Since the 9th Inning of the Dodgers/Cardinals game on Monday, Dodgers Offense have been on a tear, mainly Kemp, Miles, Barajas, & Rivera

The Tigers lead in the central has grown really fast the past week. It went from 1.5 to 7.

The thing about MVP candidates is that their team almost always has to be in the race to have a shot. The Dodgers are not. But then again, they might be in the NL West.

Upton plays defense.

I'm tired of two arguments. That you can't be the MVP on a sucky team and that a pitcher can't be the MVP. Both are ********.

Jeter has a few of them, and Jeter is an awful defender. Gold Glove decision makers are idiots.

Gold Gloves mean absolutely nothing. Kemp is having a fantastic offensive season, but his glove does not live up to the reputation. Ned Colletti has even said directly that Kemp is playing poorly defensively.

I agree, but if pitchers can be MVP you might as well get rid of the Cy Young, which is a much cooler trophy to win anyway. It would be about as important as the Davey O'Brian trophy.

So apparently the Giants claimed Heath Bell off waivers?

That is a nice get for an already solid bullpen.

They'd still have to trade for him and who knows what the Giants want to give up at this point.

Ya i've heard it's more of a move to block him from going to the Diamondbacks and Phillies.
Wouldn't be a bad idea to get him with Romo and Wilson on the DL, however.

Giants made a smart claim but there's no way that the Padres send him there.

If I hear another joke about Ortiz's 'speed', I will turn this game off.
The jokes aren't funny.

Alex Avila is a god. His OBP this month is .540 and he just obliterated a ball for his 6th home run in August.
He's had to catch every inning of 20 consecutive games because Victor Martinez is unable to.
