Series MVP mulling retirement

Game-winning RBIs in two clinching victories.

With two different teams!

Dude's had one hell of a ride...

Too bad he was a total bust in Boston but good for him...

as clutch a s Jeter in the playoffs with far less opportunities....

No better way to go out.

You know THATS not happening. Favre is so full of himself, I'm surprised he can find his way to the stadium.

I didn't like the way he left St. Louis, but he was a great Cardinal for a number of years. Such a solid player and a clutch hitter too. I hope he retires on this very positive note.

Oh, and that is 3 World Series titles in 5 years for the supposedly vastly inferior National League.

Maybe the Yankees should sign him for $25M then. Renteria IS the Mexican Derek Jeter!

Favre looks so old and out of his element this year. Eventually his career would end badly. Looks like that's now, and he's going to take the coaching staff with him.

The Renteria for Andy Marte trade was awesome!

So was the Braden Looper for Edgar trade a few years back.

Then the Braves traded him to the Tigers for Jair Jurjjens. Also nice.

He hit .276 with 70 RBIs and 100 runs for Boston. I know he committed a ton of errors, but to call him a TOTAL Bust is overstating it. His offense was quite productive.

All Tigers fans would like to thank fat toad Renteria for doing NOTHING for the Tigers in 2008, POS! Also, thanks to Aubrey Huff for hitting .189 with 2 HR in 100 AB's when the Tigers picked you up at the deadline in 2009, if you had gotten even one big hit game 163 would not have been needed. To both of you a BIG F U!

Renteria hit .270 with 10 HRs for the Tigers. How is that NOTHING? The guy gets a really bad rap.

I'll go on record as saying he was excellent in St. Louis. Probably the best SS in the NL for the time he was here.

yep with Detroit he hit .270 with a .382 slugging % in 2008, not awful but look at 2007. The year prior he hit .332 with a .470 slugging %. I'd say a 60+ point drop in average and nearly 90 point drop in slugging is significant. Also, he played AWFUL D at short that season in Detroit as he came into spring training overweight and out of shape.

come back for another couple million...money is money.
