That got ugly fast
Beautiful. They're dysfunctional. Good.
He took himself out of the game. That will hurt his mvp chances.
Papelbon is my favorite player of all time.

They missed the playoffs, might have regardless whether that's fair or not.Originally Posted by thewupk
That was a clown move for sure, bro. I have to admit I love how he is so flawed.
Watching the Nationals implode in such impressive fashion has almost justified this entire season.
Suffice it to say, Papelbon is about a week from getting pushed out to sea on an ice floe.
Arod won on a last place team somewhat recently. Harpers season is so far ahead of anybody elses that it should be his. He's been the best player by far this season. That being said I can see him getting the Ted Williams treatment. Harper rubs a lot of people the wrong way and he essentially quit on the team today and a lot of voters might take issue with that. Right or wrong the voters are human and emotion can come into these things.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
Harper will probably be in a speedboat beside him with a blow torch working on the ice.
I'm guessing Williams has cracked open Microsoft Word and brought up his resume. He'll likely be sending out copies next Monday.
PS--I think Harper's a true chucklehead, but if he's not the MVP, they should just mothball the award.

As bad as the Braves season has been, at least we haven't seen that in the dugout.

Because nobody on this team cares.
Chris Johnson cared

CJ hitting Harper in the head with a thrown helmet would make a great shot to use in a future Harper bobblehead night at the ballpark. :)
CJ hitting ANYTHING while in a Braves' uniform might deserve a bobblehead night!!!
Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...
Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

Somewhere, gilesfan is crying
I think that perception (that he took himself out) might hurt his chances, but I don't think it hurts his chances enough to cost him the award. He should still win it in a landslide.
The Nats had planned to pull Harper in the top half of the inning in the last home game similar to what they did with Desmond. He was done playing, but I think you are correct the perception that he pulled himself out of the game beforehand is going to hurt.
Papelbon and McCann are apparently the unofficial unwritten rules enforcers of baseball. Having a closer call out the NL MVP for jogging to first in a meaningless games seems equal to a kicker calling out Dez Bryant for half assing a route in a preseason game.
Rizzo ****ed up big time; who would expect Papelbon to be a douche? Just anyone that has ever watched him pitch? What a train wreck.

Lol at gilesfan defending baseball's biggest douche. Like clockwork.
