the reality is he's injury-prone and on the down-side of his career. As much as I dig the man as a player, I'd welcome an upgrade in right field. Link to post Share on other sites

Jeez dude thats lame. A couple of weeks ago you were on here telling everyone that the Marlins had a great shot of making the playoffs and that they had a good shot at knocking the Mets out of the playoffs. Now you are back to "we only should have won 50"? Thems is sour grapes. Link to post Share on other sites
tongue-tied lightning Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Think Girardi will get the axe?http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5991660 done deal he'll coach the Cubs fo sure next year Link to post Share on other sites
MattZ Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/5991660 done deal he'll coach the Cubs fo sure next year I will never understand why sources leak shit like this before it actually happens. This only kills the morale of the team and makes Girardi a lame duck. Although it would be close to a miracle, the Marlins still have/had a shot. Why leak something like this now? Unless the bad blood is so bad that they just want to make Girardi suffer. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Yeah, he's got a very good shot at winning. But only because the media has a boner for him. He's having a great year, but he shouldn't be MVP. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Three players that should be ahead of Jeter in MVP voting. 1. Justin Morneau. 2. Frank Thomas. Have you seen that lineup? 3. Johann Santana. Link to post Share on other sites

Johann Santana. Yep, all those guys deserve it over Jeter. Here are a few more: Jermaine DyeDavid OrtizTravis Hafner (even with the injury, IMO, but yeah, I can see the argument here) Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Obviously the argument for Jeter is that he led his team to the playoffs. I figured the guys I listed were more valuable in getting their teams to the playoffs. I wanted to use the same criteria to show how silly it is. The MVP is not a Lifetime Achievement Award (LAA).
