If the Cubs lead the league in wins, A-Ram will get more MVP votes than Soriano...book it!<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Runnys, you're absolutely right, but do you know why?
It's because MVP voters consider the stat of "RBI" to be the Holy Grail. Indeed, those voters have really been raked over the coals in recent years for giving the award to undeserved players (Morneau, Ryan Howard) just because they were the big RBI men that year. And if Alf and Rammy have the exact same hitting stats, Rammy will end up with 30-40 more ribbies.

I promise I won't belabor this point for the next 5 months; as long as the Cubs are winning, I truly don't care about the batting order. But in October, where every tiny advantage counts, where you're facing the best pitchers on the planet...
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
without morneau or howard, neither of those teams make the playoffs.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Or without Mauer and Santana, or Rollins or Utley. No one player can singlehandedly win a division.
The year Morneau won, Jeter had a MUCH better year, and guess what? His team also made the playoffs. I don't even like Jeter. I just like fairness.
But Morneau had more RBI, so, by default, he unfairly wins the award.
There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
