Where do you stand now with your award picks?

Explain A-rod in 2003 then?

Explain A-rod in 2003 then?

That was the season with no good candidates. Kind of like the AL this year. They're going to have to give it to someone by default (Morneau? Quentin? Hamilton?). Ugh.

[browntown653]

That's just the way things work. It's why we had Miguel Tejada over A-Rod in 2002. Who had the superior stats? A-Rod. But who won the MVP? Exactly.

I wouldn't have picked Tejada.

Since I posted those polls, Quentin got hurt, Webb learned to suck, Ryan Howard went man beast on people, the mets continued to blow(that had nothing to do with anything other than the pure fun of it), Pujols is still Pujols and KRod holds a record. I personally think the only award that's wrapped up is the AL Cy, but knowing the weird tendencies by voters, KRod will pick up a lot of support and thus make things.. strange.

Who are your picks now for:

NL MVP
NL Cy Young

AL MVP
AL Cy Young

NL MVP: Albert Pujols- Without Pujols, the cards are where the Reds are. He IS the team.
NL Cy Young: Tim Lincecum- Santana and Webb might get some support on reputation but Webb pitched his way out of it

AL MVP: Im going to think outside the box. What about Vlad? Most likely going to win it Boston BS wins out Dustin Pedroia.
AL Cy Young: Cliff Lee- Saves dont happen if the starter doesnt pitch well. 22-2> 60+ saves.

I wouldn't have picked Tejada.

Another one you got wrong then, since Tejada won.

AL Cy Young: Cliff Lee- Saves dont happen if the starter doesnt pitch well. 22-2> 60+ saves.

He's 22-3.

Hmm...this is a real tough one! I wonder who the MVP is?!?!

Yeah, maybe its the better all around hitter. Pujols no doubt.

[love_that_reefer]

NL MVP- Pujols no doubt about it. He is the best hitter in baseball and he kept the Cards in contention into the final month. Cards will have a better record than the NL West winner. You do not have to be in the playoffs to win this award but simply keep your team in contention. Pujols has been there all year, Howard hasn't and its not close.

NL Cy Young- Lincecum since his numbers are outstanding. Santana has moved into second place with me.

AL MVP- Its a tie with Morneau and Youkilis. Youkilis has been there all year and even had to play two positions there for while and did that at a high level. Morneau has been driving in runs all year and is a great guy to have with RISP. His .306 average helps too.

AL Cy Young- Cliff Lee and there shouldn't be a first place vote going anywhere else.

[browntown653]

Another one you got wrong then, since Tejada won.

I guess the right choice always wins. Baseball writers are immorals!

[Kingdom]

I do like the fact that both can hit in clutch situations. But it's Winnie the Pujols all the way.

[DirtyKash]

Another HR and an RBI double for Howard last night to help the Phillies to an important win. Howard's hitting around .350 with 11 HR in September, not too bad. 46 HR and 146 RBI on the year.

[Kingdom]

I thought it was 47?

It would be nice if he just went off in the last game to reach 50.

[DirtyKash]

It's 48 HR actually. I mistyped. The RBI total was too similar that it ****ed me up.

[Kingdom]

NL MVP: Albert Poojolz
NL Cy Young: CC Sabathia*

AL MVP: Dustin Pedroia
AL Cy Young: Cliff Lee had 2 months ago


Gets my pick if he puts the fear of God into the cubs Sunday, otherwise Tim Lincecumdumpster for the victory.

[browntown653]

Well, Howard's playing well in September. Forget about all the other months, he's the MVP.
