Good job baseball.

Baseball, you once again proved to be right with your end of the year awards. (Clap, clap, clap!)

The two Cy Young Awards went to pitchers who won games on struggling teams. R.A. Dickey was the only bright spot for the whole season on the Mets. Your knuckleball danced like a man named Rico and helped you climb atop the N.L. in strikeouts. David Price turned in his usual performances of being absolutely unhittable. With a healthy lineup,  would've won 20 games. Easy.

Where you really excelled though was your most recent Most Valuable Player Award. Buster Posey wasn't only the best catcher in baseball, he was the best player and most important to his team in the N.L.

Now I get to the hot stove where writers, including myself, have tried to give Mike Trout the A.L. MVP award all year. But cooler heads prevailed and you gave it to Miguel Cabrera. Miggy won the Triple Crown, something that happens once in a lifetime. I realize that Trout is fun to watch and is a great story, but the award went to Cabrera on this turning factor. The Detroit Tigers made the playoffs and played for the World Series, the Los Angeles Angels finished third in the A.L. West. Trout and Cabrera both had phenomenal seasons, but Miggy lead his team to victory,  while Trout prepared for next year.

Great job again, baseball. You've knocked this out of the park!
