fMLB Full Count 10

and well, they could also argue that if you switched them up, the Phils probably would've won it anyway.

if anything, Fat Albert could've hit .400 in that park.

(200 K's = only good for pitchers.)

huwaat?

a freakin' jockey won the AL MVP?!?!?!

[Jongkers]

 

Go Sox!

guess this is our cue to feel warm all over and cheer for the little guy...

 

c'mon now, this is even more atrocious than Pujols winning the NL MVP.

doesn't the award mean anything anymore?

[bubuy]

i cant believe hamilton placed 7th..

 

and yeah, pujols was the best player sans the playoffs.. his stats compiled even had a DL stint and yet he wasnt that too far off howard's.. OPS wasnt even close.. if he was hitting in that philly playground and with that supporting cast, he'd even have more..

 

and he's actually younger, more suitable for keeper leagues..

[gift_of_game]

guess it's a marketing thing...the novelty candidate from the more popular ballclub pulled it off.

[Jongkers]

Winter meetings na tayo!

Wala rin lang nangyayari sa fNBA season ko e.

[bubuy]

too bad kinsler had season ending sports hernia injury, he was on an MVP type season too..

 

 

btw doc, is there a difference between a sports hernia and a regular hernia?

[kingsville]

congrats to master B, with his franchise playa winning the NL MVP plum.

(edit) and ajb na rin for the surprising AL MVP award.

 

Jongks, pwede na siguro mag-winter meetings pero walang trade talks.. haha!

 

I'm actually more shocked with CC factoring in the MVP race.

di ba pang-Cy Young awards lang yun?

good question.

I looked it up master B and while the mechanism of injury is more or less similar (weakening of the muscles and tendons of the lower abdominal wall), it's a bit different since...

>it's typically seen among competitive athletes (though there are no exact figures)

>the presentation is varied (pain during sports movements, particularly hip extension, and twisting and turning; also pain during coughing/sneezing)

>typically with no palpable hernia (and there are some who would argue that hernia is a misnomer)

>the anatomic injury/lesion would vary from patient to patient (tendon tear, muscle or nerve entrapment etc.)

>the injury tends to linger and the definitive treatment is surgical

>the recovery rate is quite good for competitive athletes (65 to 90 percent)

i think pwede din ata manalo ang pitchers ng MVP

edit: Denny McClain - in 1968 unanimously won both MVP and Cy Young awards, the only player in history to do so.

 

 

thanks doc. mejo malupit nga yung ibang case ng sports hernia recovery, akalain mo eh after 2 weeks naglalaro na ulit. parang ang sakit nun ah. :sick:

guess they're just adhering to the athlete-warrior code (no pain/no gain etc.)...and he probably got a shot before coming back, haha!

when Howard won in 06 .. pujols said "I see it this way: Someone who doesn't take his team to the playoffs doesn't deserve to win the MVP."

[consiglieri]

shouldve gone with the utley for pedroia and then some trade...

 

oh well...magmumukha nang sox ang lineup ko nun

[agentjackbauer]

Uy, yung bata ko ang AL-MVP.

 

 

Congrats Mr. Pedroia! :boo:
