    Yeah, but the Doc says that should be all cleared up by the end of the week. ... oh, wait. ;) Go Bulls!

    Here's some Deng love for ya. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y25/cneseman/scenes_0405.jpg

    My point is that Pujols and Lee were SO close in stats that the only thing that seperates them is the fact that the Cards are in the playoffs and the Cubs are not. The interesting thing would be if Pujols wasn't in the picture. Lee or Jones?
  4. ManEatingTarp
    Actually I think that's the Player of the Year award. The MVP should go to the best player that propelled their team to the playoffs imo. That said, I'm taking nothing away from Lee. He should get the POY.
  5. ManEatingTarp
    Good Lord people. They're both deserving of the award.

    Why not use 1987 as one? I think part of the problem is the voters have had no consistiency in this discussion. You just summed it up. The rules seem to change every year for MVP. ...and Ozzie should have won in 87 ;)
  7. ManEatingTarp
    This entire discussion is about philosophy. What is Value? We'll get the answer to this right after we figure out haw many angels can dance on the head of a pin. My count of angels tells me. Pujols=MVP Lee=POY If you use 1998 as a roadmap, this is what should happen.

    So the Sox are "us" to you? That's like giving Bea Arthur mouth-to-mouth. Us=Chicago. I agree! ... and I'm a Cards fan :shock:

    that and there's nothing else to do in Iowa :P Hey.........hey, hey.........watch that kind of talk :wink: Well there sure isn't much to do in your neck of the woods, I must admit. :P Being very serious here. There is more to do within 5 blocks of my house in Chicago than there was to do in the entire state of Iowa. It's a good place to raise kids, but that's about it. "Raising kids" is pretty substantial, probably more substantial than ANYTHING that's within 5 blocks of your house. Not to be argumentative, but what can you do within 5 blocks of your house that we can't do in Iowa? I was 22-26 when I lived in Des Moines. It was a very hard town for a young 20s person to live in. The town had a lot to offer if you were 12 years old or 35-75 years old, but very little for a recent college grad. Iowa is very conservative and I am not. What it comes down to is that I'm a city person and Iowa doesn't have any true cities. As far as things to do within 5 blocks of my house, that's not fair because I live in one of the best hoods in the greatest city in the world.

    Wow. Braves/Angels World series. Excuse me while I roll over and fall asleep... Cards/Sox is going to be awesome! ;)
  11. ManEatingTarp
    God works in mysterious ways. :twisted: :lol: good luck. Yeah, my Cub fan friends think our babies will be trashy and smug. Classy and hard working! ;) As long as they're baseball fans they'll be OK.
  12. ManEatingTarp
    3 innings in a row with a DP. Amazing.
  13. ManEatingTarp
    Dude! I think we're the same person in mirror worlds. My girlfriend is a Sox fan. We've already come up with a seperation plan if they both make the Series.
  14. ManEatingTarp
    This Cardinals team creates DPs like no team I've ever watched.
  15. ManEatingTarp
    It's early, but this game may get really ugly. In a good way ;) DLee is a better 1st baseman btw. I was just being surly...
  16. ManEatingTarp
    DLee is an amazing player. An amzing talent. And right now he's probably an amazing golfer.
  17. ManEatingTarp
    3 ground ball outs. If Mulder is getting those results, this is going to be a quick death for the Fathers...

    Can we just let this thread die? You guys are killing my playoff high.
  20. ManEatingTarp
    They were both shams. I hate them both for what they did. Play the game fair, or don't play at all.
  21. ManEatingTarp
    Uh Oh! You said the "T" word. Now we're on the list for sure.
  22. ManEatingTarp
    I'll send you a brick. You send me $50. I promise it's from Wrigley. ;)
  23. ManEatingTarp
    Have fun and just enjoy the baseball. Minor league baseball is a lot of fun. When I lived in Des Moines I loved going to ICubs games even though I'm a huge Cards fan. Watching players that you can actually see develop at a rapid rate is very cool.
  24. ManEatingTarp
    This is better than watching the games. I'm going to make popcorn...
  25. ManEatingTarp
    WOW This is turning into Vance's ultimate bad day ;)
