MLB Awards Quick Speak

Every November a thought hits my head and it bugs the crap out of me and then after its done it slips into the abyss only to come back the following November. What is this little mosquito that keeps biting at my brain annually, why its Major League Baseballs Award system.

How long does it take for these chumps to tally votes? Why are we in mid November and still have no idea who will be voted the MVP in either league, and at this point is anybody truly not completely ingulfed in football to do anything but give a quick glance and nothing more at the columns which proclaim the winner for each award. Be honest if you're listening to your local sports radio talk show and a caller dials up and is upset that Ryan Zimmerman didn't win the Rookie of the Year, what are the chances you do one of the following A)Switch the Dial to the other Sports Talk Radio Show B) Toss on a CD C) Mutter under you breath who gives a crap.

To put into complete focus how long its been since these awards were a relevant sports topic of conversation, I wrote my MLB Awards on October 12th and it was barely relevant than as I was two weeks late on when it would have been a truly time appropriate article. Yet, the Powers that be will announce that Derek Jeter in fact took home the MVP Award while you are slicing up your Turkey during Thanksgiving.

Simple solution one week after the World Series ends, let it soak in if its worth soaking, start the awards and there is no reason to have days where you only find out that one person won the Cy Young, two awards a day and there you go its over and we can focus our complete attention on football without my baseball soul flicking at my ear telling me I should be interested in these damn awards.

With all that being said turn the radio dial as I am going into some...

MLB Award Quick Speak:

Joe Girardi, fired and Manager of the Year, just stupid. And now he's broadcasting on YES again. Pretty Damn Stupid.

NL Cy Young, should have gone to Johan Santana cause he deserved two awards while no one in the NL deserved squat. It's like when there's no one thats a good option for the NBA Hall of Fame and Derek Coleman gets elected. It shouldn't happen.

Jim Leiland can grab his trophy, but hopefully he doesn't smudge it with the dirt on his palm.

Ryan Zimmerman was the man, he got jobbed.

Jeter has a cologne I got a free sample in the mail, haven't dared to smell it yet. Why do athletes make cologne? Does it smell like MVP or just Gold Glove?

What do you feel about giving the awards out after the regular season ends, that way all the teams are fresh in everyones mind, instead of waiting till a month or two after when half the teams weren't even playing?

That would be fine with me, however I understand they don't want to take away from the playoff hype thats why they don't do it. But mid November is ridiculous.

Lou Holtz is the Homer / Annoyingly Delusional

As my buddy Joe and I always joke, if Notre Dame was suiting up against an all Jesus team, aka a team made up of 55 Sons of God, Lou Holtz would probably still pick Notre Dame to win by a touchdown. So of course this weekend when I'm watching Sportscenter and they have him and fellow old man Corso making predictions, Lou picks ND to beat Michigan. Not that big of a deal, Michigan is a big question mark this year, but of course than Lou says that Notre Dame will win 11 games this year. This is the same Notre Dame that lost to a service academy last year. And just when you thought the douchy homerism was going to end ESPN asks which BCS school is going to be the biggest surprise team in the country. Any guesses to whom it was? I'll give you a clue it was another team he coached. If you guessed South Carolina you would be a winner. Next up on Lou's prediction watch, the Jets win the Superbowl, NC St. wins the ACC, Arkansas dominates the SEC West, Minnesota wins the Big

Ranking the New York Jets Historical Helmets

There's no way you can't go with the Helmet they won the Super Bowl in. You just can't. Next, I really don't understand why they don't where the helmet with the Jet as their throwback uniforms. That helmet is awesome. Then I'm going with the Helmets from the 80s because it's the classic feel and the white face mask is 10 times better than the black one. And the rankings continue until you get to... The Titans Helmet. I hate everything about those Titan uniforms. The Helmets are boring and the colors are GOD awful. Navy blue and Mustard? What the hell is that. Disgusting. If they wore those unis when I was a kid I'd probably be a Giant fan, and be much happier with my life in football.
