1. The player that "won" just so happens to be managed by the N.L.
All-Star skipper.

Not only that, he came roaring from behind.

Nothing suspicious there. :eyes:

4. It's really sad that you continue "reporting" on such insignificant facts.

I suppose you are just jealous of a manager that actually won a world series, but I thought you might act more intelligently than a ten year old like Bill O'Rielly.

Sad.

2. The sad part is that anyone cares at all.

The all-star game is a joke. You have to take at least one player from every team even if there are players far superior on other teams being left out. It's just a dumb popularity contest and the extra player vote is even dumber. Hell, Jimmy Rollins almost got voted in on the regular ballot and he's barely batting over .200.


Edit: And furthermore, acting as if those who are stuffing the box are doing anything other than what MLB wants them to do is also ridiculous. They want you to do it. They set it up that way specifically so you can vote over and over.

3. I agree.
And the idea that the winning league gets home field advantage in the playoffs is even more of a joke.

6. We're laughing at the douchebags because they can't accept that their boy was out voted.
They think it's a conspiracy. They can't accept that others did exactly what they did and followed the rules that MLB set up, and because of that someone got more votes than their beloved Pablo. You know who they're like? These guys....

5. Funniest thing down here in months. Seeing them so crushed, and floundering for an excuse is great!
Though I never took them seriously to start with. How can anyone? They're walking punchlines. :)
