I was surprised Jackson wasn't on the Final Vote. Overall I think the voting did a good job with who deserved it. Other guys are having good years, but you can't fit everyone on the teams. Plus, players always seem to make it in as injury replacements.

Does suck to see the Final Votes and can already predict who will win. Harper and Darvish. Although, I'd like to see Chipper make it, one last time.

Again, Jackson wasn't on the final vote because the AL has 12 pitchers, and the NL has 13.

Notice how the NL final vote is only hitters.

i said Dunn was never an all-star, my bad

I do its gives a fan of every team a guy to root for in the ASG.

Chipper's replacing Kemp
so that means Harper could win the Final Vote without controversy of making it over Chipper

After nearly a three-month Twitter sabbatical, Mets GM Sandy Alderson reemerged on the social media site on Sunday, and seemed annoyed that San Francisco Giants fans outvoted Mets fans in the All-Star voting for starting NL third baseman. Pablo Sandoval beat David Wright by more than 1.6 million votes.

“Wright vs. Sandoval: A city of 8 million was outvoted by a city of 800,000,” Alderson tweeted Sunday night.

The former architect of the Oakland A’s continued his Twitter antics Tuesday, taking a shot at the fans of his former team’s Bay Area rivals.

“ASG election of ‘Kung Fu Panda’ shows the value of a cute nickname,” he said. “Surprised Giants fans didn’t elect a ‘ball dude’ to start at 3B.”

Wow. It's cool that Alderson is speaking his mind and all but it seems as if he's taking shots a Sandoval himself, and that's not cool in my opinion.

Giants fans were ballot stuffing for more than just Sandoval. Brandon Crawford placed 2nd in shortstop voting by only 300,000 votes, Freddy Sanchez 4th among 2nd basemen and hasn't even played this year, Angel Pagan was 5th among outfielders, Brandon Belt 2nd among first basemen.

Bryce better get in, then you can make it 8 players off my fantasy team in this game

I wouldn't mind that

Prince Fielder over Paul Konerko is also bullshit.
