It Should've Been Jeter?!?!?!?!

I'm so horribly tired of the East Coast Media determining who should be what and how it should happen. Justin Morneau was named AL MVP today, and rather than celebrating his achievement, all ESPN ran today was "Should Jeter be the MVP" and "Is Morneau the real MVP"? Listen--of all the players with a realistic shot, Morneau was the most well-rounded player of all of them. Jeter hit .330-something, which was nice, and drove in over 80 RBIs from the 2-spot in the lineup. Does that make Morneau's .324, 35HR, 125 RBI year any less relevant? Did Jeter make the Yankees do anything special due to his year? New York would make the playoffs if Jeter hit .220. The Twins do not make the playoffs, let alone win the division, if Morneau played like he played last year. I can't even watch the coverage because it's all about Jeter not winning, when the focus should be on Justin Morneau winning.

I, for one, am sick of Minnesota athletes stealing the national spotlight from the New Yorkers toiling in obscurity.

Man, it's gotta be hard for them. It would be nice to receive some recognition every now and again.
