I agree with almost everything you said. And Jack Morris did deserve to be in the HOF. But I can name someone who IMHO deserved it even more and never got in---Maury Wills. He revolutionized the game. Why was he passed over?
Manny Ramirez, NL MVP??

43 157 29 63 12 14 44 .401 .745This morning, Mike and Mike nominated him for inclusion in the National League MVP discussions.
One of them said that if the season ended today, he'd be the first National Leaguer to finish the season with a .400 batting average in over 150 at bats since Bill Terry in 1930.
On the other hand, last Friday, in a close ballgame, he hit another 340 foot single off the right field wall that he had stood admiring when it left the bat, thinking he had hit an off field home run.

He can't be NL MVP. He's played 43 games. This from a guy who it wouldn't surprise anyone if he leaves Los Angeles. Ryan Howard-what's he's hitting 245? Delgado-I didn't think so a week or two ago when I posted something like this, and based on the past couple of days, no. I guess I'll stay with Ryan Braun. I don't know how he is doing but I guess he might be freefalling like the rest of the Brewers.
The guy's hitting .307 with runners on base and .320 with runners in scoring position, thus the 141 RBI thus far. He tends to come through when it matters. I would hope that the so-called experts who vote (the writers) would look a little deeper than a person's batting average (.247 after last night).
You know what, even I can't deny those are GREAT numbers, BUT a few things if I may ( inverse order of importance):1. Is the National League THAT weak that the MVP goes to a guy with 200 at bats?
2. So Me-Me pushed the Dodgers past the vaunted D-Backs, Rockies, Giants, and Padres
. Is this year's NL West going to make anyone forget this year's AL East? 3. I've said it on here probably a dozen times and I'll keep saying it: THE FACT THAT ME-ME IS PUTTING UP RUTHIAN NUMBERS WITH THE DODGERS PROVES WHAT A F-R-A-U-D HE REALLY IS!!! HE QUIT on his team and pouted like a wuss until he got traded and his 2009 option was ripped up. That's YOUR definition of an MVP??? I don't care about the numbers, and HOPEFULLY neither will the voters!
I'm on record (on this site) saying THIS is what I wanted to happen. Thanks Me-Me, you came through after all, and proved to the world what a POS fraud you really are!

I'm still sticking with Ryan Howard as my choice.
His numbers are ridiculous and he didn't exactly quit.
Honestly, I just wanted him to stink from the start, ala Herschel Walker with the Vikings.

Don't forget Scott Boras was a part of that, also.
Yup, and the Red Sox better not forget it either, considering how much they've kissed his arse over the years!
Especially the Nancy Drew contract.
Now they have Varitek up this year and Bay next, both Boras clients.
I'm surprised Bill went with the 'I want Manny to tear it up in L.A. so it can be proven he's a quitter' approach.
I would have gone with the 'Nice start fades fast' approach that we saw with Herschel Walker when he went to the Vikings.

I know what you're saying, but my theory is his outstanding performance in LA proves what a phoney he is. People forget the Red Sox sent Me-Me for an MRI on BOTH knees the day before he got traded, because Me-Me INSISTED he couldn't play in the huge Angels/Yankees homestand.
Oh BTW, Me-Me hasn't missed a game in LA. In fact, Torre wanted to give him a day off a few weeks ago, and Me-Me ever the team player
said no.
