OK...
On the one hand, I see your point.
On the other – it’s a VERY common convention to say “we” in reference to a team you root for. It’s not like I came on the thread and said “OMG I can’t believe we’re not playing Cedeno every day WTF Lou must be a flaming retard!!!” Not sure why I got jumped on, but makes me want to NOT post.
Sheesh.

I think it was getting jumped on...
in light of the fact that my statement wasn’t inflammatory. It was a comment that might have elicited a reasoned response, but instead I got a tossed off, snide comment regarding my use of the word “we” when referring to a team that I’ve followed and loved since I was 12.
I think “Sheesh” sums up my feelings nicely.

Dempster bunts, feet get tangled with the catcher, Dempster out.

...and plays the toughest defensive position on the diamond VERY well.

Nobody on this team is outhitting Soto right now.
He’s our most productive hitter so far, and he’s a good defensive catcher. He is, at this moment, challenging Berkmann and Utley as NL MVP. Nobody on the team is close.

Forgot about Chipper - I'll give you that.
But Soto is outhitting Lee, outhitting Ramirez, outhitting Dome… and he’s a catcher! I don’t see how you can say that right now he isn’t our MVP.

Agreed... it isn't close.
Soto has substantially outperformed the others so far.
But yeah, I’d say Chipper has a pretty good case for NL MVP.

Based on what?
Soto leads comfortably in AVG, OBP and SLG. He has a more than 100 point lead in OPS. And he plays the most important defensive position.

Maybe Marmol's impact isn't as broad
But no one’s been more dominant. Its close

You say its not close….im not going to waste my time because you can give me three stats for one player. Im not going to stop what im doing to show you there are others on this team that are close to being team MVP. Key word is CLOSE. Soto isnt running away with anything….is he leading probably. Is it CLOSE-——YES

If you can't provide any support...
how can you say it’s close. Clearly you can stop what you’re doing enough to post regularly, so that’s a terrible excuse.
Saying it’s close without providing any support for why you think that is pointless.
