I do not like David Ortiz. I hate the Boston Red Sox. I don’t think a DH should ever win the MVP. But if I had a vote for MVP, I’d cast it for Big Poopi.

Why?

Because after last night, I don’t want Alex Rodriguez to get it. Scratch that; after the last week, I don’t want Alex Rodriguez to get it. In the regular season, Rodriguez was more valuable than Ortiz. Their offensive stats were almost identical, but Rodriguez also played an outstanding third base, while Ortiz sat in the dugout, presumably eating donuts.

But the New York Yankees are not about the regular season. They are about winning the World Series, or at least they used to be. But that is hard to do when your $250,000,000-MVP-candidate-third-baseman goes .133 for the series and does not drive in a single run. Grounding into a double play when you are the tying run at the plate in the 9th inning of an elimination game is inexcusable.
