Pujols wins it, did we ever doubt?

I don’t think so… I mean he had a great season. This is his third MVP award… Huh…

 

The only thing that bugs me is that reporters tried to put some suspence in the race. “Oh Hanley is so close! Oh Howard is up there! Oh it’s going to be ADRIAN PETERSON!” come on now… Was there any doubt at all that the Machine would bring another piece of hardware home? I don’t think so. As some of us would say, “The unanimous vote OWND the reporters”

 

Anyway… I hear Chicago White Sox are looking into Crisp. I wouldn’t like to see him leave the Royals. I didn’t like to see him leave the Indians or Sox either… He justs fits in with any team he plays with. That doesn’t come along often. I am sure some people still think that Ortiz fit well in with the Twins, or the other way around. Anyway I don’t know if Crisp is a free agent or not, I just didn’t look. I had planned on it but never got to it today.

 

ANYWAY I am working on a Through The Mail Autograph project. 100 cards before the end of the school year… they have to be either ads, cards, or inspirational cards that players like Mike Matheny send out. No peksy decoys this time. I only have about 5 more months to accomplish this goal, and today I finished my first sheet which holds 9 cards. Today I recieved a personal best 3  ttms, and after being “shut down” by Dusty Coleman (he left before my letter arrived) seeing Rick Cerone, Jimmy Key, and Sparky Anderson signatures in my mailbox. I believe Sparky signs about 93% of the time. Just by his signature he is getting up there in age. I thank him greatly for this great addition to my collection

Bandwagon ball has ended last night

Now I was rooting for the Phills but after they went down 3-2 games I just gave up watching… being the biggest baseball fan in the area I refused to watch the last 2 games, which was weird but now I can recover and wait for the new Twins season.

 

The bandwagon ball? Come on we all know that ONE guy who bandwagons one of those teams… and call him out for it when he strikes back with some ridiculous statement to sound cool… Something to the effect of “Your a bandwagon (in my case New Orleans Saints fan, which isn’t true) fan” or 26 (now 27) time world champions!” or the classic “Your just jealous because my team is better.” I have heard it ALL and nothing is usually new… About the newest statement I have heard in a defense was “Well I don’t know the history, but I am still a fan.” You kinda need to know the history TO be a fan… I am lucky because here in Minnesota we respect the baseball ancestors especially from the 80s and 90s. I don’t see much of this from the Yankees and whatever else teams.

 

So in anticipation for 2010,  I have been parading around in my teams clothes… Twins and Nationals. But one thing that I don’t have to wait that long for (it feels like forever) is the annoucing of the 2009 AL/NL MVP which of course will be Joe Mauer (he already won AL POY, Upper Midwest POY and a buncha other cool things) and Albert Pujols (who won the NL POY).

 

Thanks for reading!

Big Mac to be Cardinals Hitting Coach

Ha! I know I said I wouldn’t blog until Wednesday, but my former childhood hero (still one of my favorite players, but Hamilton owns the spot now… it has nothing to do with steroid alligations) but it was very exciting because as mentioned in an earlier post, I had said that the Twins will host 2 exhibition games at Target Field to start the season, this means that fans have an oppurtunity to see Albert Pujols, and Mark McGuire (granted that both of them attend) with Joe Mauer. AL/NL MVP in one stadium… I hope to attend but Tickets have not gone on sale yet for this truely epic battle. Now I do know that Pujols may not be playing because there isn’t really a gain if they win, but still… Mac may not be there period, but if they are and I miss them I will be sad…

 

Ha I remember when Mac retired and Pujols came into play… I was sad yet glad… huh… seeing the “Modern King” (which would have been Mac) with the “New Leader” (being Pujols) I would love to see it
