Cubs slugger Aramis Ramirez was announced as the N.L. winner of the Hank Aaron Award shortly before Game Four of the World Series on Sunday night. Partly voted on by the fans, the award recognizes each league's best offensive performer. Ramirez finished 2008 with a .297 averag, 27 homers, and 111 RBI's. Congrats, Aramis, but you know what would have been better than winning an award Sunday night? Playing in the game Sunday night. Not that we're bitter or anything....

According to Dave van Dyck, the award was completely based on fan voting. Thank god those stupid fans didn't vote for someone with a .357 batting average, 37 home runs, and 116 RBI (with 30 fewer at-bats than Ramirez).
Chicago is a bigger market than the others, therefore our "star" gets more votes then the ones that maybe deserved it more. Yes, I am also Bitter.......
