Hall Of Fame Is Why Awards Still Matter
For Internet baseball writers, cries of apathy have drowned out the usual complaining about the BBWAA Awards voting. What used to be "here's why Johan Santana was a much better choice for the Cy than Bartolo Colon" has become "holy crap I couldn't care less who wins the Cy Young Award". I touched...
What Can Be Learned From the AL MVP Voting?
On Monday afternoon, I fully expect Joe Mauer to win his first MVP award after finishing sixth in 2006 and fourth last year. Joe led the AL in batting average while hitting for respectable power (28 HRs) in only 138 games, most of which were as a catcher. He led the Twins into the postseason after...
Monday's Frosty Mug
Some things to read while cleaning your spit valve. The Rookie of the Year awards will be announced in a few hours, but Casey McGehee isn't sitting by his phone waiting for a call. He seems to understand that he's a long shot at best for the award. He finished eighth in the SBN balloting for the...
Weekend Mug 11/15

I have no idea what happened to your Regular Dad, one can only guess... in any case,...

Carl Crawford wants out of Tampa Bay
UPDATE (4:01 P.M.): Tampabay.com doesn't believe the NY Baseball Digest's report has any merit. While they have yet to speak to any officials, Tampabay.com looks at quotes from both sides over the past few weeks regarding the issue, and it doesn't add up to the latest report. Stay tuned. NY...
11/14 - Return of the Links
I'm back from my vacation/travels/schoolnight-curfew. And, I brought LINKS. I'll have to dig through a whole pile of them that I built up while away, but this should hold y'all over till then. (My apologies if I link to something that's already been linked to before; I don't recommend cramming a...
Catching up on SBN awards
It is awards time around Major League Baseball these days. Not to be outdone, the baseball bloggers here at SB Nation held their own awards voting. I know they aren't official. But, kinda fun to see how our results compare with the official voting. Here is how it broke down, according to our...
