October 4, 200619 yr Forget the regular season MVP. Let's track who is getting it done when it truly counts. AL MVP looks like it's between Morneau and Jeter but I'll even add the Big Hurt in there. This should leave zero doubt... Game 1: Morneau: 0-4 Jeter: 5-5, HR, 2 Doubles, 1 RBI Thomas: 3-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI's

Hey sticky, the Reds are about to get HOT!
October 4, 200619 yr I agree on Jeter right now, the game he had last night was an example of what a pure baseball player should be in every sense of the word. Thomas also had a big game but I"ll put my bets on Jeter due to his playoff history. Pure clutch and class all the way.
October 4, 200619 yr Author Gotta give Frank the nod, he did it against the league's best! Hey sticky, the Reds are about to get HOT! Absolutely, Thomas is definitely the game 1 winner. Actually, the Reds have been hot since Monday afternoon. Griffey, Clayton, Freel and I'm sure many others head to Florida. Dunn heads to Texas. It's still hot in those place...right?
October 4, 200619 yr Hard to separate Jeter and Thomas. One sets the table and the other, clears the table. If I heard correctly, in between McCarver's education diatribe, the comment was Jeter, had the 6th-5 hit game in playoff history.... Thomas has the ability to carry the A's.
October 4, 200619 yr Author If I heard correctly, in between McCarver's education diatribe, the comment was Jeter, had the 6th-5 hit game in playoff history.... He's still a moron... Fox should never be allowed to air sporting events again. Jeanne Zelasko and Tim McCarver in the same night...:creepy: :creepy:
October 4, 200619 yr He's still a moron...He's baseball intelligent and certainly at times, he over-emphasizes a point. He can take a simple 5 second response and talk about for innings....I do like some of his comments but I watch TV games, as a fan and not to get educated in every aspect of the game, which he tends to attempt. How much will the playoffs go toward, determining the MVP or will it take away votes from the ones you mentioned and let some others make it a close race. I think one can certainly help themselves, more than hurt themselves....
October 4, 200619 yr Come on guys... you give McCarver too much credit. :sssh: Jeter is the MVP. I'll take clutch over power anytime.

October 4, 200619 yr :scared:Oh, S3. I can't believe you said that. That's OK. I still trust your knowledge. I would like to add that McCarver is to baseball as BBQ sauce is to lasagna, it's just not good.
October 4, 200619 yr S3, my respect for you has just somewhat waned!:cry:Because.... :scared:Oh, S3. I can't believe you said that. That's OK. I still trust your knowledge. I would like to add that McCarver is to baseball as BBQ sauce is to lasagna, it's just not good.Which part, about the watching or McCarver.
October 4, 200619 yr Because.... Which part, about the watching or McCarver. Oh, my!!!!:eek: McCarver is the single most annoying presence in the booth,,,,,ever! What's next S3? You'll be promoting Chris Welsh to do This Week In Baseball?
October 4, 200619 yr Which part, about the watching or McCarver. No fair! That's a loaded question. Watching and listening to McCarver is a pain, sometimes. I tend to block him out and just watch the game. I usually listen on the XM when Fox carries the games.
October 4, 200619 yr Oh, my!!!!:eek: McCarver is the single most annoying presence in the booth,,,,,ever! What's next S3? You'll be promoting Chris Welsh to do This Week In Baseball? .....:lol: I like you're Oh My, mine has more emphasis though.... Let me re-phrase my McCarver comments. He does know the game of baseball, I'm just not interested in hearing it constantly.... As for Welsh, I think he tries his best and like any of us, makes mistakes. Back to the MVP discussion....do you like Jeter, Thomas, Ortiz or others?
