  1. @judybattista Keizo Konichi of Kyodo News (Seattle chapter)
  2. The full top 10: Mauer, Teixeira, Jeter, Cabrera, K. Morales, Youkilis, Bay, Zobrist, Suzuki, A. Rodriguez (Mo was 14th, Cano 18th, CC 21st)
  3. Miguel Cabrera sure seemed valuable that final weekend. Really seemed to have his priorities in order then. Hard to believe he got a 1st.
  4. AL MVP voting: Joe Mauer first, Mark Texieira 2nd, Derek Jeter 3rd... and Miguel Cabrera 4th. Cabrera got the only other first-place vote.
  5. Yanks add 7 to 40-man roster: OF Austin Jackson, INFs Reegie Corona, Eduardo Nunez, Kevin Russo, Ps Romulo Sanchez, Hector Noesi, Ivan Nova
  6. Lincecum wins NL Cy despite having fewer 1st-place votes than Wainwright. Carpenter finished 2nd but was left off 2 ballots.
  7. @AdamKilgoreBG So did Belichick make the right call? I don't like the Pats anymore, but I actually think he did.
  8. For the record, I picked Zack Greinke as the Cy Young winner back in March. Of course, I also picked the Royals to win the AL Central.
  9. CC Sabathia had 2 second-place votes and 7 votes for third. Roy Halladay had 11 votes fro third.
  10. Zack Greinke wins in a landslide over Felix Hernandez for AL Cy Young Award. Greinke had 25 first-place votes; Hernandez 2, Verlander 1.
  11. "It's so much better than I thought it was going to be." -- Mark Teixeira, who gave the final-out baseball to Johnny Damon.
  12. Damaso Marte, World Series superstar. Sure, we all knew that would happen.
  13. For more on the great Bobby Richardson, check out the story by @jackcurry1 from today's NYT: http://bit.ly/bhcqI
  14. Matsui ties Bobby Richardson's record for RBI in a World Series game, with 6.
  15. Durbin in to pitch for Phillies.
  16. Strained right calf for Johnny Damon.
  17. Matsui was MVP of Japan Series in 2000 vs. Hawks. He was 8x21 with 3 HR, 8 rbi in Series, including 2x2 with 4 RBI in Game 6. (Thanks, Gaku)
  18. Why warm up the lefty Happ if you're not gonna use him to face the lefty Matsui when Matsui has destroyed Pedro? Very strange.
  19. Obviously, that was a make-up call by Joe West for body-slamming the Phillies' Dennis Cook in 1990.
  20. Manuel needs to get JA Happ up. Pedro's at 51 pitches and he's gotten 7 outs.
