I wouldn't be surprised if that is where he heard the song.

Gardner, Damon, and Jeter get on base 7 times and the Yankees can only get 2 runs. The "heart" of the order really stunk it up tonight. MAN!

He, along with Geise, Rasner and probably Kennedy are better suited to the big NL parks and the NL West in particular. Maybe package them with Igawa and Cabrera to a team like San Diego. Perhaps for a Kevin Kouzmanoff.

That is half the season where he was crap. There is no way this guy should be the MVP. The first 81 games are just as important as the last 81 games. Same thing applies for Delgado. The NL MVP discussion is a joke because there is such an obvious player who is in a class of his own - Albert Pujols. He is insanely better than any other NL hitter this year, and it's not remotely close. He's batting .365/.465/.650 in 592 trips to the plate. Do you realize how extremely awesome thst is? He is having one of the greatest offensive seasons in recent memory. He is hitting .365. He gets on base 46.5% of the time. He is slugging at a rate that is only .040 lower than Babe Ruth's career Slugging Percentage. And he is doing it with an injured elbow. Yet he gets no love because the 24 guys around him are nothing special. That is so unfair. He is a slam-dunk no-brainer for Nl MVP. Let's see if the writers are dumb enough to screw this up. They just might be. “Ryan Howard = NL MVP, he’s done it all season”
