Willy Taveras - robbed

[Slappie 9]

I just don't get it. How can Willy Taveras get passed up as Rookie of the year?

Please explain to me how Ryan Howard made such a massive impact on his team and the game in the short time he played...

Never look down on someone, unless they are going down on you.

"Rookie of the year" is typically awarded in sporting contests.... what sport are you referring to?

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Sweet, a Lebowski reference. There's hope for the DZ.com heathens yet. And yes Taveras was robbed. He was such an integral part of the Astros, I dont even see how the other guys were in the running. MLB hates Houston.

Here here!! Not just MLB but the sports writers assoc is too. ANY team in Houston get's no respect what so ever. I think it might be all of Texas... The Longhorns haven't gotten any all year either. Every week it's "ok the Horns are going to blow it against team xxxx, they can't hold this streak together."

Anyway, Taveras had a better batting avg with MORE AT BATS then Ryan Howard. He had more RBIs, more stolen bases. Helped his team make it to the WORLD SERIES!! Jeeez are the sports writers fucking BLIND!?
