Unlikely.  He's not the bro-type.

if you were given a vote as far as mvp's, who would you have voted for? did baseball writers show that making the playoffs is more important than whether a player is a pitcher or position player? now that mlb will test for hgh, how long before pujols and bautista's numbers start dropping significantly? and which big name player will be the first busted by the new testing?

I'm a bit biased but Granderson pretty much kept the Yanks in the hunt while the rest of the team sorted themselved out.   Ellsbury also had a fine year but he was all PED'd up.  
Not sure as both of the aforementioned got plenty of votes.  
I'd expect Bautista to fall of the map almost immediately.  Pujols can still be a .300 hitter with significantly less power. 
There aren't many big name players as dumb as Manny.   I'm sure they're cycling off right now.   The players who'll get busted are the ones needing that one season to get the big deal.

do you think it's fair that it seems like ellsbury and kemp were 'penalized' for not being on playoff teams? if you had to pick between ellsbury and verlander and then braun and kemp, who would you have voted for?

other than jeter, who is the best mlb player right now? do you think matt kemp can hit 50 homers and steal 50 bags as he has claimed he will do next season? do you think anyone can do that?

which hbd teams get the first round playoff byes? all division winners?
11/23/2011 8:20 AM
Yeah, I think it's fair.   Value has to be defined by being part of a winner.   I'm not sure Ellsbury was penalized that much because they were in it for most of the season.  Again, I'm a bit biased because I hate the Sux and Pillsbury so I'd picked Verlander.   Not so sure about Kemp/Braun.   If you factor in the home park, you'd probably have to say Kemp had the better year but, since he played for a loser, I'd pick Braun.

I'll pre-face it by saying I don't watch very much NL baseball.   I'd probably go with Miggy Cabrera if he could stay off the booze. But, since he can't, Robinson Cano. He drives me batty in the field because he's so non-chalant but he makes the plays.   And he just hits.  And hits.
No, he cannot.  At least not in LA.
I don't think there's a current MLB player who can 40/40.

The two best records from the 4 division winners.

Will Kyle Orton be a Chicago Bear by the weekend?
11/23/2011 8:50 AM
That seems to be the popular opinion but there are about 20+ teams that have a shot at him before Chicago.   Seems to me that several of them could use Orton if they actually wanted to upgrade(which seems insane when discussing Orton) their QB.

Will you be celebrating Thanksgiving tomorrow, or are you still ****** at the white man for taking your land and introducing your people to firewater?
11/23/2011 11:57 AM
I will be enjoying turkey but cursing the Cowboys, hated rivals of the Redskins, while doing it.

I have barely posted on the WIS forums in the past year.

Did you miss me?
Are you impressed this is the first thread I came back too?

I still suck at HBD, why?
11/23/2011 11:58 PM
I noticed you weren't around.
Immensely.
I'm guessing you haven't learned anything yet.
