  2. Hmm, I didn't really think of that. That's similar to how both Jeter and Matsui were both on the final vote ballot for the ASG, in effect removing one of the staples of baseball from the game all together. I guess we will just have to see how it goes :dunno:
  3. I think the Yanks winning the AL East will prob help Arod, too. And I'm not glorifying Arods glove saying its more impressive than his bat, I'm just saying he is a damn good fielder along with being able to put up the same offensive numbers as Ortiz.
  4. Too bad "the people" won't be making the decision, although I won't be surprised if Ortiz wins considering how anti-yankee this world has become. Besides, Ortiz can have his MVP as long as Arod gets his ring. :thumbsup:
  5. lol we'll see...
  6. Yes, I totally understand where you are coming from, but Ortiz is a DH who doesn't have a better batting average or as many homers as Arod does. Arod plays the field as well which is something you can't compare with Ortiz because he doesn't play the field at all. And yeah, whatever one will win it and one won't. I've got to agree with Arod on this one tho. Ortiz has a ring and Arod has a MVP. They can switch :thumbsup:
  7. And you think the Yanks would be anywhere without Arods 48 blasts and high average after starting the season a dismal 11-19? Walk-off hits are definately more memorable than plays on the field. I still remember Arods two run shot in the 9th off Schilling that would prove to be the winning runs of the game. What people don't always remember, however, are the defensive plays that keep the team in the game. What people don't remember (Dave Roberts being an exeption) are stolen bases that lead to runs. Don't tell me that those runs via stolen bases and prevention of runs via amazing defensive plays are any less important than walk-off hits. To get to the 9th inning you have to play 8 innings of fundamentally sound baseball to be in a position to win the baseball game. A walk-off hit is dramatic, but everything else that goes into that win is lost in the excitement. Please just let that excitement wear off and look at the two seasons Ortiz and Arod had. I think that hands down Arod is a more valuable player.
  8. PS- Arod leads his team in HRs, RBIs, AND Average. Ortiz can only boast being the leader in HRs and RBIs on his team. Arod is much more qualified to be the MVP, bar none.
  9. You are correct, valuable does have multiple meanings. Hitting is the ONE aspect that Ortiz brings to the table.
  10. Get rid of Arod at third and who do you have at third base? Phillips with that strong arm of his? Yeah I'll take Arod there thanks. Take Ortiz off the field and who....oh wait. He doesn't even play the field. If anything, Ortiz is a liability to you in the field over Olerud, like in the WS last year when the DH role was eliminated. That doesn't really scream MVP to me. I believe Arod has the second best average in the AL. Yup, pretty good hitter, too. This is most valuable player award people, not a batting title or a silver slugger award we are discussing here.
  11. Congrats from me to you. I just don't know how much I want another Yankee/Red Sox ALCS. I don't think my poor little heart can take it anymore.
  12. My vote: The Red Sox funny how they aren't even an option though....
  13. Also considering the fact the Yankees SUCK against him, you guys can probably expect to win.
  14. I definately saw two different strike zones in the game, but whatever. It's six one way half a dozen the other, no use in complaining and hopefully the Yanks will have a slight advantage tomorrow and capitalize on it like the Red Sox did tonight.
  15. They sell Red Sox stuff everywhere. The mall has hats EVERYWHERE. Annoying, really. They have little baby Red Sox outfits, Boston hats in whatever colors. Modells, Foot Locker, random vendors. So if you are willing to go to the suburbs, the mall is your best bet.
  16. Not lookin too good right about now.
  17. Can't say I'm surprised.
  18. lol that should be fun. i guess the red sox thought they should pick up yankee garbage as the yanks have been doing with red sox garbage. maybe they think stanton will reveal confidential yankee secrets....ohh the possibilities.
  19. Yankees win. Even series 1-1 go for series win tomorrow.
  20. Hey there, I'm not a bug!
  21. welcome to the jungle..
  22. That was a nice send-off for Bernie, but hopefully won't be the last.
  23. Could be the last game in Yankee Stadium this year
