Soto’s my MVP

Do you think the Cubs would be where they are with Michael Barrett behind the plate? Aren’t you glad we haven’t had to compare how pitchers’ ERAs are different depending on who’s catching?
Thank you Geovany Soto. As Gareth mentioned a few posts ago, Peter Gammons of ESPN thinks Soto is a legit MVP candidate. His offensive stats are good, but not MVP caliber. However, He plays the game’s toughest position and he has helped Cubs’ pitchers post the second-best ERA in the league.
Newcomer Rich Harden credits Soto for helping him post a 1.50 ERA with the Cubs.
Soto’s base running last night was the turning point of the game. It gave the Cubs the only run they really needed.
Most Cubs fans don’t care about the MVP award. We’ve had a few since the last time the Cubs won a championship. It’s time to win it all and leave the post-season hardware for others to pick up.

no more cubs talk. What about the 2005 World Series Champions? Lets see more White Sox talk!

My God are you greedy, Jeff! White Sox fans are about to get a Sox fan elected president! And you’re worried about seeing more comments about the merits between Clayton Richard vs. Lance Broadway in Bridgeport’s fifth spot in the rotation? Priorities, man!
