JRoll was on a division champion-the rules are different for that. Sorry, that's life and it isn't fair. Again, to win on a non-title team you have to have better numbers.

Doesn't matter what order the wins come in, now, does it? Mets can brag about their April record all they want. I'll repeat it again: TO WIN THE MVP ON A NON-TITLE TEAM YOU HAVE TO HAVE BETTER NUMBERS THAN DAVID WRIGHT IN THE CATEGORIES THAT IMPRESS MVP VOTERS! I'm not saying it's fair, just the way it is. <i>Rollins put together one of the best offensive seasons by a shortstop in NL history, while playing a more demanding position than Holliday at a Gold Glove level. Rollins did his part, batting .296 while setting new career highs in home runs (30) and runs batted in (94). He also swiped 41 stolen bases, ripped 38 doubles, and his triple on the final day of the season gave him 20, making him the fourth player in major league history to finish a season with 20 doubles, triples, homers and stolen bases. He joined Wildrire Schulte (1911), Willie Mays (1957) and Curtis Granderson (2007) in that exclusive club.</i> What did Wright do that was so historic? Play on a second place team and finish second on the team in HRs and RBIs? If the Mets were able to win a game in September, then, sure, Wright might have won. 2007 NL East Division Champs.

Doesn’t matter what order the wins come in, now, does it?

Mets can brag about their April record all they want.
