Baltimore Orioles Make a Mess of Red Sox Bullpen, Comeback from Nine Down
07/01/2009
I recently graduated from University of Mary Washington with a degree in English. Worked on the school's paper for five semesters, working as Sports Editor during my last three. Sports are my love, my passion and my life. Football and Baseball are my expertise and I have extensive knowledge in the minor league levels as well as the majors.
I am happiest when I am writing or watching sports so the smart thing seemed to be to combine the two and see if it works. So far, so good as I recently took a job here at b/r as an editing intern. Feel free to drop me a line if you need help with any articles or you are looking for some extra tips or information.
Thanks for the edit and the comments. You and all the editors are really helpful.

Hi, the article is my 1st import from my blog, Il Tifosi (The Fans) see it here

The title of the post is all that gets brought across so I guess I'll have to rename them once B/R pulls them over.
Thanks for the edit & comments.

Thank you very much for your kind words. You're right, Mauer is just killing the ball right now, and who knows what his numbers might have looked like had he not been injured the first month or so of the season. But his team isn't very good this year, and that has more to do with MVP voting than most realize.
Remember, Alex Rodriguez dominated during his years in Texas and could have arguably won every year. As it turned out, he only won once. The only reason it wasn't more was because his team finished dead last every year and voters have a hard time justifying giving the award to a last place team. In their minds, the Most Valuable Player has to demonstrate that he can help his team, and must logically come from a winner. Finally though, voters couldn't ignore A-Rod's numbers and begrudgingly gave him his due.
That said, I don't know if Mauer will get it, simply because the Twins are having an awful go down the stretch here. Had they stayed in contention, I might've said otherwise. But we'll see, he certainly has the numbers.
