According to 'EEI, the "Little Pony" is the MVP. He'll be on the air at 2:00. This is much-deserved recognition. Power to the little people.

Fantastic news!
Good for him...thanks for not making me have to tune into the annoying and miserably produced MLB.com announcement, BSL. 1st 2nd baseman since Nellie Fox. Can you get players who are more different winning the award in back to back years than A-Rod and Pedroia?

Awesome. I thought for sure he was going to lose out to Morneau.

Cut the shit, ok? It's like being in charge of 2000 three-year-olds some times. JMOH on moderating P&G Nope. Ellsbury's got 2 walks all month and has scored 1 run in the last nine games. He is absolutely killing this ballclub. You don't get to point to Coco and say My Guy's Better. That's like saying cancer is better than AIDS. They both suck. Smiling Joe Hesketh |

Not sure he was the best choice (I would have gone with Youks or Morneau), but good for him. Rookie of the year and then MVP...what's next? Congrats Dustin.

This is great news for our chatty 2B. Hopefully the next time he is in the news it’s for his new long-term contract.

Never in my lifetime did I think a munchkin my size would win an MVP award in baseball. Nice work there shrimp.

I've been listening to WEEI since this thread was started and they haven't mentioned it once. Seems odd, no?

It's nothing to get too upset over, but I think I might have been inclined to vote for Youk. Changing positions, batting anywhere in the lineup and the offensive numbers seemed to be a tad more impressive than Pedroia's year.

The latest I heard on WEEI was that they polled the ESPN "experts" and Pedroia received 14 out of 27 votes. The official announcement will come at 2:00 PM.

-------------------- completely different kind of pain. Childbirth pain is different from injury pain, and injury pain is different than dental pain. IMO, dental pain is the worst of the three.
That, and you have nothing to show for the pain afterward, no sense of accomplishment and superhumanness like you experience after childbirth. I felt like a truck had just driven through my lower body, but other than that, I never felt better in my life than I did after giving birth. After root canal, I merely felt sore and violated. --Jneen |

 MVP!!!!!!!!!!!! -------------------- "People say, 'What will you do if you don't play football?' Why would I even think of doing anything else? What would I do instead of run out in front of 80,000 people and command 52 guys and be around guys I consider brothers and be one of the real gladiators? Why would I ever want to do anything else? It's so hard to think of anything that would match what I do: Fly to the moon? Jump out of planes? Bungee-jump off cliffs? None of that s--- matters to me. I want to play this game I love, be with my wife and son, and enjoy life."
