i heard u get free moist towelettes when u buy this album is this true? can someone confirm this?

Actually, starting pitchers impact basically the same amount of plays as a position player in the course of a season (obviously this varies...a first baseman will be involved in more plays than an outfielder, for example). In a given game, a position player will likely have 4-5 plate appearances, plus a handful of defensive opportunities. In a given game, a starting pitcher may face upwards of 30-35 batters. They are involved in each of their team's defensive plays. They obviously appear in just 1/5 of their team's games, but the workload they put forth in each start is usually 5x more than that of a position player (sometimes more, sometimes less). As a case study, I will compare Jacoby Ellsbury with Justin Verlander. I chose Ellsbury because he was one of the leading MVP candidates, and he appeared in basically every Red Sox game (158 of them), so he matches up pretty well with Verlander, who didn't miss any time due to injuries or whatnot. Ellsbury in 2011: 729 plate appearances, 394 defensive chances in CF. A total of 1123 "plays" Verlander in 2011: 969 plate-appearances-against (as a pitcher), 50 defensive chances, 4 plate appearances as a batter. A total of 1023 "plays". Obviously, this isn't an exact science and it doesn't take certain things into account, such as base running and position value. Obviously, an outfielder like Ellsbury will see way fewer defensive chances than a first baseman (Ryan Howard played 152 games this season and had almost 1400 chances). But hopefully this sort of debunks that myth that a pitcher isn't deserving of this award because they only appear in 30 games. Position players do indeed impact a higher percentage of total team plays, but it is really quite close, and in this case I think the MVP votes for Verlander were certainly warranted

album is fire lol @ the haters. there's only a few tracks that i'm not big on

Rough Ryder!!! Woo Woo Woo, You Know It! What a crowd, what a night I will def be going back, so many chants We Want Ryder Lady Parts Boots 2 Asses Batista (for mason ryan) Sexual Chocolate D-Lo Brown Howard Finkel Don't Tag Cena Randy Savage Undertaker Rocky my favorite You Can't Wrestle You Still Suck Cena Sucks and for those of you who haven't seen it, I would have uploaded mine but it has me talking and laughing, heres another one... Amazing night! that video is pretty close to where I was sitting...I'll upload some pics tomorrow, awesome night, watched some of the event after I downloaded it too, crazy how much Booker T was hating on the Rock and how loud the pops were and how clear some of the chants were

Anaconda Vice.

Ziggler defended his belt successfully in an entertaining match against Morrison. Dolph can wrestle...probably one of my top three favorite active wrestlers right now. The Beth/Eve match sucked, except for Beth's finisher. She did it off the ropes (the Glam Slam). Pretty nice spot. I wasn't that entertained with the Survivor Series match (the big tag match...I call it the SS match because that was the entire point of the Survivor Series, back in the day). Barrett and Rhodes were in there against Orton, and Randy gave Rhodes the RKO, but Barrett was the legal man...and he picked up Orton and dropped him with the Wasteland. Sin Cara jacked up his leg during the match, legit injury, and will be out for up to nine months. Henry and Show was...uh...okay. Show jumped off the top rope (yes) with an elbow drop, didn't get the three count, stood up and prepared for his KO punch shit...and Henry gave him a low blow and lost by DQ. After the match, Henry tried to bust his leg again, but Show moved, KO'ed him, then put his leg into the chair and gave him a taste of his own medicine. Punk beat Del Rio...locked him up in that submission move (don't remember what he calls it) and made him tap. Cena and The Rock beat Awesome Truth. Rock got in a Rock Bottom, and he eventually won the match with a People's Elbow. Cena spent most of the match getting his ass kicked. Rock celebrated in the ring, asked Cena to go in there with him, and they basically celebrated together, getting different reactions from the crowd (ala Cena/Punk not too long ago), before Rock spun him around and dropped him with a Rock Bottom, ending the show.
