[AllegroRondo]

1. Prince Fielder.

[IndianaJones]

2. I think he was in there a month ago. This past week has seen him fade.

great season though.

[dolo amber]

8. I think you've been huffing toxic goo bubbles

:eyes:

Go Prince!! :bounce:

[IndianaJones]

9. homer. nt.

[dolo amber]

11. I'll see your homer and raise you a Ryan Braun for Rookie of the Year

Ooooooh, FACE! :P

[IndianaJones]

12. burned. watchin' the Cubbies tonight? nt.

[dolo amber]

13. I, like their fans, await yet another heartbreaking first-round playoff elimination

:patriot:

[IndianaJones]

14. You're harsh. I am a forced fan, have to listen to it on the radio all day.

My Yankees are in. I'm happy.

[dolo amber]

15. See? Now we're whistlin' the same tune

It's all about the Yankee love. :loveya:

[IndianaJones]

16. AL MVP is a race between A-Rod and...

A-Rod.

[AllegroRondo]

24. I hear they have Bartman in protective custody

he's not allowed anywhere near the game.

[IndianaJones]

25. they ran that dude out of town. he's gone for good. nt.

[AllegroRondo]

23. bravo!

he more than deserves it.

[Magrittes Pipe]

10. This is the correct answer.

[mvd]

3. Rollins

He has nearly as many homers as Holiday while having more runs and many more stolen bases. 94 RBIs as a lead off hitter, too, and 20 triples.

[leftofthedial]

4. the absurd hitter's bandbox in Philadelphia disqualifies any of the Phillies

from ever receiving a post-season award. Offensive stats there are so cheap that all of their records should have asterisks.

[mvd]

5. Agreed on the asterick part

You never know who is guilty.

[BOSSHOG]

6. Its just starting to make up for 30 years at the VET

[leftofthedial]

18. yeah, but Rollins didn't play at the Vet for 30 years

besides, the Phillies sucked even when they played at the Baker Bowl LOL

[BOSSHOG]

20. Imagine if Schmidty had played at today's "hitter's bandbox"

There would be no need of discussion of barry bonds, so I guess I'll give Schmidt an asterisk.

[leftofthedial]

28. Jack Schmidt was the greatest third-baseman in baseball history

except for when Honus Wagner played third. :-)

(And Larry Bowa was a *great* frigging shortstop.)

But the Rockies are a better team than the Philthies. And Holliday is *way* better than Rollins. Rollins isn't even the MVP of his team, much less the league.

[Arkham House]

27. Hmmm...as opposed to the pitcher's paradise in Colorado...?

...does this mean all members of the Red Sox are ineligible for MVP? Seems to me, the opposing teams in Philly play in the "bandbox" too, and can ratchet their numbers up as well. For me, Rollins was the MVP, all the way...he drove that team from the start...

[leftofthedial]

31. I've heard it for 14 years now...

hitters for the rockies have numbers "elevated by altitude," so they get dissed and dissed and dissed in post-season awards.

Well, it turns out it wasn't the altitude at all. It was the (lack of) humidity and the vast expanses of outfield at Coors Field. Since the installation of the humidor for storing game balls at average sea level humidity, Coors is about an average homer park. The park in Phillie, OTOH, is a homerun derby joke of a hitter's park. It makes Fenway or Wrigley look like the Vet. With any other team, Rollins would hit about .260 with maybe 12 homers. He is undoubtedly one of the two or three most overrated players in all of baseball. But instead of intelligent people noting the obvious bogosity of his offensive stats, he's actually being mentioned in the same breath with an utter hitting stud like Holliday as MVP? BS I say.

Matt Holliday is the fiercest hitter and the most valuable player in all the NL.

[BOSSHOG]

7. No brainer - Rollins with Chase Utley as the runner up

[leftofthedial]

32. yeah, Utley showed us today, didn't he?

so did Rollins.

:thumbsdown:

[BOSSHOG]

33. One game does not make a season

however, based on the voting some apparently think so.

[leftofthedial]

34. I don't think either one of those players is even the MVP of the Philthies

much less the league

[madinmaryland]

17. You failed to mention this player...

[BOSSHOG]

19. And for good reason

[IndianaJones]

21. the poll was for MVP, not greatest player of all time. nt.

[BOSSHOG]

22. You are a comedian Indiana, that was really funny

[cboy4]

30. LOL!!! Barry 08

[KamaAina]

26. That player hit .276 with 28 HRs and an anemic 66 RBI

on a sad-sack last-place team. (Amazingly, the 28 dingers led the club.)

Not even within local calling distance of MVP numbers.

[cboy4]

29. I can't believe lostinmaryland beat me to this :(

And a homer against the Dodgers which makes it twice as nice!



ON EDIT--- I VOTED FOR HOLLIDAY
