11/19 Hot Stove – MVP Predictions
With the MVP Awards being handed out next week, I went around the MLB Network Studio to see who the favorites are in our halls.
Now Al and Victor agree that it’s going to be Albert Pujols in the NL and Joe Mauer in the AL. They seem to be strong favorites.
Harold agrees on Pujols, but he believes that Derek Jeter will take home the title in the AL. For Jeter, an MVP would really top a busy award season. He’s already won the Hank Aaron Award, Roberto Clemente Award, Silver Slugger Award, Gold Glove Award, and another one of those World Series rings.
As for my picks, I’ll have to agree with Al and Victor: Pujols and Mauer Power all the way.
Don’t forget to tune in to Hot Stove tonight at 6pm ET. Harold, Victor, and Al will be talking to now 2-time Cy Young winner, Tim Lincecum. – Hazel Mae

IS IT ME OR HAS THE QUALITY OF THE SELECTION AND TIMEING OF THE FLOW OF THE GAME GONE GRADE SCHOOL PRACTICE FILM. AT BABY BOOMER AGE, I HAVE TO CLOSE MY EYES AND LISTEN, AS THE CAMERA PANS FROM FAN, TO MANAGER, TO CATCHER FACE, BATTER FACE, UMPIRE, DUGOUT, THEN TO TOWARD THE BATTER, AND AT THE LAST MILLISECOND, TO THE PITCHER WHO IS ALREADY THROWING THE BALL. MY EYES DON’T MOVE THAT FAST AND I THINK SOMEONE IS TRYING TO LOOSE THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME SO I WILL GO TO THE PARK. WELL I’M THE PERSON WHO BUYS THE STUFF YOUR SPONSER SELLS! SOCCER IS FAST REPLACING YOU AS A WATCHABLE SPORT. NO OWNER GIVES A DAMN. FIRE SOMEONE, ROTATE TILL YOU FIND SOMEONE THAT CAN MAKE WATCHING YOUR SPORT FUN. YOU HAVE’NT FIRED ANY UMPIRES, EVEN THOUGH THEY STAND OVERTOP THE SHOULDER OF CATCHER AS THE BALL GOES DOWN THE MIDDLE JUST BELOW BELT AND CALL IT A BALL, (? COMMISSIONERS INSTRUCTIONS OR UNDER CONTRACT WITH SOMEONE ELSE, AS IN NBA ((AS IN THE TWINS, TIGERS GAME TOWARDS END OF SEASON)), THE ANNOUNCERS (ALL OF THEM ) TALK ABOUT IS THE POOR UMPIREING,,,,,WAKE UP COMMISIONER, FIRE SOMEONE AND FIX THIS BEFORE YOU LEAVE, YOU HAVE DONE SUCH A GREAT JOB ON THE REST OF IT.
