What in the world does Melky Cabrera have to do with this? He plays in the National League. Miguel Cabrera absolutely won the triple crown.

I think you mean the post above and are talking to me, in which case I will need you to quantify my moronity before I am convinced by your argument. As you reject non-quantifiable assessments, we’ll...

WHY DOES NOBODY MENTION THE FACT THAT CABRERA ACCOUNTED FOR OVER 20% OF HIS TEAMS RUNS SCORED IN SEPTEMBER. Through the months of August and September, Cabrera batted .332, had 18 home runs and 51 RBI....

It doesn’t serve any purpose to say why a player should win an award now, at this point. After all, the voting was done a long time ago!

Cabrera should win…..but because Verlander won last year he can’t. If he does, then the Yankee rule comes in and the Tigers MUST be hated by all other teams because the have better players. It is...

What do Carl Hubble, Mickey Cochrane, Joe Gordon and Joe DiMaggio have in common. They won the MVP award when someone else hit for the triple crown. This is just the tenth time that someone has hit for...

If you believe that the MVP award should go to the player who was the most valuable over the entire season, then late season stats are no more relevant than any other period. Silver pretty clearly...

Well retorted. Did you take debate classes? To clarify, your counter-argument is: A): I said your post below, when in that scenario, the post would appear above mine B): By saying some events are...

I wish those stat-heads would crawl back to their mothers basements and stay there. They obviously never picked up a baseball in their lives. Open your eyes people! There is more to baseball than...

Votes are already in. Debate has been boring since July. Right or wrong, Cabrera will win it. In the history of MVP, Trout losing won’t go down as robbery. Less about new school vs old school than it...

Nate Silver’s has an opinion..Who cares! Just like everyone has a butt hole. I bet this guy was a twinkie eating scrub while warming the bench in little league baseball. I’d respect MVP trophy’s more...

A lot of decisions made at the plate and in the field reflect circumstances that the statistics don’t necessarily show. Possibly, but it’s also possible that they don’t. For instance, the idea of a...

Drew Brees wants a clarification on the ‘Ghetto Vote’…. Anyway, anyone ever seen so many guys in one place vehemently defend another dude? It’s really um, interesting to see all of the MT man love...

Cabrera is the MVP. The games are played on the field, not the ‘war’ room.

Slugging %, OPS and batting average all go to Cabrera. Hits, doubles, HR, RBI all go to Cabrera. Sure you can say Trout scored 20 more runs, if that makes you feel good. Trout is a leadoff hitter. The...

No, MotorCitySteel, actually he would be the FIFTH Triple Crown winner to not win the MVP. Chuck Klein in 1933, Lou Gehrig in 1934 and Ted Williams in 1942 AND 1947 are the other four. Baseball...
