MLB Wild-Card

[EBondo 233]

With the end of the MLB season approaching, the Wild-Card race has been crazy, especially in the NL. The Phillies, after getting rid of Abreu, Lidle, and Bell, are surging, and they're only a half game out of the lead (who woulda thought that would happen?!). Which team do you think will win each Wild-Card?

I think I would have to go with the Phillies, just for the fact that their upcoming schedule is pretty weak, with the exception of Florida, and maybe Houston.

And in the AL, Minnesota has been great lately, I think I'll go with them

Howard for MVP!!!!

definatly phillies in the NL and if they get in, howard SHOULD win the mvp

[EBondo 233]

But with Big Papi being hospitalized, and out indefinitely, he was the only other real choice. Who else would win it?

...big papi=AL

[EBondo 233]

He may not even play for the rest of the season, and the Red Sox definitely aren't making the playoffs this year, so he may be passed up.

there is an mvp for each league..

and the phillies wont make the playoffs and howard wont win the mvp..

beltran is going to win the mvp, for the nl..

The MVP rating in the NL should go:

Pujols

Cabrera

Beltran

Utley

Howard

I love Howard as much as any other Phillies fan, but he's 5th on the list.

Edit: Forgot Cabrera.

Ortiz isn't even the best DH this year, he's not the clear anything.

If Ortiz is done, it's down to Jeter and Dye.

[EBondo 233]

the best DH this year

Travis Hafner?

[mack 44]

It's a trick question as there are no good DHs.

[Chadd 916]

Is it just me or does anyone else see Mo Vaughn (minus 20lbs) every time Ortiz steps up to the plate?

Where's the love for Morneau?

Morneau has had a great season, but its down to Jeter and Ortiz in the AL, and Pujols/Beltran/Howard in the NL. Who makes the playoffs will probably be the deciding factor, so I vote for Jeter and Pujols/Beltran. NL depend on if Beltran ends on a tear or in a slump (he really only is one or the other at any given time).

And for the Wildcards themselves, I say White Sox or Tigers, and NL is just way to sucky/crazy/close to call

AL = JETER

NL = BELTRAN

BELTRAN IS ON THE BEST TEAM. AND JETER WELL WHAT ELSE CAN U SAY...

[EBondo 233]

AND JETER WELL WHAT ELSE CAN U SAY...

NL Wild Card: Phillies

AL Wild Card: As a Tiger fan I would hope the Twins or Red Sox, but I think the White Sox will.

NL MVP: Ryan Howard

AL MVP: Derek Jeter

Go Yanks!

On topic, I hope the twins do

ryan howards so far 3-3 today 3 homers

[kovalchuk71 212]

he is amazing. He will break bonds record in his career (without the roids), im calling it now

[mik3 1]

He's already 27

[mack 44]

Damn Kovy, you're in the South and should know that Andruw Jones has a helluva lot better shot at breaking anything like that. He won't come close, but still.

[Chadd 916]

He plays in a park the size of my living room. Put any of the old timers in that park and the record is closer to 1000 career HR

[jasper 0]

actually he hits the same amount of homers in other stadiums as he does at home

[KYHockey3 0]

for the 1st time in a long time i think the reds have a chance

[troy 12]

I think you mean Aaron's record, it's not Bonds' yet. And in order to pass 755 he'd have to hit 50 for nearly the next 14 years, until he's 41, and without steroids I think that will be quite difficult.
