2009 AL MVP!

This year the American League Most Valuable Player Award goes to, Joe Mauer, catcher for the Minnesota Twins. I read that he was the second catcher in 33 years to win the AL MVP. And he almost got all first place votes, 27 of the 28. His total points cast by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America was 387. I personally feel that the Baseball Writers’ Association of America got it right. Mauer is one of the greatest MLB Players to ever play this game. He may not be a slugger, he doesn’t get a lot of RBIs, what he does do is get on base. He’s also one of the best catchers ever to play. The next closest player to him in points was Mark Teixeira 225 points, Derek Jeter 193, and Miguel Cabrera came in forth with 171 points. He also won this years AL Gold Glove. I sure hope that the Minnesota Twins find away to keep him, and not trade him to the Yankees, but you know the Yankees got the money, and will pay to have him.

Jauron Terminated!

After another poor start, the Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson terminated head coach Dick Jauron. The final straw was this last Sundays beat down 41-17 loss to Tennessee. I think this release of Jauron is a great thing for him. He really needed to get out of Buffalo. The Bills haven’t had any really good building since the early 90’s. Owner Ralph Wilson, hasn’t really spent any money to bring in great players. And for the most part the Bills are in a small market, and just about broke. This off season the Bills did acquired Owens, but he’s a loser, nothing but trouble. Of course there will be fans glad to see this change, but their blind. Jauron is a good head coach, and will end up coaching a team next season, if not this year. The person that all fans should be mad at is Bills owner Ralph Wilson, it’s time for him to step down, and hire great GM to run the team.

Fans Push For Change!

The fans of the Buffalo Bills are starting to show that their unhappy. And one fan is showing his disbelief by purchasing an ad in Buffalo N.Y over looking 190. The digital billboard will flash on over 3000 times a day, stating “It’s time to clean house, RALPH,” plus asking Wilson to terminate Head Coach Jauron; the team’s chief college scout Tom Modrak; and vice president of pro personnel John Guy. What I found hard to believe was that the money raised was by a 18 year old fan, with no job. The ad is going to cost him $1402. If he stays on top of this he could raise even more money to keep the ad up. I think that this is a great idea, every fan should show how they feel, we need to stick together.

Vikings Win!

What a game this was. I was on my chair the whole game. There wasn’t a boring time at all. I thought for sure the Viking defense was going to lose it for the Vikings. I truly believed that the Vikings were going to blow it, but they pulled off the win, 23 to 30. I shouldn’t say the whole defense, the secondary struggles. The Vikings front is unbelievable, no one can have a run game against them. My man, Viking Jared Allen had 4 ½ sacks, 2 force fumbles, and a safety. It seemed that no one was able to stop him, he was busting through the line on every play. I don’t think he slowed down at all. And lets not forget what Brett Favre did in this game, he played a great game. He had no turnovers, the front line gave up no sacks, and he threw for 271 yards and 3 touchdowns. And also worth noting, Brett Favre is the first quarterback in NFL history to beat all 32 NFL teams. I can’t remember the last time the Vikings started 4-0. Anyway, Favre finally got his win against his old team of 15 years. He down played the week, but you know he wanted to beat the Packers very badly. This is a great start to the year, I just hope they keep it going.
