Thoughts on one blog for September!

Guess who's been a crappy blogger since he got to college? Time to do better. I think I'll do better once playoffs start.

So here's some quick thoughts on baseball's happenings of late.

First, with Bobby Valentine returning to the USA, I'm going to rehash one of my favorite opinions: Bobby Valentine should be the manager of the Mets. He's a white Ozzie Guillen. He fits perfectly for them. He gives a team without any character some character. He should have never been fired for Steve Phillips' mistakes. The Wilpons love him, his players loved him, and he was a winner. Fire Jerry Manuel if, and only if, Bobby Valentine returns.

Second, it's about time Eric Wedge got fired. Seriously, that team's underachieved for the last 5 years.

Third, the awards this year are easy. Pujols and Mauer should be MVP, Lincecum and Greinke are the Cy Youngs. Apologies to Felix Hernandez, Justin Verlander, and Prince Fielder.

Fourth, I'm not making playoff predictions right now. I want to see the matchups, I don't see clear-cut favorites that will beat whomever they play.
