He's pretty good. Still didn't deserve the MVP last year.

Was just watching this. So awesome.

@NickSeam ---- I understand Trout put together a great piece of work....but dude, Trip Crown.

@NickSeam you are on crack, good sir. crack.

@FrankScropio Triple Crown is irrelevant. One bad pitch to Josh Hamilton and he doesn't win it. RBIs are team dependent and Batting Average is not the ideal measure of a hitter's prowess.

discussed at length here: http://mlkshk.com/p/LBS7

Even as a non-hockey fan, I think this is pretty cool..

@NickSeam you just sound like a butt-hurt Angels fan to me.

As a butthurt Angels fan I agree with @NickSeam. It wasn't even Cabrera’s best year ever hitting. It was like his fifth. Trout had offensive numbers that have never been done before. Ever. By anyone. And of course players play defense too!

@cowboycoffee Boy that's definitely not true. I hate Mike Scioscia and every time the Angels lost to the Red Sox in the playoffs, it made my heart do a dance.

You can't just say "Triple Crown!" and expect everyone to be ok with that as a measuring stick for the MVP. Mike Trout was a better player in almost every measurable way and any rational mind can see that he clearly deserved it.

If the MVP is not about recognizing baseball's best player then just say so. Just say we want to give the MVP to whoever does something historically significant or interesting or relevant 60 years ago when we didn't have people, like me, who understand math and statistics. Say that and you won't have to read countless rants like this.

Apologies to @Paladin677 for the fact that I basically detest the Angels for competing with the Dodgers on trying to become the west coast Yankees, which is something that no one should aspire to.

@cowboycoffee And for the record, Justin Verlander didn't deserve the MVP either.

@NickSeam I didn't say Triple Crown.

If you'd like me to say something, I'll say this: This is an award voted on by the Baseball Writers Association of America. Sportswriters that live baseball every day. If you think you know better than them, I suggest strapping explosives to your butt-hurt self and running into their headquarters.

@cowboycoffee Triple Crown is all anyone has said, it's the only thing they can say. If one starts actually looking at the numbers it becomes impossible to justify Cabrera as the choice. I would welcome you to try, but given that I know you are a Detroit fan and you are clearly biased, I doubt it would make much difference.

By and large members of the BBWAA are antiquated idiots who refuse to acknowledge modern statistical analysis and do stupid things like 'vote with their gut', I would gladly put my knowledge up against theirs.

@NickSeam i don't know man, i don't see anywhere that says the award goes to the most statistically superior player. Reads to me as the Most Valuable Player. And I do believe there should be a certain amount of gut in the voting process.

Maybe they should come up with a special award for the best guy according to the numbers and award that separately. I would call that the MSPPBHF or Most Statistically Perfect Player for Butt Hurt Fans. How's that sound?

@cowboycoffee That's what the MVP is supposed to be. The Hank Aaron award can go to the guy who led three meaningless statistical categories and watched strike 3 go by him in game 4 of the world series.

@NickSeam I don't know what to tell you, dude. There's really nothing i can do about it. If your butt ever heals up, i suggest YOU do something about it. Sounds like you actually care about this. So, while I don't necessarily agree with your stance, i do wish you and your butt all the best. Go get em, Tiger.

@cowboycoffee So glad we could have this intellectual discussion.

@NickSeam you're welcome.

Carlo is being sassy.

No, don't beat Carlo! He's a nice guy!

@bigredcat thanks! dealing with football bullies my whole life, it seems.

@cowboycoffee I got your back, Jack. :)

Ain't no muggle brew!

It'll Gitchigoomee!

@chicobangs bravo!

For a second I thought she was holding a cell phone to her ear, and got really confused about what was going on.

Someone should make a Vine on Vine St, but I'm sure that's already been done.

Is this in Hollywood? I can't place it.

Also, that woman in the black dress looks like a total bombshell.

oh *my*.

do you come here often?
