It’s a terrible thing that CC isn’t a starter.

Fan Voting didn't help the AL starters(NL is like perfect)

Too Bad Evan had such a bad June, he’d have had a lot more votes

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 1:40 PM EDT up reply actions

I really want to say NL fans are not as big of homers as AL fans are.

but I know that can’t be true.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 1:42 PM EDT up reply actions

Pedroia and hamilton are starting

and don’t even deserve to be there. Same with jeter.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 1:43 PM EDT reply actions

At least Jeter is having a good bounce back year(not starter worthy though)

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 1:46 PM EDT up reply actions

They're there based on their 'body of work'

not just this half season

It should be based on first half performance.

Don't remove it, just have it count 1/3

fans, managers, players

I like how Griffey Jr. is listed as an outfielder.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 5, 2009 1:49 PM EDT up reply actions

"OF"

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

by P Brady on Jul 5, 2009 1:50 PM EDT up reply actions

I like how Griffey isn't retired.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 1:50 PM EDT up reply actions

Or how Damon is 8th in voting

It’s bad enough Griffey is 7th.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions

oh Abreu over Sizemore

I guess some yankee fans thought he was still on the team and voted for him.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 1:51 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs

It's sad that people think Ellsbury is a good player

except BA, his numbers are the same as BJ & that includes BJ being non-existant the 1st 2 months

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 1:53 PM EDT up reply actions

Ellsbury isn't lazy.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 5, 2009 1:54 PM EDT up reply actions

he does wompum firewater and frybread

I wonder who the starting pitchers are.

My boyfriend lincecum for the NL of course.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 1:55 PM EDT reply actions

Grienke, Halladay, and Verlander

Wakefield in as well.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions

Wakefield must've made the 33rd spot probably

but wow AL has some bad pitchers

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions

Zack Greinke
Roy Halladay
Justin Verlander
TIM WAKEFIELD
Mark Buehrle
Jonathan Papelbon

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 2:04 PM EDT up reply actions

No Howell?

Tsk, tsk.

Hello.

by killa3312 on Jul 5, 2009 1:57 PM EDT reply actions

Howell is better than Rivera and Papelbon this year.

Absolute bullshit that he isn’t in.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 5, 2009 1:57 PM EDT reply actions

Brian FUENTES MADE IT IN

that’s really sad

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions

FUCKING CUNT FUENTES

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

by P Brady on Jul 5, 2009 1:58 PM EDT up reply actions

Maddon didn't have much of a choice

because Crawford, Bartlett, and Zobrist were all deserving as well, and god forbid the Rays have five All-Stars.

Hello.

by killa3312 on Jul 5, 2009 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions

i coulda done without CC to be honest

or Barty, but Barty kinda was the only option at SS.

by daveh33 on Jul 5, 2009 2:17 PM EDT up reply actions

Reserves

AL Reserves:
C Victor Martinez

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 2:02 PM EDT reply actions

Inge got screwed and Kinsler should've started

otherwise I like it ’cept Hunter should be starting in CF

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 2:05 PM EDT up reply actions

You mean adam jones.

by putupyourDUKES on Jul 5, 2009 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions

Either would be better

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 2:10 PM EDT up reply actions

So retarded on Howell.

He’s better than Papelbon, it’s not even close.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 5, 2009 2:06 PM EDT reply actions

Sorry how many saves does he have?

Swav or Die
For the lulz

by SRQman on Jul 5, 2009 2:06 PM EDT up reply actions

I knew baseball players were too retarded to realize he's really good.

But Maddon? Come on.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 5, 2009 2:08 PM EDT up reply actions

Papelbon was player chosen

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 2:09 PM EDT up reply actions

Fuentes was Maddon chosen.

by R.J. Anderson on Jul 5, 2009 2:16 PM EDT up reply actions

Oh, then that's not good

by Transplanted on Jul 5, 2009 2:17 PM EDT up reply actions

Saves!!!!!

Oh well, in the end it’s irrelevant. I just figured Maddon would give recognition to someone who really, really deserved it like he did with Bailey/Zobrist.
