[sheed]

Woot! Congrats to Miggy and Papa Grande.

 

[RipCity32]

Boesch got snubbed.
But congrats to Miggy and Valverde.

 

[snipezo]

Looking forward to the Home Run Derby.

 

[Pugz]

w00t, tigers getting some love.

 

[sheed]

Looking forward to the Home Run Derby.

Same. Cabrera's about to poop on people.

 

[RipCity32]

Cabrera better not mess up his swing.

 

[Mexi]

I'm tired, but I got to get this off my chest before I forget.

1. Get rid of Holliday and add Andrew McCutchen

2. With the Bucs rep in AMc, get rid of Evan Meek and add Luke Gregorson/Heath Bell/Mat Latos

3. Omar Infante? the <Censored>. Insert Ryan Zimmerman instead

4. With Zim in, get rid of Matt Capps who is ass, and add Gregorson/Bell/Latos.-----Pads need 2 pitchers. best freaking staff in baseball and no all-star? what a freaking joke, and I hate the Pads

5. Raffy Furcal should be in over Jose Reyes.

6. Joey Votto has way better numbers than Howard. Not even close. did you guys hear Charlie? He said Howard got in because thats his guy. no other reason, just that thats his guy. SMFH

7. um, AL is full of lefties. Clayton Kershaw is the best lefty starter in the NL and his numbers are better than Lincecum. Charlie? do you realize this? did you realize that their is only 1 lefty on your damn roster

8. Arthur Rhodes? fine. have a lefty reliever. BUT WHY NOT BILLY WAGNER? or if you want a middle reliever, Hong-Chih Kuo is miles ahead of Rhodes.
Lefty specialists go against lefties, right? Kuo vs lefties this season: 0-30 with 16 K's. damn

and the AL. my oh my. More homer bull <Censored>.
CC Sabathia and Phil Hughes over Jered Weaver?
fine, have one of those 2 yanks. 1.

but where is Weav?
8-3, 2.7 ERA, 124 K's (most in the AL) and only 26 walks. wow. those numbers murk CC and Hughes

Cisco Liriano got snubbed too, but thats because of Choo being hurt. he would have been in over Fausto

some more AL stuff: Michael Young should be in over ARod and Brennan Boesch being snubbed alongside Rios, but got to draw the line somewhere. I guess get rid of Bautista and add Boesch or Rios

/end rant. long ass post. can i get an Amen?
enjoy

 

[VC15]

^^^Who cares?^^^

 

[elcheato]

Usually when a player is hurt they announce them on the roster and then add the replacement, Choo was not announced, so I think Fausto was in regardless of Choo's injury.

 

[cruzg24]

Wright is the starting 3rd baseman, thats what im talking about. Glad to see Reyes make it as well, but no Pelfrey? Cmon man, he's been one of the best pitchers this year.

 

[elcheato]

If you get someone in the game who doesn't deserve to be in, then I guess you deserve a snub.

 

[cruzg24]

If you get someone in the game who doesn't deserve to be in, then I guess you deserve a snub.

Actually I wouldve rathered seen Pelfrey make it, then see Reyes make it. Pelfrey plays at his best when he has confidence and I think the All-Star game believe it or not wouldve done wonders for him in the 2nd half.

 

[elcheato]

The only starting pitcher there that Pelfery could have made it over was Carpenter but he made it on reputation. The biggest pitching snub in the NL was Mat Latos though.

 

[cruzg24]

I think its stupid to have 1 player from every team selected, the best players should make it because they deserve it the most.

 

[.GR]

Trevor Cahill started the year in AAA, and gets selected to the All Star game in his second season. Awesome. Too bad he won't be eligible to pitch in the game since he pitches that Sunday.

 

[cruzg24]

I dont know what it is about the Athletics minor league coaches, but they sure know how to develop major league arms. We need to sign a couple of them, lol.

 

[The Guid]

Kevin Youkilis should have made it but the Sox have 6 guys going so I'm not going to really bitch about it but no Mat Latos or Joey Votto for the NL is ludicrous.

 

[Pujolsrules22]

Votto is ultimate snub. He better get in on Final Vote or whatever.

 

[cruzg24]

Yea, Votto will definitely get in as the final vote. Cardinals AND Reds fan? Thats just weird...
