Brad Radke is likely to retire now. I feel old - I think this is the first player with a relatively long career to retire that I remember their rookie season.
My dad will be there. With clients. Without even asking me if I wanted to go. Sure, I had a class at 5, and a train ride home takes about 3 hours, but still, what's more important, really? One measly lecture or Mets playoff baseball?
I don't think it's fair to end the vote tallying when we're still on the field playing baseball. I'd hold off on calling David Wright player of the year. Player of the Regular Season? Sure. But we're still playing here.
I vote that Schaefer tallying for the postseason should be simply an extension of the regular season. Basically we'd have a regular season Schaefer MVP, a postseason Schaefer MVP, and an overall Schaefer MVP.
