| I saw an interview on Mike and the Mad Dog with a guy that voted. Mike and the Mad Dog did notihng but make him speechless because they strongly disagreed that he put Jeter 6th in the MVP rankings. Shows you more people agree on Jeter should have won the MVP award.
He said he picked Ortiz and Frank Thomas over Jeter because of their leadership and both of them keeping the team in the playoff race, and stats don't matter. Then 2 minutes later when they argue, he brings up Ortiz' stats and how amazing they are, Mike and the Mad Dog were actually laughing at the guy, he's a joke. He says Ortiz kept the Sox in playoff contention? Red Sox were out 1 1/2 months prior to seaons end.
Also, the people that do vote are stupid writers that know shit about the game and these votes could be either biased , they can be Yankee haters, or they could be retarded writers who knows. Last year this same guy put A-Rod 6th in the rankings as well in the MVP Race, they are a bunch of morons that messed this MVP Award up. |
