No argument here. I finally broke through on the voting scheme and have been hitting it hard.

Ok. Votto has the numbers, but wouldn't it be funny if Votto wins the NL MVP but loses the team MVP to Scott Rolen? Remember Votto played all of last year with the reds (except for his mental injury), we didn't start winning till Rolen came to town. Just saying, that's all, just sayin.
