So tell us how you really feel.

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

OK, getting back on track here...


besides playoffs, what is everyone's thoughts on the MVP, Cy Young, coach of the year?

I'm not trying to just from my team here, lol, but:

Cy Young: Chris Carpenter - top three in the three pitching categories that matter: Strikeouts, ERA, Wins, plus he gets a point for division lead. Anyone that picks Clemmons needs a head slap imo.

MVP: Pujols. Man, he should have already won it at least once, but with Bonds being out, i figure he's gotta get it this year. My only worry, Andrew Jones. If AJ got it over Pujols, i probably wouldn't be that pissed, because that guy is a bad ass fielder, and his bat is freaking amazing. He's got HR's and RBI's, but he's not hitting for percentage, and Pujols is near the top in all three. Tough choice for MVP this year, i'm just glad Bonds isn't in the running.

[Jibgolly]

fuck bonds. i wouldnt mind seeing poo holes win it. and even though i reside in ATL i dont root for the braves, so i dont care if andruw jones wins it or not.
and as for pitching, i can see Carpenter winning it this year. the ESPN guys (around the horn, sportcenter, PTI) all talk about this guy like they wanna juice his nutsack.

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

ok for starters can a moderator block that fuck ball bart smastard from this thread or whatever his retarded name is..

ok to answer your question Jenks i would say:

MVP- Andrew Jones (has to be he is amazing)
Cy - Probably will go to Carpenter (feel good story)

You know I sat next to a girl yesterday at the Lions Game in Detroit who fucking really hated me because I was Canadian. Then I told her that I was gonna save her country with my idea and she really didn't know what to say. I mean she fukin hated me. What is the deal with you Yanks, we don't go to one war with you but send 3 ships to New Orleans to save your yankee refugees and that isn't enough. Why do you guys hate so much??actually don't talk about it here start a new thread. but that is my 2 cents.

The game is sport that not only involves the best combination of power, finesse, and the quickest hand eye co-ordination of any sport, but like all sports also involves a passion and a comradery that cannot be felt by reading about it or by simply watching it on television. Baseball, like all sports is not just a game between two seperate teams but is a game represented and fueled by small battles, man vs man (pitcher vs hitter) and men vs men (fielders vs runners).
Yes the premise of the game is one man pitching a ball and another hitting it but really each pitch the pitcher throws is calculated and it is more like a mind game and chess between two men, one with a wooden bat (a wood bat that has rarely changed with technology) and another with a hard round ball with seams. (another that has rarely changed with technology). But unlike a calculation with an perfect answer, a pitchers calculation in what he throws to a hitter, has the ever so slight human error attached to every toss. Combine that element with the huge amount of human error involved when a man swings a piece of wood in hopes to hit a small ball with not only perfect accuracy but perfect timing. These elements human error makes the game what it is, not just the basics, and really thats just the basics.

It isnt one man "throwing" a ball, it is one man directing a ball with incredible power at incredible speeds and making the ball go wherever he wants it to go and move however he wants it to. Far more complex than a "throw". It is the only game that is so difficult, that being able to hit 30% of the time it is considered great.

This is just the beginning, but I know you dont understand bart simpson, because by your comments it is easy to see that you sit there and judge without even putting any elements of this together.

I dont care if you dont understand or if you even hate baseball for that matter, but why make an ignorant statement about something you obviously know nothing about?

The way you so ignorantly decribed a game that has existed for over one hundred years is like descibing a dj as someone who simply plays one song after another, a very self centred and unknowledgable way to make a point.

Thats why your an idiot, because you cant keep your uninformed comments about things you dont understand to yourself.

I can't really speak for the girl, but personally, i'm just giving you shit like i have since day one of this board, and vice versa. I don't hate canadians. You're quasi french, but i live in the midwest u s of A...so, at opposite ends of the spectrum, we're probably going to butt heads on a few things: doesn't mean it's personal. I'd say that woman that hated you because you're French, er, Canadian, is a freaking moron tbh, so piss on her.

But the Cards rule, and that's our religion in this city, and talk bad about that, and canadian or not, you're going to hear some smack.

Why i think Andrew Jones shouldn't get MVP: Because Pujols deserves it for what he's done this year and every year he's been in the majors to this day. A lot of people know he was robbed by bonds for MVP, especially when Pujols had better numbers across the board than Bonds. Pujols, at this point in his career, has record breaking stats in just about every category. If Bonds got the MVP in years past based on his name and what he's accomplished (which clearly i think that was the case,) then imo, you gotta give it to Pujols this year. Pay up. No disrespect to Jones, that guy is a machine, but MLB owes that freak Pujols a trophy imo. Just my .02 on the MVP.

I'll say this tho, Jones is the probably the best outfielder in baseball. He's sniping people down at home plate on the fly. The ball doesn't even come close to touching the ground from the outfield to home plate. He's trowing a rope, and it's accurate. That's sick.

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

thank you platinum for the in-depth look at the game of baseball..
that being said jenks I agree with the things that you say but I still think Jones will win MVP.. he is having a better season then Puljos.. You can't give a player with worse numbers the MVP because he has been robbed in previous years because someone was hitting 70 homeruns..

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

AL stylings.

CY Young should go to rivera. but i dont think he'll get it.
Manny will get AL MVP, they wont give it to AROD or Vlad. and ortiz wont get it, DH's never get it.
the Clemmins debate is a good one. he is the best pitcher out there, but the team isnt doing it for him.

giambi will get the comeback player(god i hope he isnt on juice again)

and as for bonds, give him the walk record. please give him the walk record. NO ONE PITCH TO HIM> just hit him or walk him. when he breaks ruth's record, i hope he has to do it in NY against the mets, so NY'ers can throw everything that isnt screwed down at his lying ass. sych a scumbag..

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

. You can't give a player with worse numbers the MVP

Why not, that was the case for Bonds twice.

Plus, i don't think Pujols has worse numbers than Jones. 10 more HR's is hard to argue with. But Jones isn't the complete player Pujols is imo, and you'd be giving the MVP to Jones for the flashy stat HRs, not all around value:

Jones = .275 average - 49HR - 121RBI - 89Runs - 145Hits - 61Walks - 97K's - SB - 3

Pujols = .338 average - 39HR - 108RBI - 117Runs - 180Hits - 85walks - 60K's - SB 15

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

kinda disagree with ya jenks.

i'd give it to jones. he carried a team with kids and no chipper to win the division. better stats outside of average, but that also reflects the team around him.

puljos has a ton of talent around him as well.

[Jenks]

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

better stats outside of average

Uhhhh, are you blind?

There are 8 stat categories up there, Pujols is dominating 6 of them.

So Jones is better because he carried the team with no Chipper? Cards = no Rolen, no Sanders for the majority of the season. Edmonds missed a lot too. not having Rolen's bat or glove is just as big of a hit as not having chipper. And the Braves have Chip back, Rolen is done. They won their division? Good, we smoked our division, and the rest of baseball really. The NL Central is a tough division to play in too.

It goes back to one of the problems with baseball of late imo, it's all about the homerun and noone gives a piss about the grunt stats that make a ballplayer.

[thesightless]

Re: MLB- Playoff Run

puljos is hurt cuz he is on a better team. i'd still give it to jones. took a worse team further with out another big star on offense.
