Enough of this Yankees/Red Sox bullshit. The Tribe gets no respect. Just ask ESPN.
That's OK. We like being the underdogs.

for some reason i don't like watching teams that have been assembled with millions and
millions of dollars
i do, however, enjoy watching the individuals of those teams
just give me my A's, a low budget team that encompasses good, young players not yet
corrupted by the $'s that will enevitably be thrown at them after a year or two here
in the Bay Area
it's as close as you can get to raw, clean baseball in the Majors
________________________________________________________
here's my view...i like teams that spend a lot of money on players. it ensures that the talent is concentrated, ensuring a quality game from your team...or at least the potential for one.
In fact, this is the very reason i don't like college sports. games don't seem important; talent is limited; and you can't get anticipate successful years based on recruiting. With baseball, you can say, "oh we got vlad; we're in great shape." In college basketball you can say, "oh, we got joe franks...uh,is he tall?"
money, money, money all the way.

How about this argument that Ortiz is turning it on in September when it really counts?
Let's see if that holds water.

ARod in September : .327BA, .425OBP, .584SLG (1.009OPS), 7HR

so you're a bitter cardinals fan who wants upwards of 200 people to die so you won't have to read some baseball articles. wow.
Listen. ESPN is based in Connecticut. To the north and west are two of the biggest sports franchises in the country. part of the hype is regional, as ridiculous as that is. Part of it is due to the actual dollars that the rivalry/feud produces. You can find a decent contigent of red sox/yankee fans all across the country, and they visit the website in droves. this brings in a shitload of revenue and up the value of the advertizing across the board.
Also you have to factor the dramatic element. drama = money. There has been none in the central this year. Cardinals picked up from last year and tore through the division. You can say that they're lack of coverage (for the moment) is a result of their own success. come playoff time it WILL go up. All of a sudden something will be on the line, the site's viewship will spread out, depending on who's in and out, writers will make their picks (the cardinals presumably) and you'll be a happy little camper.

Ever hear of the "Paradox of Value"?? It goes something like this..
...although water is essential to life while diamonds have mostly aesthetic value, the price of water is vastly lower than that of diamonds...
meaning... A-Rod's total contribution to team wins, it appears to me, is less than Ortiz's contributions to team wins. That's enough of this shit.

What if the Yankees, Red Sox and Indians all finish with the same records?
The Yankees and Red Sox play in New York for the AL East title and the loser plays the Indians for the Wild Card berth on Tuesday. New York is at the Jake if the Yanks lose and the Tribe is at Fenway if the Red Sox lose.
Why, you might ask, is there a Wild Card playoff game when the Indians would have a half-game better record than the Yankees-Red Sox loser? MLB has determined that it would not be fair for a team that's tied for a division title at the end of the regular season to be displaced in the postseason by a second-place team. Thus, the mandatory Wild Card playoff game.

Ah, the beauty of selective memory!
The "clutch" hits are the ones you remember.
No one notices when ARod saves 2 runs in the 3rd inning with his glove. Or when he puts the Yanks way out in front early. Big Papi has benefitted from numerous opportunities in big situations. It's not ARod's fault his team doesn't need him to come through as much. Either way, he's played as well or better than Big Papi overall, big picture.

Fuck ESPN. Wanna know what I'm watching this weekend? Mets/Rockies bitches. Mets are finally young and exciting and may be the Cleveland Indians of next year.
As for MVP, as a neutral observer (again, Mets fan) I am going to pick Ortiz and I will tell you why.
*A-Rod is not clutch.*
Before I get hit with a barrage of stats, wait. All stats are misleading.
The real value of a player is measured by his impact on the team. Does A-Rod impact his team? No. Hell, A-Rod isn't even the best player on his team; Rivera is. Does Papi? Yes. [Defense? Bullshit.]
Right now, if I had the game on the line, and I need a hit, am I picking A-Rod? Surely you jest. A-Rod just accumulates stats. Ortiz WINS GAMES.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Papi goes oh for four on a night. He's done nothing for the team. It's happened.
When A-Rod goes oh for four on a night, he's most likely made AT LEAST one play that saved a run, possibly the game. It's happened.

Runners in Scoring Position:
Ortiz: .348BA, .456OBP, .582SLG, 1.038OPS
ARod: .292BA, .412OBP, .486SLG, .898OPS
That's clearly a big difference. I still don't feel it's a big enough difference to make up for everything ARod does overall. This isn't any revelation, obviously. People have been saying throughout this race that it's up to the voters to decide if Ortiz's "clutch" numbers are more valuable than ARod's peripherals and defense.
To me, equivalent homers, 20 points more BA, and gold-glove defense overcomes the clutch numbers.
And let's not forget that ARod plays half his games in a pitcher-friendly park, and Ortiz does quite the opposite. No one ever seems to mentions that.

Three way tie means Sox/Yankees play a one game series. The winner gets the East, and the loser plays Cleveland in another one game series.

Total runners on base during those at-bats:

ARod - 512
Percentage of RBIs per baserunner:
Ortiz - .1992
ARod - .1602
Yeah, you're right. ARod should be ashamed of the awful job he's done. That .03 more RBIs per baserunner clearly pushes Ortiz way ahead of everything else ARod did.

I agree Spook. I think most are just on the bandwagon so they can root for a team that has a chance of winning.
==================================
That's rich. I've spent 26 years on this planet. I've been watching baseball for 20 of them, and that's only because I couldn't grasp the subtleties of pinch hitting and the infield fly rule when I was four. And in all that time, I've been a Sox fan.
Bandwagon indeed.
Granted, since last October there's been a boom of Red Sox fans, with just about everyone saying "I was there from the beginning!" or "I was there at the game!" And yes, these late-comers are bandwagon fans that will jump to the Cardinals, or Astros, or Indians, or whatever team looks like it really has a good shot at taking the title in a given year.
But let's not confuse the two, and assume that most everyone here is a bandwagon fan. Let us not play that game.
Want some Indians love? I'm a Sox fan - obviously - and yes, I think it sucks that ESPN gave them the ass end of the headline biscuit. They've been a great team this year, particularly in this second half. Sabathia's got great stuff, Hafner is tight. Unfortunately, given the wild card situation, I can only say so much about them, because to ensure that my boys get to the playoffs, I need the Indians to become the Collapsing Mine Shaft White Sox's bitches this weekend, just to clear out that wild card spot. Just in case.
Although, fan loyalty and Yankee hatred aside, I'd much rather see the Red Sox and Indians advance.

Yes. There ARE only 2 teams in the country. The faster you come to terms with that, the better we all are.
And saying that Ortiz is worth 20 to 25 more wins to the Red Sox is patently ridiculous. That's a humongous number. That's like saying "I'd like to lose some weight this month. Something like maybe 600 pounds."

I still contend Manny means more to that team than Ortiz. Of course teams have to pitch to Ortiz, the risk of giving up a 2 run home run versus the slightly greater risk of giving up a solo shot still means they have to pitch to him.
I think without Manny the Red sox are a 70 win team, I think without Ortiz someone else would step up.

It's a factor, but it's not like A-Rod doesn't have protection.
Interesting how the first argument that anti-Rodriguez folk point out is "A-ROD'S GHEY; YOU LIKE SUCKING HIS DICK HAR HAR"
Fine, his avg w/RISP is way lower. Fine, defense has never really been a determining factor for MVP before. There's more to the MVP than game-winning hits (how about hits that prevent 'clutch' game-winning situations from happening?) and this year defense IS a factor.
And Varitek is the Red Sox leader, last I heard.

I still contend Manny means more to that team than Ortiz. Of course teams have to pitch to Ortiz, the risk of giving up a 2 run home run versus the slightly greater risk of giving up a solo shot still means they have to pitch to him.
I think without Manny the Red sox are a 70 win team, I think without Ortiz someone else would step up.

I think the MVP of the AL East is the Baltimore Orioles. They fucking sucked the last 2 months of the season. Practially giving the Yankees and Red Sox enough chances to win.

Yankees yes, Red Sox meh, Tribe no.
A-Rod = MVP. Runs saved by A-Rod's glove >= walk-off hits by Papi. Papi is a way more clutch hitter, though.
-------
Please.
Papi is a leader. Without him the Sox win about 20-25 less games.
A-Rod is a prima donna whose teammates don't like him. Without him, the Yankees win 5-10 less games.
A-Rod's disappears in big games. Papi thrives.
Papi = MVP

Am I the only one who hopes they give it to someone other than Ortiz or A-rod?

Lat year it was a great story with the Red Sox, but now, it's just getting old hearing about them. Just like the Yankees.
I hate both those teams.
Good job to the Braves for 14 straight.
