Yeah, I don't like the White Sox either. I can't stand Ozzie or Pierzynksi. At least they don't have Carl Everett anymore. I'm a Red Sox fan and I have to admit that the Yankees are the best team in the league I am thrilled with John Lester's improvement this year. A Left hander with a K/9 over 10 is ridiculous.

The braves had a chance to get in the playoffs, but blew it by getting swept by the Reds

The World Series is played by the MLB, which encompasses 2 countries: the United States and Canada. However, when you look the makeup of the teams, you see a variety of nations represented. You see, baseball is popular in many countries, especially in the western hemisphere, but also in Japan. The best players of these countries play for MLB teams however, making the MLB the best baseball league in the world. Therefore, the MLB World Series actually represents the best players in the world and deserves the title 'World Series'.

Whilst I think you overestimate the popularity abroad, it does make more sense that way. Though by that definition we could call the premiership the 'world league,' seeing as how few brits there are in it these days Razz

Just Wondering what are your MVP picks. It would be stupid to go against Joe Mauer in the AL. But in the NL Chase Utley, Hanley Ramirez and Albert Pujols all have good arguments. But I think that with his recent hot streak Albert is beginning to pull away.

As a die-hard Cards fan, I'm for Albert as MVP of course Wink

As much as I hate the Cardinals I think Pujols deserves it.
