2008 ALDS MVP: Washington v. Minneapolis

The 2008 Stroh's ALDS MVP Award goes to.....

CF CORY COTTON, WAS.  Round of Applause.

The wild and often reckless Cory Cotton pulled his act together this series versus Minneapolis and produced big time.  Cotton ended up putting up the following stat line against the Mutiny:  11-31, .355 avg, 6 R's, 2 HRs, 8 RBIs and 2 Player of the Game Awards.  Cotton won the POG in Game 2 despite losing 10-5, but it was his Game 4 performance that really engraved his name on the Stroh's Award.  In Game 4 Cotton ended up delivering 4 RBIs and hitting a top of the 13th HR to take a 9-8 lead over Minneapolis, unfortunately the lead didn't hold but it did give Cotton another opportunity to come up big.  In the 14th inning with the bases loaded Cotton was able to induce a big walk to bring in the go-ahead run, Cotton won the Game 4 Player of the Game as well.  Cotton continued his productiveness through games 5, 6, and 7 leading Washington to the ALCS. Cotton's substance abuse issues are public knowledge (court records, casino surveillance films, etc), so in honor of his dilemmas and wild history we are sending our NEW Stroh's Non Alcoholic Brew...crack open this savory, tasty concoction and fantasize about getting drunk Cory, you earned that much.
