I’ve contributed a lot to my new home this week. If you haven’t been over there or haven’t created an account, what are you waiting for? I mean, you’re reading this right now…

What I’ve written about this week:

• Carlos Delgado is so obviously not the NL MVP. Heck he’s at best the fourth-best option from his own team. And Carlos Beltran, well, he actually a pretty good pick if you disqualify Albert Pujols for some dumb reason.
• What if RBIs measured real offensive production? Well, for one, you wouldn’t see Ryan Howard’s name on the leader board.
• I’m quite proud of this pseudo-study of pitchers who have posted low ERAs with crappy K/BB ratios over the past five years. As you might expect, it’s tough to do and even harder to repeat. That’s bad news for Edwin Jackson and Gregory Smith, and I would be shocked not to see Jackson traded this off-season (and maybe even Smith).
• One of my favorite activities is to pivot-table my way through Justin’s position player stats. Here’s the September 5th version.
• The Padres pitchers are actually much more to blame for the team’s struggles than the hitters. PETCO Park, anyone? And their offense has been just as productive as the Rockies’. Bet you didn’t expect that, huh?
• I tracked down five interesting football articles.
• As mentioned by others, Cliff Lee’s faced much easier competition this year than most other AL starters, including Roy Halladay.
