Could Chase Utley be World Series MVP even if the Phillies lose?

The award is weighted heavily on the team that wins it. Should Phillies prevail, he is a shoo-in.

I think it's possible snce Bobby Richardson did it in 1960 and Luis Tiant did it in 1975. There were two different MVP awards in those days. If he breaks Reggie Jackson's homerun record it is certainly possible.

Wasn't that odd that Utley hits the homer that ties him with Jackson for the most ever in a world series, then the next batter, Ryan Howard, ties the all-time world series strikeout record!

Now THAT's gotta be some kind of record!

If the Yanks win, I think MVP goes to A-Rod - I would rather it not, but you can't deny his bat.

If by the grace of god Phills take it, then there is no question, Utley is in.

The one wrinkle is, if Utley goes yard Wed and Yanks still win.

Howard is swinging at ****, he has had some bad calls, but come on.

There's no way Utley deserves it when Yanks win. You don't give the MVP to the losers. If Philly were to win, then he'd win it.

How bout Jeter or Damon from the yanks? A-rod is hitting around 220 Feter and Damon around 364 and 381.
If Phillies win Utley for sure, he sures plays the game right.

Does anyone know what Posada is hitting?

What about Rivera? Does he have 2 or 3 saves in the series? I think if he ends up with 3 or 4 he could be the MVP ala John Wettland in 1998.

Posad around 313 Matsui I think around 550 or so. Agree Mid, Rivera has done a great job and not just for the ninth inning, they been calling him in before that the entire post season.
SI had a great article on Rivera a couple weeks back, great reading

"Does anyone know what Posada is hitting?"

On occasion a baseball.



Sorry '...' ...I couldn't resist!

Friends? Still? Hope?

If the Phillies win there is no doubt imo. If the Yankees win then I think its going to be Arod. Of course if it goes 7 games alot can happen. I for one hope it goes 7 because I dont think there is anything as exciting in sports as a 7th game in the WS.

I agree completely Coach.

If it goes seven, and CC wins it, I think they might give it to CC.

But if CC is pitching in game 7, Utley will hit another three HR's!

of course GW. We, after all, have a special relationship.

I don't think Utley could hit CC. He went 0-3 when CC was in.

On another note - CC does not look like a pitcher, I wonder what he could do with a football.

Yes we do!

Now for the umpteenth time...would you please take out the trash? And throw out those smelly slippers of yours! Have you seen the sour face Frisky puts on when you ask him to fetch them?

You might want to check those box scores again. I think Utley went something like 4-6 with 3 HR's and a double off CC in CC's two starts. Maybe a walk in there for extra measure.

In CC's defense, they are pitching him on short rest, which was what finally broke him last year, too. And, that first start (7 innings with only 2 runs, both on Utley solo shots) was a strong outing even though he got hung with the L.
