Joe Cowley is an idiot

    After listening to the M&MD interview, didn't he have Ortiz higher than Jeter on his ballot? I think the ballot mentioned in this thread was a guess.

  4. Here's the thing ... you guys can call me a fan boy all you want. I guess you missed the part where I said that Morneau was the right guy to win the award.

    I have no allegiance to the Yankees, and I don't know Jeter. I thought he was a legitimate candidate, but I would have voted for Morneau. My problem with this moron was not that Jeter didn't win, but that he apparently didn't do any research or homework before voting.

    In the WFAN interview, he kept saying that A-Rod was the hitter opponents feared on the Yankees, not Jeter. Then why did opponents keep intentionally walking the guy in front of A-Rod to pitch to him? He also said that Ortiz was much more clutch than Jeter, even though Jeter hit 100 points higher with RISP.

    This clown also had AJ Pierzynski on his ballot, but not Joe Mauer. Give me a freakin' break.

    He just did a bad job. He's an idiot. He should never be allowed to vote again.
     
  5. The Pierzynski-Mauer thing is pretty indefensible.

    I don't think everyone has to vote in lockstep, but this seems very much like a "Look at me!" ballot.

    Anytime I see your picture I think it is one of my posts b/c I used to have that same pic.

    Anyway, if Joe Cowley should be removed from voting, so should everyone who voted for Morneau over Mauer or who left Mauer off their ballot, because Mauer is clearly more important and more valuable to the Twins than Morneau.

    Hell, Torii Hunter is more valuable and important to the Twins than Morneau.

    Actually, no, Torii Hunter was not as valuable to the Twins this year as Morneau. I can see the argument for Mauer or Santana, but Morneau was the key to their offense.

    some guys don't vote for pitchers for MVP. are they idiots?

    if you give more weight to the most Valuable player, opposed to the most Outstanding player, and put four or five players ahead of the $200 million-Yankees' top player, are you an idiot.

    i say no in both instances. we can' even agree whether pitchers or dh's should be eligible, let alone how to measure "value" vs. "production."

    Torii Hunter hit 3 less HRs than Morneau, drove in 32 less runs, scored 7 less, stole 9 more bases, and won a Gold Glove while playing centerfield.

    The team would fare much worse minus Hunter than it would minus Morneau. Proven last year when Hunter played 98 games and Minnesota did not finish first for the only time from 2002-2006.

    I think that being surrounded by $180 million in teammates hurts your "value".

    Period.
