fathom Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 02:42 AM) here is the difference. Jones carried that team through all it's injuries. Paul Konerko didn't carry the team. The Pitching Staff did. Yeah, since the Cardinals were so healthy all season. :banghead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Pujols. THey had the best pitching staff in the NL and that is why they won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 16, 2005 -> 02:52 AM) Reggie Sanders and Jim Edmonds Sanders missed a couple of months, and Rolen was a non-factor this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) Reggie Sanders and Jim Edmonds Scott Rolen? Also, the Astros had a better pitching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 QUOTE(Felix @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 08:23 PM) So why didn't Konerko win it for the AL? He carried the White Sox offense to a World Series title.. Maybe I'm confused by what you were trying to say but Paulie's postseason has nothing to do with a vote that takes place near the first of October. So Vlad's lack of success or Pujols success shoul be eliminated from your mind when deciding. I think Pujols deserved the award plus its sort of a nice thing for a guy who would have won it in any of the last five years if he weren't in the league with Barry Bonds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 (edited) QUOTE(White Sox Josh @ Nov 15, 2005 -> 09:52 PM) Reggie Sanders and Jim Edmonds I also forgot Larry Walker. Walker, Sanders, Edmonds, and Rolen were 4 of the top 6 producers for the Cardinals in 2004. Edited November 16, 2005 by Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were at our best Paulie was going through an awful slump. He was a non-factor the first 2 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we were at our best Paulie was going through an awful slump. He was a non-factor the first 2 months. He actually had an OPS around .800 in the first two months, which, while its not amazing, is far from being a non-factor. Yes, he was a much better player for the rest of the year, but he wasn't a non-factor in the first few months. He carried our offense this year, and if you don't agree with that, I just won't waste my breath (or hands, whichever it is..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
