I think this year's AL Comeback Player award will be very interesting, between Mussina, Cliff Lee, and Josh Hamilton.
Kudos KCK,
your team accomplished something that I've never seen my team do, in my lifetime!
Wasn't the Comeback OTY suppose to go to players that were unable to play the previous year due to injury ?
Not just poor play from the previous year ?
Jimbo
Thanks, Bill. The bullseye on the Angels' backs now just got a whole lot bigger.
Jimbo,
I'm NOT positive , but I think it can go to any player that didn't perform well (for whatever reason) the year before.
KCK,
at the risk of sounding boastful, is there any doubt that our series is the premier series out of the four?
You have the best team of 2008 going against the defending World Champions, plus as I've said before IMO, the best two teams of THIS decade.
Then that is not a "Comeback Player of the Year", it is a
"Comeback as I played like sh*t Last Year " award.
Basically it means NOTHING if that's the case.
Jimbo
I just googled it and this is what it says (BTW, I agree with you
):" The award recognizes players who have "re-emerged" as a player during a single season."

Too bad, sounds like it was a decent award that went to a person that was injured ... now it sounds like, hey, I had a bad year last year, if I do well this year I can win it award
Jimbo
No doubt, Bill. It promises to be a whale of a series. I want it to go the distance, too. Let's really duke it out!:devil:
Problem is, this match up SHOULD be for the rights to go to the WS, not the next round.
Jimbo
Does anybody think the Tigers will just "phone it in"? They played an 11 inning game and then have to fly to Chicago on short notice to play a day game (traditionally a no-no following travel) that means nothing to them, and then reconnect back to Detroit, when they all had plans to blow town.
Yup it's the Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz team:
CF- Crisp
SS- Cora
DH- Carter
LF- Bailey
1B- Casey
3B- Lowrie
RF- Van Every
C- Cash
3B- Velazquez
BTW KCK,
don't start dreaming about seeing this lineup on Wednesday night.
true about the Tigers . . . but its one of those things to be known as the team who ruined it for others . . .
