The 2012 AL All-Star team was announced this past Sunday; and four New York Yankees were selected, so CONGRATULATIONS are in order for Derek Jeter, Robinson Cano, Curtis Granderson and CC Sabathia. MLB fans voted on the starting position players for each team. But each league’s respective All-Star manager chooses the pitchers and reserve position [...]

New York Yankees: ESPN voted Derek Jeter not an MVP do you agree

Instead of mulling over the New York Yankees many troubles, which are still very real even after their 3-2 win over the Royals last night, I found another subject to focus my irritations on. And that would be non-other then the MLB award watch 2012 on ESPN.com, specifically the AL MVP. ESPN decided to vote on [...]

Yankees captain wants his MVP

I WANT MY MVP? Most people would say that the New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter has it all, but they are wrong. Ok, so Jeter is rich, handsome, dates hot brunettes, has enough World Series Championship rings for every finger on his right hand, Gold Gloves, Silver Sluggers and countless awards in just about [...]

MLB: To Be Or Not To Be MVP Is Up To Ryan Braun

Tonight, Milwaukee Brewers star Ryan Braun will be presented with the 2011 NL MVP Award at the Baseball Writers’ Association of America dinner in New York City and everyone is wondering what he will do. That is because back in October, Braun failed a routine performance-enhancing drug test. The levels of testosterone found were said [...]

New York Yankees: A Note To Brewers Fans

Dear Milwaukee Brewers Fans, It is saddening when troubling news breaks about a player that you admire, like it did with your perennial Milwaukee favorite Brewer Ryan Braun. I can safely speak for most New York Yankee fans in stating that things changed the day Alex Rodriguez admitted to using PEDs (performance-enhancing-drugs). Even though he [...]

MLB: Steroids Are Still Baseball’s Dirty Mistress

300px-Ryan_Braun_2008-14

When ESPN reported the news that 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun had tested positive for PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) it reminded me that baseball still had a dirty mistress. I knew back on January 11, 2010 that MLB commissioner Bud Selig might have spoken too soon about the end of the steroid era, when he told NY Time’s Mike [...]

NL MVP To Ryan Braun Screw You Matt Kemp

The BBWAAvoters really screwed up this time. I mean the AL MVP debate was at least passable, but everybody knew who the NL MVP for the 2011 season was going to be. It would seem that the BBWAA’s blunders are coming from letting their wishes interpret all duties by having an open mind. It was [...]

New York Yankees: Granderson, Cano, CC, Tex, Houdini All On MVP List

Much to my dismay (click HERE to read why) , I obviously still extend my sincerest of CONGRATULATIONS to Detroit Tiger ace, and recent CY Young receipt Justin Verlander for being named the 2011 Most-Valuable-Player. There was no question that Verlander was the best pitcher across baseball this past season. Verlander finished the regular season [...]

IMG_1663-262x3501

With the announcement of the 2011 AL MVP Award just hours away, the endless debate still continues about who is the rightful winner. The  reason for all the hoopla is that Detroit Tiger, and recent crowned CY Young winner Justin Verlander has a good chance of taking the coveted annual award home later today. So, [...]

Congratulations to Detroit Tigers Justin Verlander for his historic 2011 season. Verlander won the CY Young Award by a landslide, just as expected and well-deserved I may add. Verlander went 24-5 in the regular season, posting a 2.40 ERA, 250 strikeouts and pitched 251 innings. In all honesty, the rest of the CY Young voting [...]
