If you love baseball and actually have a problem with Cabrera winning....you really just need to burn in hell.

Both were good choices. It's silly to be upset that the triple crown winner won MVP.

Posey kind of surprises me. I thought it was going to go to Braun again

NL kind of turned into a weak crowd this year.

1. Braun had the best year, but with the 'roid thing hanging over his head, no way he'd win.

2. Votto started out best, but missed a huge chunk of the season with an injury and didn't have the same numbers (particularly production-wise) when he returned.

3. McCutchen moved into first when Votto got hurt, especially considering that he was on fire for about a 3-month period. But he was pedestrian over the final two months as the team collapsed.

So, there you have Posey!

With how pro sports is now a days with their MVP awards, you should have simply said "the giants won the world series"

Braves apparently have a deal with Bossman Junior, pending a physical. Good consolation for not resigning Bourn.

Give up a first rounder and sign a guy with a sub-.300 OBP? In a pitcher's park? No thanks. Interesting to see what the terms of the deal are. They already struck out with A) the choice of player and B) the loss of a draft pick. Strike 3 would be overpaying him...which they likely did...

5 years with option for a 6th. 250,000 a year. Hope that is good enough for you.


They also get a draft pick from Bourn. Derp.

Haha, 5 years/70-75M?

You gotta be kidding. Automatically one of the worst contacts in the league...

And the 250k is a joke, they haven't announced terms other than years.

Someone brings up anything slightly negative, even when it's clearly not trolling and just conversation, about one of your teams and you respond with a butthurt response. It just makes me laugh, that's all

There's a difference between slightly negative and wrong/inaccurate.

Nothing was inaccurate. I posted the terms of the deal. I posted that they give up a first rounder. I posted that the deal is terrible considering Upton's track record (and age).

Obviously that opinion doesn't sit well with a Braves fan...
