Chase Utley.

Yes, hes an amazing 2nd baseman. 2nd to none at that position (which isnt saying much)
Last year in my fantesy draft I went 5th: after A Rod, Phat Albert, Reyes and another Philly, there was only 1 logical choice for me.
Hes been one of the best hitters in this years World Series and has been a major threat every time he steps up to the plate.
But he is NO Derek Jeter, and thus, he is NO Mr November.

I’ll never meet you, and have never heard about you before and probably will never care, nor have a problem with anything you ever say again, butf*ck you Eamonn Brennan! You brought up the beast that does not speak its name. I mentioned it 1 post earlier and I still didnt define if specificlly.
You’re not alone in this Eamonn, but I found you 1st, so you suffer for it. (Take it as a compliment that someone actually read your blog. And since I linked to it, you should be thanking me.)
(You’re welcome, by the way.)

I bring this up now because I dont wanna have to listen to FOX talk about it, and you KNOW they will. Lets prove WHY Utley cannot be Mr November before too many people start seriously talking about it.
Utley tied a record that is held by Reggie Jackson aka Mr October, fine. Not all 5 came in November though, so if thats the only logic going into that decision, WRONG. shut up and dont be sore losers when the Yankees win.
Besides, aside from casually forgetting that not all of Utleys homer runs have come in the same month, these Phillies supporters are also casually forgetting another crucial fact: the title of “Mr November” has already been given to someone else, a much better player, Derek Jeter.

Now, should the Phillies lose the series, this might die forever and we’ll never have to hear about it again. Should Jeter crush a game winning homer tomorrow or game 7, he can further solidify his status and Utley never stands a chance. Maybe if Utley goes 0-10 in the next game(s) he wont be deserving of any praise and this will all just go away.
These are all very real possibilities (especially the one where the Phillies lose) so theres a chance that Chase Utley will never be associated with the month of November. But thats not why I write this. Its because if these whispers are heard by anyone working for FOX sports, then those idiots Buck and McCarver will turn the whispers into shouts…Shouting shouts that are shouted into a megaphone that make those shouts more annoying.

The whole “Jeter being Mr November” thing is a bit to blame on Buck really. He mentioned something like “Theres already a Mr October. How about a Mr November?” in passing right before Jeter hit a walk off in 2001. Buck probably kicks himself over that. So you know he’ll be on the front lines, campaigning for Utley to usurp the November throne.

And in the end, when you look at it, who would you rather be known as Mr November?
Chase Utley?
Or Derek Jeter, a man who Ozzie Guillen refers to as “God”
If Utley hits a grand slam off Rivera in the 9th inning down by 3 runs, I might reconsiter. But Jeter will probably follow with a 2 run shot in the bottom of the 9th. Because hes Jeter. Because hes the real Mr November.

I’m gonna go with God on his one

…In other news, A Rods lack of sucking this postseason is obvious, and it is obvious that Ryan Howard has decided to step up and suck in his place.
So is Howard gonna become “Mr Suck-in-November”?
