Congratulations to Dustin Pedroia for winning his first Most Valuable Fucking Player award. Or, at least, that’s probably what he thinks it really stands for. I, personally, would have voted for Youks. Better offensive numbers, played gold-glove defense at not one, but two positions, and bat all over the lineup. But a .326 BA with 17HR and 54 2B’s aint bad.

In honor of Bull Durham and this link from the BBC, I wouldn’t be surprised if this was Pedroia’s first draft of his acceptance speech:

It’s a big honor, but, let’s be honest, I deserved it. You know, I actually give 110% every day, which to anybody else would be like 242%…I calculated it. And let’s face it, the fact of the matter is that very few talk the talk and walk the walk. Actually, I run the mother fucking run..and a whole lot faster than Youks. To be fair, how can he run with that dead ferret around his mouth? Haha, you got 3rd, bitch! So, going forward, I’m sure that another MVP award is in the pipeline for me next year, but this is certainly a step in the right direction. Any questions?

Congrats Pedey, hope you have a drink, or 20, on Dirty Watah. (Why am I afraid I’m going to get emailed a $300 bill for booze now?)
