August 22, 201016 yr Since I don't believe in superstitions, I thought I'd be perfect to start the thread... And Spindoc, come Wednesday I hope I'm seeing a new avatar when I log in. :thumb:
August 22, 201016 yr Author Couple observations from today's game: 1) Votto is about the most clutch hitter I've seen in a long long time. Just a boss. 2) Arroyo is getting darn close to automatic. 6-7 IP, 2-3 R max every outing. He's been en fuego! 3) I've never seen a hitter look as completely hopeless at the dish as Gomes has for the best month or so...He's been downright embarrassing. 4) Those of you clamoring for Heisey to be seeing more playing time, got a first-hand example of why he hasn't. Rough day for the talented youngster. 5) Boy am I glad Kershaw "owned" the Reds today. 6) I'm really going to miss the comments from the other planet that Patrick Starr lives in this week. 7) I really really hope I get to sport a new avatar after Wednesday, and at this point, I see no reason to think I won't be.
August 22, 201016 yr Author So which would be the MVP this year? If the Reds win the division, Votto. If the Cardinals win it, Pujols.
August 23, 201016 yr The Reds as of today have a record of 36-26 at home and 36-26 on the road. Only Tampa Bay 37-24 and San Diego 38-27 on the road, are better.

August 23, 201016 yr So which would be the MVP this year? How do you go wrong with either? I think this next month will see either one of them as the MVP. Team success will determine the award IMO. Here's hoping our guy gets it!

August 23, 201016 yr Author If anyone not named Joey Votto or Albert Pujols wins it, the voters should be put down....

August 23, 201016 yr So if was voted on today Votto would have to win. The tiebreaker is the Reds being in first place. I would agree that is the deciding factor, they are both very very close.
