Pretty Loser Wins AL MVP

Alex Rodriguez Wins AL MVP Award

A-Rod is the Anna Kournikova, the Pavel Bure, of baseball: pretty loser. He's got the numbers, all right, if only you don't look at one crucial component: his numbers in the clutch. Clutch (close-and-late) hits, a statistic in which David Ortiz lead the majors; A-Fraud wasn't even in the top 50.

Stats Inc. describes close-and-late situations as ones that occur from the seventh inning on, with the batting team ahead by a run or tied or the tying run on base, at bat or on deck. Ortiz leads the majors with 33 close-and-late RBIs. Rodriguez is not even in the top 50.

Need I remind you that David Ortiz has a World Series ring, and Slappy McBluelips has none?

This award is a travesty. David Ortiz is the true MVP.

I wonder if the repulsive one, the CHB, voted for David Ortiz?
