How about you give us the LDS MVPs metsguy?
John Maine
James Loney.
Dodgers-Loney
Phillies-Burrell
Red Sox(If win)-Bay
Angels(If Win)-Napoli
Rays(if win) Longoria
White Sox(If win)- Thome or Danks
easy for the Dodgers - Loney - grand slam and a two-run double in the third game
Agreed! John Maine should win all 4 hypothetical DS MVP awards! :DQuote:
