Verlander received 13 of 28 first-place votes and 280 points in voting
announced by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Ellsbury was
second with 242 points (4 first-place votes, 13 second-place votes). He hit .321 with 32 homers, 105 RBIs, 39 stolen bases and 119 runs
scored, all career highs. His .928 OPS ranked him in the top 10 in the
majors.



He became the first Boston player to hit 30 homers and steal 30
bases in a season and led the major leagues with 364 total bases and 83
extra-base hits. He was third in the AL with 212 hits, and tied for
third in runs and doubles.
In the field, the speedy Ellsbury did not make an error in 394 chances
last season, the only center fielder in the AL and one of just two in
the majors who did not make an error while playing at least two-thirds
of his team's games.


It stands to reason that voters might have been impacted by the
September collapse of the Red Sox, asking themselves how they could vote
for a player whose team blew the biggest final-month lead in baseball
history.

“We all know Verlander’s year was pretty incredible with his
numbers and he deserves the attention he’s getting,” 2008 AL MVP Dustin
Pedroia told ESPNBoston.com. “He had an unbelievable season, but in my
opinion, he pitched 34 games and Ells played 158, so I think if a
pitcher should win it he should impact, in those 34 games, in an
extraordinary amount of the time and he did that, no question. But Ells
impacted a lot more than 34 games for our team.



“But that’s why it’s fun for everybody. Everybody can say,
‘pitchers should win it,’ or ‘pitchers shouldn’t win it.’ It’s fun for
the fans, it’s fun for the media and it’s fun for everybody. But it’s
pretty difficult to see a guy finish second. It kind of stinks.”

Yea if he slipped and it was a perfect pass, who knows what would happen

and if Prince didnt slip it wouldnt matter how perfect the ball was thrown

Then again I dont know what happens in alternate universes so I cant tell you guys what would go down, sorry

[/quote]Kiwi isnt the typical cover 2 LB but he's done a damned good job so far especially without Boley. And running a cover 2, if Smith goes to Ross' zone shouldnt he pick up the WR??

and i hate when ppl say things like "we dont have a tradition of mean streaks, or dirty players, that's not the kind of team we are."</P>


**** that....i dont want the tradition of ****ing losing either.

<FONT color=#0000ff>get*ANGRY* get WINs or get LOST.</FONT></P>[/quote]I ****ing love that man !!![/quote]Right on! It took me this long to even look at the boards today. I think I am going to need therapy because of Desean Jackson last year and last night. The deja vu I experienced on that return almost made me puke. Wtf or where the **** was our team last night. The defense played the majority of the game(36 minutes). Where was the pass rush leading the league in sacks? Only 1 sack? 29 rushing yards and not converting 3rd downs(5/14 35%)--was horrific.....and we still could of won that game.

If Papelbon doesn't blow that save and if the Yankees hold a 7 run lead in the 8th inning on the last day of the season, Ellsbury would be the MVP. And who is really to say if Jacoby Ellsbury or Verlander are the MVP?</P>


This is the folly of awards. It could be the MVP, the golden glove, the superbowl MVP, the Hall of Fameetc... It doesn't matter because the awards really don't matter. They are popularity contests of writers who don't play the game and many never have. They don't change or even define what happens on the field. The only thing that matters is what we see on the field. the only thing that matters is the performances we see as we apply our own standards. That is the ultimate reality. That is the ultimate truth.</P>

its a stupid ****in article. Offenses game plan so that they can get matchups with their WRs on LB. What LBs can cover a small fast WRs. Im going to have to rewatch that.

But to say he should have his hand in the ground is stupid, Kiwi has been ballin out at LB.
