Bad Fucking Joke Wins AL MVP

I never want to hear another fucking word from Red Sux fans bitching about Scooter being in the Hall of Fame when he doesn't deserve it. Talk about not deserving something:

Boston Red Sox second baseman Dustin Pedroia has won the American League Most Valuable Player award.

Pedroia got 16 of the 28 first-place votes and easily beat out Minnesota slugger Justin Morneau.

Pedroia became the first AL second baseman to win the award since Nellie Fox in 1959.

Five players drew first-place votes. Record-setting closer Francisco Rodriguez got one of them and finished sixth overall.

Bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit.

Look at these two lines and tell me who more deserves the MVP:

Avg: .326 .321
OBP: .376 .436
SLG: .493 .563
OPS+: 122 163
HRs: 17 22
RBI: 83 77

Hmm... tough call, eh? Neither look like world beaters, really. But what if you knew the guy in the second column amasses those totals in only 126 games as opposed to 157 games for the guy in column one? Shit. Column two guy had a much better season than column one guy! Right?

Congratulations, you correctly picked Milton Bradley as a more viable MVP candidate than Dustin Pedroia. Bradley actually finished 17th in MVP balloting. When you cannot amass enough stats to differentiate yourself from a guy who missed a whole fucking month of the season, how are you the goddam MVP?

This isn't even one of those times where the choice sparks worthwhile controversy. All this pick does is shit all over everyone who legitimately earned the award. The fact is if Pedroia didn't play for Boston (or the Yankees) he never would have been seriously considered as MVP caliber.

What a fucking joke.
