They are nowhere near as bad as their September record, coming into today's games they had scored the 4th highest number of runs this month - the problem is the pitching. When you get to the point when you have lost four of your opening day five man rotation (especially where the only one...

I think TB and LAA are doing their best to help BOS (they are 4-6, 5-5 and 3-7 respectively in their last 10 games). Having said that, a three way tie for the wild card would be pretty special.

Now those are very good pictures.

The photos aren't very good at all - either it's the lighting or the camera or a combination of both. Take pictures during the day with as much natural light coming through the windows and use a proper camera rather than your phone (which I suspect you used). Anything second hand and without a...

There is very little between them, Sabathia has a BABIP around 30 points higher than his career while Verlander has one 50 points lower which makes his ESPN stats a lot better. Verlander will get the Cy Young nod on the basis of his wins and ERA.

Fixed.

He has won a lot more games, that is for sure.

Ellsbury has been the most productive player in baseball over both the last two weeks as well as for the past thirty days. If he could pitch as good as he hits, took every at bat in the lineup and simultaneously fielded each of the eight defensive positions then you would have an excellent case...

They pitch in different leagues, right? I'm out.

I was saying that a W/L record is no measure of a pitcher. Verlander is talented but the W/L record is an awful measure of actual ability. In 2008, Dice-K had a 18-3 record and Verlander had a 11-17 record. And Verlander was the better pitcher.

Ellsbury is having a career year, unless he takes what Barry Bonds might or might not have taken then he isn't going to have another one like this. Ellsbury is just as replaceable as Bautista but try replacing either of them.

Yes, Halladay is better than Verlander this year but they are both having amazing seasons. Verlander should get some votes for being really, really good. Like one of the top 10 players in the AL especially with his W-L record (which really means very little as to his actual talent). It should...

The balloon thing was surely not real.

That wasn't real, right?

This is not a sports forum, it's a sports(?) forum - leadfootfred will agree.

At the moment, Ellsbury but either one is a good choice (and there is no-one close to them at the moment). Ellsbury gets a fair bit of his value from his defense which is more of a Gold Glove thing rather than MVP (in the eyes of the people who vote) so that might detract the voters. But he's...

Mike Stanton is awesome, and he's only 22.

But you always click on them, right? Instead of moaning in each of her threads that you don't like her threads then you might be better off not reading them at all.

That was my thought after I had finished #4

Yes!
