[StandMyBrothers]

[NetNerdsRevenge]

I promise promise promise I will have something for Monday. I need to stop being lazy.

I promise promise promise I will have something for Monday. I need to stop being lazy.

yeah, i've been busy as hell but I'm going to try and put something really good together for Monday.

[Broken Parachute]

I was writing an album review last night otherwise I would have done mine, I keep forgetting..I'm sorry.

[fire on my lips]

how often do you plan on doing it (Hot Corner)?

[xbrokendownx]

how often do you plan on doing it (Hot Corner)?






every monday and thursday i think

[fire on my lips]

wow, i didnt realize it was that often. I figured it would be once a week or something.
When I have time, I'll write something about the World Cup or soccer in general, if you'd like me to.

that'd be great.

If it is too difficult, we may just have it for only Mondays. There is so much we can write about besides round-ups. The main thing I wanted for Thursday is like a weekend preview

[justinevans]

can anybody list their midseason awards?

yeah, I'll just take a consensus.

[Chriz2z]

yeah, I'll just take a consensus.
Should we just post them here, or send them to you?

[bigmike]

Should we just post them here, or send them to you?
i say just post them in here.
same with the baseball power rankings.

[justinevans]

in here is fine.

AL ROY: Jonathan Papelbon

it was such a close call between webb and arroyo for me.

[LeftWideOpen]

it was such a close call between webb and arroyo for me.

i love bronson but i had to give it to webb ..lower ERA, two less losses, less walks, more k's (even though its just 2). Bronson plays for the slightly better team but unlike the MVP, I don't consider the quality of the team you play for in the Cy Young race.

[StandMyBrothers]

AL MVP: Jim Thome CWS
NL MVP: Albert Pujols STL

AL Cy Young: Johan Santana MIN
NL Cy Young: Brandon Webb ARI

AL ROY: Francisco Liriano MIN
NL ROY: Ryan Zimmerman WSH, but I do think Fielder, Hermida, (is weeks a rookie), and Uggla will battle it out at the end of the season

[xbrokendownx]

hermida has 2 HRs and 17 RBIs...

[StandMyBrothers]

Hermida has been hurt for more than 3/5 the season.

[xbrokendownx]

Hermida has been hurt for more than 3/5 the season.





exactly, meaning he shouldnt be considered for ROY

[StandMyBrothers]

exactly, meaning he shouldnt be considered for ROY
Meaning wait for the season till end. Francouer got in the top 5 voting and only played half a season.

yeah, but arroyo is pitching in that tiny hitters park in cincy, though.

[Chriz2z]

AL MVP: Jim Thome, CHW
NL MVP: Albert Pujols, STL

AL Cy Young: Roy Halladay, TOR
NL Cy Young: Brandon Webb, ARI

AL Rookie of the Year: Francisco Liriano, MIN
NL Rookie of the Year: Ryan Zimmerman, WSH

[LeftWideOpen]

AL MVP: Jim Thome, CHW
NL MVP: Albert Pujols, STL

AL Cy Young: Roy Halladay, TOR
NL Cy Young: Brandon Webb, ARI

AL Rookie of the Year: Francisco Liriano, MIN
NL Rookie of the Year: Ryan Zimmerman, WSH

I almost said Halladay, but I couldnt look past Johan's insane amount of K's.

[Chriz2z]

I almost said Halladay, but I couldnt look past Johan's insane amount of K's.
I spent 20 minutes debating that. I had Johan in there at first, but they're so close in ERA and WHIP but Halladay had two more wins, so I gave it to him.

[StandMyBrothers]

man too bad Liriano is going to be gone by the second round in drafting next year, same with Papelbon.

[fluke182]

AL MVP: Jim Thome (If Minnesota keeps closing it's going to be hard to argue against Mauer or even Liriano here though, although it's EXTREMELY unlikely they can get the WC or the Division win)
NL MVP: Pujols is the Cardinals
AL Cy Young: Roy Halladay (If I was going to give it to a Twin, I'd give it to Liriano, and he'll likely win it at the end of the year)
NL Cy Young: Brandon Webb (Battle of attrition if you ask me)
AL Rookie of the Year: Francisco Liriano (Papelbon rocks, but Liriano is legendary)
NL Rookie of the Year: Dan Uggla

With that said, I'm behind at work, I was planning on writing a Young Players of the Western Divisions article, but I'll write it when I can get to it. A Futures article if you will.
