As to the MVP...yeah, a lumbering, .226-hitting catcher nicknamed "The Big Dumper" is the living end of our contemporary brand of baseball...

About the only thing worse is Schwarber, a DH with a lifetime .231 average and a 2:1 strikeouts to walk ratio...

Judge, meanwhile, is leading the AL in 26—I'm not making this up!—26 different, positive hitting categories. If not for some bad injuries, he would be heading for the first, non-juicer Triple Crown since 1967. He also has 6 assists despite playing half the year with a bad arm, and 12 stolen bases. Without him, the Yankees would be dead last. It's ridiculous that people are even talking about the Big Dumper.

Hoss, I have a friend who is a huuuuuuuuuge yankee fan. He is considering the other guy.

I'd slap him, but I'm afraid he'd mistake me for Madame Wazuka from the local pleasure garden and try to snuggle with me.

I heard that the Yankees are 17-7 for their last (obviously) 24 games. Does that sound right? And yeah, Judge should be the MVP,no doubt. IMHO taking the record for most home runs for a switch-hitter is a meaningless record. Hell, some switch-hitter should hold all hitting records if it was so important!

We should also win the world series this year.

That would shock a few

Fried looked really good. And I agree with everyone about the MVP. Raleigh hits home runs. That's good. He catches, and does it well. That's good.

Then Judge buries him with every other offensive measure available. And if he gets penalized for having to DH due to an injury...well, the voters are assholes. Which they probably are, anyway.

No, I don't believe in luck.
No, I don't believe in circumstance no more.
Accidents never happen in a perfect world.
So I won't believe in luck.
