Judge is a great player, but Cal Raleigh had the best ever season by a catcher and should have been the MVP. Bad enough that the oligarch teams dominate the sport. They shouldn't geta leg up in post-season awards too.

Blue Jays went from 74 wins in 2024 to 94 wins in 2025, won the AL East, had the best record in the AL, won the AL pennant, and were an inch away from winning the World Series, & have a manager who is very well-loved by his players. But sure, that’s not worthy of Manager of the Year. Bravo, voters!

Something I really love about a constitutional monarchy: Our Governor General presides over offical ceremonies like Remembrance Day, not some elected douche who's looking for votes. And when the GG is sick (today) the Chief Justice does it. And I don't even know his name.
