If you follow Bill and The Common Man on Twitter, you may have noticed that they had a short disagreement a couple weeks back about whether pitchers should be eligible to win the MVP award. Bill, ever the jackass, wrote that he wanted to cruelly expel them from the process by legal means or simple shunning, stripping them of their basic rights as a baseball player and a human being. The Common Man benevolently believed that all who played baseball should have a chance to win the award, as befits their God-given human dignity. Unable to come to an agreement in 140 characters or less, they agreed to pistols at dawn to settle the issue.
When neither showed up, owing to them both being cowards not wanting to get shot, they decided to settle it via a blogfight. Each will get an opening statement (which they wrote without reading the other's comments) and then a chance to respond. Feel free to continue the debate with them, or with each other, in the comments.
