The closest player in MLB to Tiger is Pujols. They are both ridiculously talented, are doing things no one has ever done, and have won everything there is to win.Originally Posted by Error

nothing personal, but this could be the dumbest thing i've ever read in the sports forum here

pujols is kind of a dick and won once. i would say tiger's more like rivera.
Rivera? No way. No pitcher could be compared to Tiger. They don't play every day, and a closer plays 2/9 of the games they do play on a good day.

if you're gonna DQ pitchers then the whole baseball player comparison kinda falls apart
(which it should, because it was terrible, i'm glad error is another country)
EDIT: also, the whole PITCHERS DON'T PLAY EVERY DAY thing is silly because when a pitcher is in the game he is probably more responsible for the outcomes of his innings more than everyone else on the field (meaning both teams) combined

I agree it's a weak comparison, but my logic follows the same reason pitchers should very rarely be MVP... though guys like Grienke and Santana this year are making an early case.

pitchers maybe shouldn't be MVPs because they have their own awards but there have been many cases when a pitcher has clearly been the best and most valuable player in a season and not been given the award precisely because he got the cy young

The Dodgers are off today. I really hate off days...my day seems so incomplete without a Dodger game to watch.

I know what you mean. The Brewers are off today and its weird not at least being able to check the gamecast.

OK fine it was a dumb comparison.
I wasn't trying to say it applied in every way. Obviously one plays a team sport and one is a single person sport. I was just trying to say that in the eyes of the media, A-Rod has been baseball's golden boy forever. Just like Tiger is golfs. And while Tiger has gone on to conquer the world and deserves the praise he recieved, he could have failed. Like A-Rod has failed so far. And A-Rod has been around for a long time now. So it might not ever happen. And now it's never going to happen without someone saying he was juicing when he did it.
