I thought he had one as well. But closest he came was 2nd in 05.

years of hearing the mvp chant and you just assume he got one

That was the year he should have won it. 06 the Sox kind of sucked IIRC.

06 the Sox were pretty good up until that August 5 game weekend series with the Yankees, where I think the Yankees won all 5 games by a combined score of about 75-10...and while that's an exaggeration, it's probably not as much of one as you might think at first look

after that series, the team went into the tank

Yeah, I just remember them bringing in people off the streets to start games at the end of the year.

A-Rod was better than Ortiz in 05.

I remember sitting at AT&T Park talking to a Giants fan in August of 2006 and he had the local paper with him. He showed me a write up in the sports section about Ortiz's crazy numbers w/RISP. He was hitting something like .750 in those situations that year, at least at that time.

Ugh Farrell.

that's awesome

NBC sports shared a link on Facebook calling that the 'play of the year'. Bullshit.

So apparently I witnessed Benintendi's first major league start and hit in Seattle. Pretty cool.

chud retweeted this, but it's worth it to share it for everyone else:

Dustin Pedroia has 11 hits in his last 11 at bats. One more consecutive hit ties the major league record.

Imagine you get cancer and THEN you have to talk to Dave O'Brien.

That was so awkward.

Moncada coming up on Friday.

Pedroia is the smartest hitter in baseball right now; he's hitting the ball into every hole the defense gives him. Then again, it's the A's.

Porcello perfect through 5.

Nice one, Dave O'Brien.
