OK, who put Papelbon on their ballot? Fess up.
OK, who put Papelbon on their ballot?
I was thinking the same thing...
Not me!
The Infamous George King, who screwed Pedro out of the MVP in 1999, voted Hernandez fifth, and the Cash Cow first. Dumbass.
I appreciate that the bloggers gave more credit to Cliff Lee and Tim Lincecum than the Buaah (that's phonetic). I really didn't appreciate seeing Lincecum in 11th and Lee in 7th!!!
Those two were fifth and first in their respective leagues in fangraphs WAR.
Amy?
Ha, you know it wasn't me! :)
Oh, you mean George A. King III?
Pompous shitdouche.
What a fucking fuckwit that guy is. Fucks Pedro in 99 with the excuse that he doesn't think pitchers should be eligible for the MVP. Which is a violation of the rules all by itself (voters cannot make new rules all by their lonesome), but okay, we will let that slide ...
Then we learn that the asshole had David Wells and Rick Helling on his MVP ballot in 1998 -- i.fucking.e., THE PREVIOUS FUCKING GODDAMN YEAR!!!!!!!!!
