Also, because I wasn't here on Tuesday when it was announced: DICKEY!

WOO TO THE MOTHERF**KING HOO!

(Please, please, please don't trade him, Sandy. Pretty please. Unless you can get Mike Trout, then I begrudgingly accept it.)

Responses:

The MVP vote was a more accurate assessment of NL pitchers. -- nm - David Nov 16, 09:58 12
- The AL MVP winner also tilted to inferior player. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:08
- That always kills me. This guy finished 5th in CY...but was the first pitcher in MVP....c'mon. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:59 10
  - Sportswriters are dumb. I'm just glad they were dumb in favor of the guy I like. - musubi Nov 16, 10:02 2
    - Joey Votto got a bunch of votes for playing half a season. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 10:07 1
      - IIRC, three sportswriters left Cano completely off their ballot. That's bananas. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:10
  - There were also 35 NL players who received MVP votes. That's the most since 1969. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:01 6
    - I could not come up with 35 names between the 2 leagues...... - groiny Nov 16, 10:02 5
      - If you're ever bored and looking for a time killer... - David Nov 16, 10:08 2
        
        I can see Angel Pagan getting a vote, should have got more, but Pence? - amoxy Nov 16, 10:15 1
        
        Yeah. Pence is just dumb-assery. - musubi Nov 16, 10:19
      - Chipper got a 10th place vote from a local writer, I guess.....Angel Pagan got on from SF....etc etc. - Will Hunting Nov 16, 10:05 1
        
        Rosenthal gave Chipper the tenth place vote. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:11
It's nice and all, but his value will never be higher....and you're not winning in 2013 with him....why not trade him? - Will Hunting Nov 16, 09:58 1
- See my post to groiny. Yours is the reasonable, rationale, and most likely correct path to take. But eff that. - musubi Nov 16, 10:00
I would trade a 38 year old SP in a heartbeat for anything resembling a decent package. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 09:57 16
- While this is a reasonable and rationale stance and probably the "right" one. Eff that noise. My affinity for RA goes beyond rationality. - musubi Nov 16, 09:58 15
  - Every word you've ever said goes beyong rationality. -- nm - David Nov 16, 09:59 14
    - Coming from the guy who advocates giving the best pitcher award to a guy who pitched 70 innings.... (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:01 13
      - Now hit him with the Derek Lowe Punch. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:04 2
        
        Over-agressive. You only use the haymaker when you need it. - musubi Nov 16, 10:06
        
        which you already may have... - Mel Profit Nov 16, 10:06
      - Fun fact: RA Dickey gave up more earned runs on April 18th than K did for the entire season. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:03 9
        
        Fun Fact, RA Dickey pitched about 3.5 times more innings than Kimbrel did over the course of the season. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:04 8
        
        And yet even if he had only pitched on April 18th, he -still- would have given up more runs. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:09 7
        
        But thankfully, he did pitch more innings. Like way more. WAY WAY WAY WAY MORE. And that sir, has WAYWAYWAY more value. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:11 6
        
        Obviously not. Why else would K finish higher in the MVP balloting? - David Nov 16, 10:12 5
        
        Same way that Robby Cano gets left off some AL sportswriters ballots: they're dumb. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:13 4
        
        I *know*! Just look at how badly they screwed up the NL Cy Young voting! - David Nov 16, 10:15 3
        
        Kershaw was pretty good, but it wasn't a screw up. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:18 2
        
        Just tip your cap. You know the deal. -- nm - David Nov 16, 10:19 1
        
        Obstinate suits you. Don't ever change. (nm) - musubi Nov 16, 10:21
