rangercal Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 QUOTE(ScottPodRulez22 @ Jul 3, 2005 -> 10:37 PM) The truth dosent go down here very well with some people. I could care less if we deserve postion players or not. I agree we don't deserve any. This makes up for the snubs in the past. Paulie last year Frank 2003 Frank 2000 (but was 2nd for mvp) :headshake Torre screwed Paulie and Frank last year by putting them both on the last ballot( splitting the votes) Francona did it this year to the yanks. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we had enough pitchers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 lol I just had to vote for Rogers. But honestly I want Buerhle to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie Montana Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 I dont want Roger to start. I dont even want him to show up. All the media attention will be on him instead of the All Star game itself. This guy shoulda had a a far more strict punishment than missing 4 starts. Its sad how athletes are held by the hand and given lee way on everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palesox38 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Either Buehrle or Garland should start the all star game for a simple reason- THE SOX HAVE THE MOST TO PLAY FOR!! The best team in baseball doesn't have a starting position player, so a pitcher should start the game. If they want to have the all star game decide WS home field advantage, then the best team should have a starter. This is also the same reason Podsednik should get the final spot.

Kalapse Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Or they could have the pitcher having the best season in the American League start the AS game, not to mention the fact that his team is in the playoff race, 4.5 out of the East. Halladay. Period. Give Jon and Mark some rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree with you if this didn't have advantage for the world series hanging in the balance, but it does, so if they want the best player to start then they have to take the WS home field advantage rule away.

For some reason, I don't think the players get all jacked up about the WS Home Field Advantage. While it is a great honor, give them the rest and have them sit and watch. The honor is being there, not playing in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnthraxFan93 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Bob Wickman... Just throw off Tony Larussa game plan.. He be so confused, AL wins hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PutItOnTheBoard Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 my biased pick is for mark to start....but in all reality halladay has had a better overall season to date so you have to go with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofIChiSox Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 you can't go wrong with either of our two or halladay, I voted for Garland though just because at the beginning of the year he would have been the least likely candidate, and everybody likes an underdog.

All three have been good and Garland was clearly a suprise. I guess it doesnt matter if its between Garland, Buerhle, and Halladay. They all have had a hella of a year and one can argue why each should start but my brain hurts right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
