@Roman: You ever think that if Delgado didn’t play so horribly the first 3 months of the year, the Mets wouldn’t have needed any late season heroics from him?

He was arguably the worst player in professional baseball for 3 months. Do those games not count?

Roman, not sure why you would argue with the mental giants that don’t watch the team every day. Clearly these guys know all things sports and can predict such things as the NL MVP results, the results of pivotal college football games (and I am using the term “pivotal” loosely) and the upcoming election. They do this as they ride around on winged horses and catch gold coins from the sky.

I don’t think anything else needs to be said.

With the exception of Wright…the other four guys Nick named have had a terrible month to two month stretch….so don’t tell me that Delgado’s two bad months mean more then the other guys…They all sucked together and now they are all playing well together…and a season is 162 games long so if it weren’t for all their efforts they would be nowhere but with Delgado being the guy who has been most consistent since June, the power hitter in the middle of the lineup that is getting guys like Beltran more pitches to hit and driving in Reyes, Wright and Beltran he has been this teams catalyst. When D Wright was by himself as the only one producing the team was mired in 4th..Delgado starts hitting this team is in first…Wright is the better player..Delgado is the most important player this season (MVP’s are for that seasons accomplishments not for lifetime work)…Santana may be more important but he only has played one out every five days…Now with all of that said..Albert Pujols is the NL MVP as I have consistently said..I am only against this consistent shitting on Delgado like his 35 homers and 105 RBIs are shit because he did a majority of it since June..that is a horseshit argument…if he spread the same numbers over 162 evenly he would not have had the same impact

Not according to Roman. Cause the last weeks of the season matter more, and you have to watch the Mets and be a Mets fan to get it.

He’s probably the 5th MVP on his own team.

Behind Beltran, Wright, Reyes, and *probably* Santana.

From Sheehan’s article today:

I’m rooting for Carlos Delgado to win the NL MVP Award. It would, I hope, put an end to the BBRAA awards as a credible arbiter of such honors to have a player not half as good as the actual MVP, and playing alongside two clearly superior players in his own infield, walk away with the hardware. Go Carlos
