MVP voters R teh suck

Ok, I agreed w/ the NL choice completely. Pooholes should probably win 5 or 6 of these things by the time he's done, so long as his body holds up.
That said, Rhino, you know I love you, but you deserved to finish a close second about as much as Bush deserved a second term (ooh! Topical and timely! Sick burn).

In the AL, Pedroia winning just fuels the Massholes through a cold, lonely winter.

You who do nawt recawgnize Perdooooya as the one true MVP are nawt true fans!

A quick list of folks who'd have been better than Pedroia:
Mauer
Sizemore
Jeter (kidding)

A quick list of folks who'd have made a better runner up than Rhino:
Utley
Burrell
Hamels
About 10 other guys who play for other teams.

Also - to the two voters who picked Lidge #1: go fuck yourselves.

Continuing My Triumphant Return To Homerism

Check out those guns!

While his physique is certainly staggering, as are the stories Pat Murphy tells in the above link, neither Dustin Pedroia's glistening biceps nor Murphy's expletive-laden war stories are as staggering as the statistic reported today in the Globe's Extra Bases blog:

Here’s one of the coolest stats you’ll see this year: Dustin Pedroia has swung the bat 1,114 times this season. He has connected with 1,027 pitches and missed 87. Think about that. It’s the best percentage in the majors this season.

The stat is repeated in a Pedroia feature in the main paper. As it should be. Yikes. You'd think a stat like that would be evidence of below-average plate discipline, except that he has 45 walks... mediocre, but only 7 fewer than the Greek God of Walks himself. I'd like to see some other whiff figures, just to see who else is in competition, but regardless it's awfully impressive.

Karma Is A Bitch

Yeah... and she's MY bitch.





And as for you, Boss Hogg:



Hope you enjoyed your week out of the house, Cleveland. Now go back to being miserable losers. Sit down and watch some Mind of Mencia reruns. I'm sure that's up your alley. And I'm sure they'll be on until April.
