Re: BIG PAPI = M V P
okay, we'll debate which hits were lucky and which weren't.
WTF.
By the way, this is one of the main arguments for DIPS. You let the ball get put into play, and things happen. It's mostly not the pitcher's fault.
winning 11-10 is a lot luckier than winning 3-2.
I agree Oakland should have put their best reliever in the 10th inning - but most managers wouldn't put in the closer until they have the lead.
Sublime wasn't bashing Aaron Small - he was complimenting him. No way anyone would have predicted Small to pitch as well as he has - or Chacon, or Wang. Or Giambi to hit anywhere NEAR as well as he has.
How many guys on the Red Sox have come out of nowhere and had a big year? Tell me, because I can't think of a single one.
