Carlos Delgado assumed that he was going to win the A.L. MVP. I have always enjoyed watching Delgado play–even when he is killing the Yanks–but you know what happens when you assume…

“If they were going to pick somebody from a team that didn’t make the playoffs, I think that would have given me an edge,” Delgado said. “But that’s what I get for thinking, I guess.”

Hey, you said it brother. Meanwhile, David Pinto has an excellent post about why people should stop whinning and learn to accept the fact that the best player in the league is usually the M.V.P. as well.
