lol....I guess he had to say something. He comes off real whiney, maybe he should be more worried about the standings

"but I'm not going to win it. They give it to [Rodriguez] one year, even though his team was in last place, so now they can't play that BS anymore, just because your team didn't make it. They gave it to Alex that year because of his numbers. But they always have a reason to vote for whatever, so that's why I don't worry about it."

 

i think he forgot the part where a-rod also won a gold glove at ss that year.

Boo hoo

[njsmalls]

He should worry about his heart. He isn't very valuble to the Red Sox in a hospital or dead!

and there was nobody else worth consideration.

 

 

Sounds like a Red Sox player...next we'll hear that Manny doesn't want to play. Oh, wait...nevermind.

Carlos Delgado was robbed of the MVP that year. He had a higher average (.302-.298), had 42 HR (A-Rod had 47), and had 145 RBI to A-Rod's 118. And Delgado's team didn't finish last.

 

Delgado received a few 8th place votes and was left off of one reporter's ballot. Something was definitely up. A-Rod must have bought that award that year.

lol was that Fernando Tatis with that amazing leaping miss?

you can do other things besides hit HRs to help a team, you know

Is driving in 145 runs one of those things?

 

What exactly was A-Rod helping them do, finish last instead of first?

[fringe]

That is a great point. I think so since he said he did it to protest the Iraq war, which began that year.

Jeter's reaction:

 

A day after Ortiz said that Jeter should "come hit in this lineup, see how good you can be," Jeter responded succinctly yesterday.

"I don't have to do it in his lineup," he said. The captain shrugged when asked further about Ortiz's comments, saying, "I'm not thinking about the MVP right now. We're thinking about winning a division. We've still got something to play for."

 

He then added, "No one here's focused on individual awards."

 

.....Spoken like a true MVP.

That's what he says... but MVP has to be on his mind somewhat now that the division race is over

I'm saying he won GG at SS that year...

Jeter is the master of "the downplay".

[feefifoefum]

He deserved the Gold Glove, but he didn't deserve the MVP. I will never understand why he won it that year. I thought it was who's most valuable to his team. THEY FINISHED DEAD LAST. Where would they have been without A-Rod that year? You can only do better than last place, so how valuable was he to that team?

Jeter's reaction:

Exactly!

[Ditto]

I repeat, if they couldn't pick Papi over A-Rod last year because he was a DH, they shoudn't be able to pick him this year, either.

 

So, who would that leave besides Jeter, Mauer, and Morneau?
