[Mexi]

Ian Desmond over Jed Lowrie?

and congrats Dunner
his FIRST ASG. amazing actually

 

[elcheato]

Fuck Ron Washington and his Ian Kinsler pick (I assume he picked him). Kipnis is better.

 

[bosoxlover12]

wow... AJ and Salty were the best Cs in the AL, and both got snubbed.

At least Pierz got snubbed.

Joe Mauer >>>> Salty

 

[elcheato]

Pierzynski didn't make it because he's a douche and no one likes him.

 

[Rice18]

Never would have guessed Beltre would be a starter in an all-star game this far in his career.

 

[Elite]

He's only 33...

And he gets to play in a ridiculously hitter friendly park in half his games, his home/road splits are pretty significant. He hits 50 points higher at home than he does on the road in his career with Texas.

 

[Teagz]

Darvish and Harper in the Fan Vote.

I am just saying, about 5 years ago, I would have predicted his career to be nearly done. I understand why he is in it but I just wouldn't have guessed it.

 

[cruzg24]

This is complete bullshit that Pablo Sandoval starts the ASG over David Wright. Wright leads Pablo in EVERY category except being a fatass....

Fan Voting FTW

That's because Seattle sucks.

I feel bad for King Felix

 

[Giantmetfan07]

its the way the fans vote. I read that Freddy Sanchez got 2.3 Million votes and he hasn't even fucking played this year. Obviously Wright deserved the starting nod and hopefully Pablo gets pulled after 1 inning so Wright gets the playing time he deserves.

 

[RipCity32]

Well, JV, Prince, and Cabby. Only ones who deserve it lol.

 

[Teagz]

Well, JV, Prince, and Cabby. Only ones who deserve it lol.

Jackson? lol

 

[RipCity32]

Yeah completely forgot about him when I posted that. He certainly deserved it, but everyone else on there deserved it as well. Don't see how he didn't make the final vote though.

 

[elcheato]

Because he doesn't pitch.

 

[RipCity32]

Oh what the fuck. How dumb.

remember a few years back AI and yao made the nba all-star game as starters? tmac made it too. none of those three deserved it. fan voting SUCKS
