Miguel Cabrera was named the AL Most Valuable Player for the second year running on Thursday, surprising just about no one. That doesn't mean there wasn't a whole host of anger and snarky comments from the Mike Trout supporters of the Internet world...
American League 2013 MVP: Trout supporters unhappy with Cabrera win
TROUTRAGE!!!

Allow us to reel you in to another Trout/Cabrera yelling match, with most of the punches thrown at the Baseball Writers Association of America.
Some writers were rather calm about their unhappiness at the outcome:
Well, at least Trout finished second.

Miggy WAS better this year. Better than Miggy LAST year. But not better than Trout in either.

I prefer my MVP to come from a contender, but I wasn't going to penalize Trout for Moreno's failings with #Angels. Trout most value, period.

Some others... not so much:
The BBWAA has failed its annual intelligence test. Again.

I look forward to BBWAA voters explaining how Miguel Cabrera's Sept didn't matter, lalalamajesticpresencewilltowinblahblahblah. Banana oil.

Others were quick to point out that one guy -- there’s always that one guy -- who almost left one of the favorites off the ballot completely:
Somehow Mike Trout got a seventh-place vote for MVP. Seventh, as in someone thought there were six better players than him in the AL.

But, of course, not everyone thinks the BBWAA voted for the wrong guy:
We obviously think the BBWAA got this right -- again!
