Makes total sense. Both are the ones who are the ball lickers.

There are select high school teams with more payroll than Houston. Good to see the optimism back for Astros, tho.

Machado suspended 5 games. Dumb.

Also, the orioles will make the post season this year. Sorry to burst your bubble but the Astros are about to have a dose of reality.

I'll see you on the couch in 4 months watching teams not named Houston or Baltimore

I'd have liked to have been in the office when Buck sat him down to "talk" with him about it. That would have been fun.

The joke is on you because if teams not named Houston or Baltimore are in the playoffs instead of teams named Houston or Baltimore I won't watch anything.

Just wanted to note that the wife surprised me with a Dustin Pedroia signed ball for Father's Day. That's when you know you've got a good one.

Been married long?

My wife and I stopped the autographed item thing after:

1) Johnny Damon went to the Yankees
2) Mike Lowell got injured and then retired (at least he retired as a Soz)
3) Youk got shipped out.

We started to think that whenever one of us got the other a signed item, bad things followed it.

Lol. Point taken. Still, Pedey would really have to screw up to render that ball worthless. (Knock on wood)

So I'm watching the Australia/Netherlands game. At 89 minutes they showed a guy in the stands wearing a Red Sox hat! Nice!

tanaka is pitching well enough to be at the top of the cy young, mvp, rookie of the year ballots. incredible

Cy Young and Rookie of the Year, yes. MVP? Shouldn't go to a pitcher.

In other news, the Sox released Sizemore today. Unfortunately that experiment didn't work out. Looks like the youth movement gets time to grow this season. 10 game road trip upcoming.

avert your eyes from verlander and roger clemens, then...

I kind of agree that a starting pitcher shouldn't be the MVP seeing as they play only 1 out of 5 or 6 games.

It has happened. Doesn't necessarily mean that I have to agree with it.

SapperAg

Like Chowdah said, Token, I know it happens. I don't agree with it. Even if your starter wins every single game he starts, that's only 1/5th of your schedule.

And a successful batter fails 70% of the time.

A pitcher can greatly effect a series just by pitching twice more so than a batter can playing in 5-6 games imo

Tanaka WAR - 2.9(third behind King at 4.4 and Yu at 3.0)

Trout WAR - 4.7

Gordon WAR - 4.1

Donaldson WAR - 3.4

Mr.Bond

So on WAR logic Felix is slam dunk mvp

And by token logic certainly the Cy Young winner.

In the playoffs or World Series, this is most likely true. However, in the regular season (which the MVP is an award for) it isn't true as they won't pitch twice in the same series.

Tillman with the shutdown. 8-0.

Sorry, Tino and Goose.
