Ok, I'll bite. First off I agree with you, and Murphy, and Cabell. As of
right now there can be no other choice for MVP than Guerrero. I also
agree with Mr Marcus that the award should go to an everyday player.
However, as for single-handedness, dont you think the Dodger pitchers
deserve at least a little bit of the credit? I mean, they only lead
the league in team era, probably shutouts also. They have been doing
their job the entire year, not just since June. As for Guerrero being
bitter, this is the first Ive heard of it. Nor have I ever heard anybody
say anything except that he is an exceptional athlete, just not a
very good third baseman. Guerrero apparently agrees, so what has he
got to be bitter about? BTW, gonna be a great series this weekend,
(NY-LA)!! Dont nobody blink.
