yes... the whole red sox team has heart... Schilling has the most heart on the team... in my mind.. he has more heart than Jeter... the reason the cardinals and Yankees didn't play well is because the Red Sox pitchers shut them down for the most part... so the red Sox caused them to play bad with they're pitching... they just didn't play bad when a pitcher was throwing balls straight down the plate... they got shut down...

Barry Bonds won the NL MVP...horrible.
Baseball Writers Association of America and MLB need to figure out wtf the MVP award means. Is it the Most Valuable Player in the League? Is it the player that is most Valuable to his team? They need to set some sort of guidelines, or create 2 separate MVP awards. Barry Bonds had another awesome season, no doubt about that. But how did Adrian Beltre not get more votes? Because of the stupid voting process for "MVP", which is left open to interpretation!
Some people vote by "most valuable to the team" and others vote "most valuable in the league"...I truly believe that Adrian Beltre deserved this honor for 2004. He had tremendous numbers all around.
I just wish that they would say "The MVP award is for the player that is most valuable in the league" or "The MVP award is for the player that is most valuable to his team". That prolly wouldn't do anything anyways, huh? Everyone gonna vote however they want to vote.

Yup, without Bonds, the Giants would've been a last place team. If the Astros' didn't have Beltran, they would've finished 2nd most likely or even still made it to the playoffs. I applaud the writers for looking past the problems a lot of them have had with Bonds and realizing that he deserves the award.

Naw, not Carlos Beltran...I said Adrian Beltre, of the Dodgers...I completely agree that Bonds was the MVP of the Giants...but I don't think he was the MVP of the National League...my complaint isn't necessarily that Bonds won the MVP...this is my main complaint:
The Baseball Writers Association of America and MLB need to establish a guideline when voting for the MVP award. Some ppl vote for the person that helps their team the best, others vote on who performed beyond expectations throughout the league. They need to reach a decision on which to vote for, or create two different MVP awards. Bonds did as well as 90% of the baseball world expected. But Beltre had a spectacular season compared to his career.
I have nothing against Barry Bonds or the Giants...so that's not my reason I didn't want him to win. Bonds is one of the greatest hitters of all time, we all know that...so we expect him to do good. Beltre has been a pretty good player, but this year he was extraordinary for his standards....does that clear up my post any better? If not, I can attempt to elaborate more...
yea that definetly cleared it up for me..i still say bonds deserved over beltre....im not sure if baseball writers vote that particular way...i think alot of MVP canidates are beltre types where they performed beyond there expectations but to me bonds was more valuable to his team than beltre...beltre had a great year and im not trying to take anything away from him but thats just how i see it

It was a shame that the team didn't offer any interest on Percy. But I guess they are pushing to have K-Rod or Donnelly to be our closer.
Anyone has a clue as to why Pedro is talking to King George???

Not that I necessarily agree with it, but it's sorta interesting as to why Pedro should leave
