Only if you actually were dumb enough to expect anything from him, which I did not.

AL Cy Young Verlander close over Shields
NL Cy Young Jurrjens close over Halladay

AL MVP Adrian Gonzalez
NL MVP I'll say Jose Reyes, even though his team is at .500. He has been really really good and if he wasn't in that lineup the Mets would be about 18 games under .500

AL ROY Pineda
NL ROY No clue but I'll throw out a homer pick for Freddie Freeman

AL Comback Player ...
NL Comeback Player Chipper if he qualifies

AL Manager Acta close over Maddon for the Tribe's start although the Rays still being in contention is pretty good
NL Manager Kirk Gibson

lol. Well in that case....yeah. I hade some high fucking hopes for him. In fact, I have been really high on 5 players ever. CC, Lee, Phillips, Grady, and Druby (now also Lonnie Chisenhall). Hopefully the Chizz master ends up like the 4 players not named Grady in my list.

He shouldn't have cheated on Rihanna. He loses a lot of consideration for being an idiot.

For sure. He got what he wanted. Im sure he got the "Celeb" crush thing on her, and wanted to bang her. He did, and that was that. I would be stunned if he couldnt get much better looking women in LA, every night.

I might have missed something, but what exactly did Berkman come back from?

About the most horrendous year of his career and being half retired. The award is NOT an injury reward, despite what people always think. It just typically goes to an injury player cause they usually are the ones with horrible/irrelevant years.

Miguel Cabrera is making a push in the AL right now. No one is close to Gonzalez, imo. But Bautista and now Cabrera are on the rise.

I still have Kemp as my NL MVP....but Reyes is closing ground pretty fast.

Reyes National League Rank:

FIRST

Runs
Hits
Doubles
Triples
Batting Average

SECOND

Stolen Bases
Total bases

THIRD

extra base hits


Damn significant....Kemp stays above as his OPS and power numbers are excellent as well as being very good in all the stats I listed for Reyes, .....and also plays excellent defense. But if Reyes continues on his Ty Cobb tear....Kemp will have to make the playoffs to beat him for the season.

AL CY Young: Justin Verlander...81 hits and 124 k's in 128+ innings is just crazy. 0.84 Whip is unreal

NL CY Young: Clayton Kershaw... It would be hard to argue with Roy H, but 88 hits in 116+ innings is great for Clayton. Not as much talent with him compared to Halliday

NL MVP: Jose Reyes: Kemp has been outstanding but an OPS of .918 while only hit 3 homers is amazing. Add in the premier defensive position that Reyes plays and I give him the nod.

AL MVP: Adrian Gonzalez: Bautista has a case, but AGon is killing it.

NL Comeback: Lance Berkman

AL Comeback: Bartolo Colon

NL Manager: Kirk Gibson

AL Manager: Joe Maddon

Gonzo will have to fall off of his Ted Williams pace before others can win.

Not a chance right now IMO. His power stats are comparable to Miggy and Bautista, but their averages blow his .275 out of the water. Gonzo is just way ahead right now.
