It was announced earlier this evening that Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels of Southern California, Orange County, USA won his first American League MVP award.

In a unanimous vote by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, the best young player in the HISTORY of the sport was finally recognized for his greatness. Tigers’ DH Victor Martinez finished second. In the same fashion that Twice a Prince placed in the 1973 Belmont.

This wasn’t exactly Susan Lucci winning her first Daytime Emmy after years of being shunned, but it sure felt that way since Trout should have been picking up his third MVP award tonight instead of his first.

In fact, in about 15 years, learned men will look back at the 2012 and 2013 AL MVP results and wonder what the hell was going on. The BBWAA will probably have to offer a formal apology to Trout just like the Catholic Church is always offering mea culpas years after the fact (Galileo; not doing enough during the Holocaust; raping young boys; just pick one…).

Not only is Trout on pace to become the greatest baseball player to ever live, he is on this trajectory at an insanely young age.

@JeffMossDSR Trout is half a year younger than Devon Travis and 2 days older than Moya for persepctive. Good Lord

It would seem that the only people in the free world who don’t appreciate the special talent we are witnessing with Trout are Tigers fans and the anti-math crowd.

Anyway, before the AL MVP slaughter was announced, “Medicated” Jason Beck posted an article on Tigers.com explaining why Victor Martinez should win the AL MVP this year. I am not going to bust Beck’s balls too much on this because I think MLB put him up to it.

This position piece was then placed on the Tigers’ Facebook page, which led to an awesome collage of comments from fans of Detroit’s baseball team. This is so fucking good.

I used to think Lions fans were the dumbest people on the face of Planet Urf, but I am starting to think Tigers fans have overtaken them for the crown. I swear, I wish could come back in my next life as a dictator and throw all of these imbeciles in an internment camp. Where Keith Law, Jonah Keri, Gabe Kapler, Bill James and Brian Kenny took turns instructing them on sabermetrics ALL DAY LONG. Until the morons hanged themselves with bed sheets.

So here are some of the awesome Facebook comments by these dolt Tigers fans regarding Trout winning the MVP trophy over their beloved V-Mart.

If I were you, I’d read ALL of these in Scott “Whale” Anderson’s dumb voice …..

I’ve got nothing.
