On that note, Ron Belliard can go drown in a well.

What if by some chance the Sox don't make the playoffs? Is he still MVP?

In my mind, no.

I thought this was an amazing stat:

Quote:

Ortiz homered off Josh Towers (11-11), the 17th time he has tied a game or put the Red Sox ahead. Eight of those have come in the seventh inning or later.

Eight game-tying or go-ahead HR's in the 7th inning or later...17 all together...my god...MVP for this guy, no doubt.

how many walk offs those Ortiz have?? (career)

I think so too.

But if the Sox do make the playoffs.... anyone who follows baseball should have no problem naming him MVP. The only other guy I've seen change games like he does is Bonds.

Reason #1 why I love the Pro Baseball forum: Fans of opposing teams giving credit, where credit is due.
