Mauer since July 1: .351/.415/.556
Derek Jeter since July 1: .370/.421/.522
Mauer's team isn't making the playoffs. Derek Jeter's is the best in baseball. In this "post steroid era" I think it is only appropriate for a lead off hitter to be the recipient of the MVP this year. Teixeira and Mauer have both had very impressive seasons but Jeter has just been too impressive.
If/When Derek Jeter wins an MVP he should dedicate it to Jim Rice.

Fun Fact
Carlos Pena of the Tampa Bay Rays has 37 home runs and 35 singles. I can't fathom what kind of approach you bring to the plate to achieve numbers like that.
He's no Rhodes Scholar to begin with- Epstein on Pappelbon
"I think Pap feels like he was misunderstood," Epstein told the Boston media. "He's not a Rhodes Scholar to begin with, obviously. When I talked to him directly about it, he couldn't have been more excited about the prospect of adding Billy Wagner."
Where do I start with this? First of all Jonathon Papelbon is a loud mouth, first class jerk off. Has anyone else noticed how many negative stories have been spilling out of Boston since the Yankees have gone on their tear after the series in Atlanta? From the Papi story, the Stadium sweep and now this. It seems like they are getting the excuse engine cranked up early. But this one really makes me smile.
"He's no Rhodes Scholar to begin with" Translation = He's a fucking retard who should be screened before we allow him to speak with the media because he consistently makes us look like donkey's.
Let us take a look at two of my favorite Pappelbon quotes from last season:
"I feel like I needed to be in a bulletproof car," - on New York fans during the All-Star parade. Only after he made this comment:
“If I was managing the team, I would close. … But I’m not managing the team,” This was in reference to the 2008 All-Star game. A game where he was pitching out of the same bullpen as the IMMORTAL Mariano Rivera, in Mariano's damn stadium. Are you delusional Mr. Pappelbon. So Theo is right, it's safe to say he is no Rhodes Scholar.
Also if we are talking about Rhodes Scholars I should mention Myron Rolle, the Florida State Defensive back who was the first major-college football player of his generation to win what is considered the world’s most prestigious postgraduate academic scholarship.
Nice little day game today for the Yanks, a W takes the series, in a season where it recently has seemed impossible to lose a series.
Burnett isn't pitching to Posada, Girardi claims it's only because it's a day game after a night game and Jorge hurt a finger last night. I say that's just convenient.

Sorry for the lack of posts, things have been hectic. I'll give you a little sampling of things that have amused/interested me in the past few days a la Buster Olney.
Issiah Thomas continues to act like a total douche-bag in every single thing he does. He apparently is going to boycott a cancer benefit tournament because he doesn't want to play UNC. Keep in mind he signed a contract saying he would play them.
Did somebody bury a Phillies jersey in Shitty, I mean CITI Field? They clearly have pissed off the baseball gods somehow as literally every single player who has mattered on the team has gone down with a BAD injury.
Plaxico Burress is a good enough guy. I obviously am biased as he was a part of one of the happiest moments of my sports watching life catching the winning touchdown in the Giants romping of the 18-1 New England Patriots. Here's his side of the story the night he shot himself (that's painful just to say) in an interview with Jeremy Schaap.
The Red Sox acquired Billy Wagner from the Mets. They did so even after their star closer Jonathon Pappelbon went on the record in saying it was a bad idea. Then other Red Sox teammates agreed with Pappelbon. Luckily I get to watch as Theo Epstein learns what everyone else around the league already knew: Billy Wagner is a selfish piece of shit who has NEVER, honestly NEVER recorded a big out in his career. Wagner manipulated the Sawx with his no-trade clause demanding they don't resign him next year because frankly (and I'm BARELY paraphrasing here)he would rather be the closer on a team that loses 90 games than have a shot at winning a ring. What a competitor! Enjoy each other Billy and Jonathon!
Lastly I had my fantasy football draft this weekend. Got the 10th pick and was pleased. My first few picks looked like this:
10:D'angelo Williams
11:Andre Johnson
30:Marques Colston
31:Aaron Rogers
Holla atcha boy!

JIM RICE = PRICK
Jim fucking Rice and his big fucking mouth took a cheap shot at Derek Jeter. How many World Series rings do you have Jim Rice? Because Derek Jeter has 4 and that is 4 more than you have. Derek Jeter is widely acknowledged even by grumpy arrogant Sawx fans to be one of THE role models the sport has to offer. Are you mad because Derek's laundry list includes names like Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Scarlet Johanson and Mariah Carey? I don't know what is up Jim Rice's ass but I'd like to officially start a petition to revoke his Hall of Fame status.

PLAXICO BURRESS
Very busy day at work but Plaxico Cheddar Bob Burress just plead guilty to his charges and will do 2 years in jail. The same ammount of time as Mike Vick...This seems moronic. Plaxico used Sean Puff Daddy Combs lawyer, who got puffy off shooting SOMEONE ELSE but couldn't get Plaxico off shooting himself. More on this later
