Value Evaluation: CC or A-Rod
fackyouk.blogspot.com 10/26/2009 — I doubt many people are going to remember who the ALCS MVP was a couple years from now.

A-Rod One Step Away from Redemption
noyoureatowel.net 10/28/2009 — I was asked by a co-worker when the season started how I thought Alex Rodriguez would do. I answered "MVP-quality season". I got a shocked "huh?". I mean A-Rod had just been exposed as a fraud by Joe Torre and furthermore by the steroids admission he was forced to give after finding he was on ...
