Someone actually looked at facts?

I don't want to go over this... but this is a pretty good article explaining who should be the AL NVP.

snippet:
>Unwisely sucked in by Teixeira's RBI total (he presently leads Mauer 86 to 73)? Don't be. Teixeira has more RBI than Mauer only because he's had many more RBI opportunities (he's had 362 runners on base ahead of him this season, while Mauer has had just 228). More to the point, Teixeira has driven in 15.5 percent of runners in 2009, and Mauer has driven in 22.4 percent.

I'm glad someone actually looks at this besides baseball fans.

I always knew he'd fuck someone else over, but that's an impressive fall.
