    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    Why do you say that? I don't think I've said anything that makes me look 13 or uneducated.

    Triple H wasn't the first to hold that belt. The belt he recieved was the Heavyweight championship. Are you sure it's not The Rock?

    It's already been explained. Well I'm glad I was wrong about the Dallas/N.O series.

    I believe it was The Rock who first used that belt. Edit:The belt Eddie Guerrero is holding. Not the one Stone Cold has. He's was the first one to have that one. The night after Wrestlemania 14. It was alittle while after the Screwjob. That one is my favorite as well.

    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    The whole team chemistry thing is overrated, The Giants made it all the way to the World Series with Bonds and Kent. While I do believe Bonds isn't as bad as he's potrayed, he's not exactly a guy you'd say has a team lifting attitude. But yes, writers shouldn't be the voters. They're bias and...

    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    That's fair. I don't fully agree with it, but you do have a point. Much like how people discredit sabermetrics. As for the two space thing, that's what I was taught to do in school? But if bugs you I'll gladly try to stop haha.

    RBI's are terrible indicator of a hitter's ability. See Joe Carter and Tony Batista. Bonds shouldn't have been higher than 10th on anyones ballot at the end of the season. Just to repeat myself, I said "at the all star break". He missed way too much time to win MVP last.

    Pierce wasn't flashing any "gang" signs haha.

    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    Oh, well I can't speak for everyone but Bonds didn't seem to get any recongition for his year last season. He should have been MVP at the break but no one was talking about that. He was one of the top hitters in the league last year. Maybe people were talking about and I just didn't hear them.

    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    I fail to see how one player uplift his team. There's the protection agrument, that's not for certain. If we're talking basketball, then yes. In basketball someone can control the ball the whole time. They can guard the other team's best player. In baseball you can't. You have to wait your...

    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    I'd say yes. Although Williams did miss 20 games and Joe D obviously has a huge advantage on the field. I still would have voted Williams.

    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    Haha I'm a Braves fan, so saying Wright deserved isn't that easy. I already explained my thoughts on a team record. So they way I see it: Hitting: Huge advantage Wright Defence: Small advantage Rollins SB's: Small advantage Rollins Hitting is the most important part of the game for non...

    2008 Running Pro Wrestling Thread

    Oh, well original for WWE. I'm a fairly "new" fan. Only started watching a lot in 1999. I like to believe I have a fairly good history knowledge of it though. Clearly not enough though :p haha

    Baseball's Worst MVP Choices

    It's not my big determining factor. It's one of a few. I said Rollins over Wright, so obviously Bonds wasn't my MVP choice. Although he had a much better year than people believe he did.

    Hey everyone. I'm a first year journalism student at St. Thomas in Fredericton NB. I wrote for the school paper (a few baseball and mostly an NBA column) to help me improve my writing. I'll post some here and any feedback I could get would be fantastic. I'm sure this is what I want to do and...
