[QUOTE="bigbangtheory, post: 5244454, member: 563177"] If it wasn't for Dustin, they wouldn't have made the playoffs. He does more than just hit homeruns.......and of course RBi's is a team stat, which he did well at as well. I am not a big fan of Boston, but he deserved it with out a doubt. x2! Manny and Bay were not playing to their potential considering one was on a shit *** Pittsburgh team and the other had so many problems with his own team. Hell you could tell he wasn't trying out there in Boston. Better HR and RBi hitter, yes! Now team leader and overall player, no.
