2008 World Series MVP: Washington v. Houston

The 2008 Stroh's World Series MVP Award goes to.....

SP PEDRO "LOOSE" MACIAS, WAS. Round of Applause!!

The ALCS MVP comes back and wins the World Series MVP with another clutch performance, this time against Houston. This World Series MVP is more of a coronation for the whole postseason as Macias was unbeatable and won an unprecedented three Game 7's. Macias first took the mound against the Black Gold in Game 3 with the Admirals down 2 games to 0 and hope dissipating like Seattle fog. Loose was able to march out there and pitch 6.1 innings, only allowing 4 hits and 2 runs putting Washington in a position to win. The bullpen wasn't able to hold the lead and Washington found themselves down by 4 going into the 9th but managed to come back and rally. The series played out to a Game 7 where Macias would find himself in his 3rd Game 7 situation of the season. This time the Admirals left no doubt, nor did Macias who gathered the W. Loose went on to finish the game with 6.0 IP and 2 ER. In the entire postseason of 2008 he would finish 4-0 in 6 starts with a 1.66 ERA in 38 IP, 25 K's and a 0.92 WHIP...simply stellar. Let the big dogs "loose" tonight fella with some supreme ice-cold Stroh's, fine ladies, and election night coverage on this first Tuesday of November 2008.
