What's this? A plaque?

The local chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America released the results of their annual end-of-the-year awards without much controversy this season. The winners:

Mike Schmidt MVP: Ryan Howard
Steve Carlton Most Valuable Pitcher: Tom Gordon
Dallas Green Special Achievement: Chris Coste
Tug McGraw Good Guy: Mike Lieberthal

If you want to know the truth, the award are a sham and nothing but a popularity contest. Besides, the BBWAA is an evil secret society more evil than Skull & Bones, the Rotarians, the Free Masons, Phi Beta Kappa, the ladies auxillary at the Lancaster Country Club, the Junior League, and the Stonecutters. Combined.
