I'm Calling It Now

ALCS MVP - Hideki Matsui.

You could make a case for Gary Sheffield too, but I think Matsui's hits have been bigger. He's scored first in two of the three games.

UPDATE: Okay, I misspoke. Matsui technically did not score first. He drove in the first RBI in game 1 (driving home Sheffield, so Sheffield scored first) and the second RBI in game 3 (A-Rod had the first RBI of game 3). Still. He has more RBIs than Sheffield, so I still hold that his hits have been bigger than Sheffield's.

Hey, there's a tough call, but only if they win the series. It's not over. Let's take nothing for granted.

Okay, counting no chickens it is. But I counted four the other day. We'll see tonight.

Let's let the stats tell the story:

1st place in stats, by far, is Matsui. ARod and Sheffield are close, slight advantage to Arod.

Matsui:
Batting avg: .500
RBI: 13
SLG: .938

ARod:
Batting avg: .424
RBI: 6
SLG: .758
