Did anyone else crack up at Mark Redman making the team? I think this means Iguchi is going for sure because Grudzalianakeliaek is out of the picture.

 

 

I think what Ozzie should have done, kind of as a symbolic protest of having to take a player from every team, is pick the worst Royal possible. Then, let him ride the pine the whole game. It would have been just as good as picking Redman.

 

Incidently, wasn't Redman a Marlin when Ozzie coached there? Maybe that's why he was picked.

Besides the fact that his coach was the guy picking the rosters, can anyone here rationalize Buehrle (or you can just insert AL starter not named Johan Santana) making the team over Verlander?

 

Verlander is #1 in the AL in W's and #2 in the AL in ERA.

 

Seems like an royal screw job to me.

He's talking about the Tigers. The Sox don't have the best pitching in the league..

I hope Guillen purposely puts Mariano Rivera in the 6th inning just to hear people complain. Baseball Tonight crew (namely Phillips) made a point of having him close the 9th. "No respect to Bobby Jenks," though.

Seems like a snub job to me.

There is a case for a few guys to get in over Buehrle and Redmond.

I wasn't looking for sympathy. Not at all. I was looking for someone's rationalization? If there was one out there.

He plays for the Tigers and Ozzie was picking the rosters. Isn't that enough reason?

ozzie already said Rivera will close it out, because he respects him that much.

No way to rationalize it. It always happens. The all star game manager brings as many of his boys as he can. It is just as messed up as the AL starting line up full of Yankees and Red Sox.

So is Thome. Probably Jenks, Crede, Dye, Contreras, and Buerhle.
