greg775 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Dye deserves to be on; little surprised, OK a lot surprised Joe made it. p.s. Glad to see CC leave the AL for selfish reasons. Kind of a loss for the city of Cleveland though. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they let people vote more than once?? Cmon techno nerd Sox fan? Vote for Dye a few million times pls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev211 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 QUOTE (Markbilliards @ Jul 6, 2008 -> 06:49 PM) I strongly disagree with all of you. Dye has been very good for us this year, but he does not deserve to get voted in over Longoria. The all star game is made so worthless by all the fan voting. Because the players who are more well liked (usually due to what team they're on) are the ones who become all stars, not the ones who deserve it per their performance on the year. Vote Longoria. If you vote a player in just because he plays for your team than you are just as bad as all those people who voted for the Boston/Yankee players like crazy. The all star game should be a matter of performance, not popularity. Now some could make an argument that Dye is more deserving than Longoria, if you really feel that way than vote for him. But considering that Evan started the year after Dye, and has played GG caliber defense, you gotta put him in there over JD. Jermaine's numbers are just as good as Longoria's Dye's numbers AVG = .308 HR = 19 RBI = 52 OBP = .363 SLG = .556 OPS = .919 Longoria's numbers AVG = .281 HR = 16 RBI = 52 OBP = .353 SLG = .537 OPS = .890 Dye is higher in every category there except RBI, where he is tied.

whitesoxin' Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Just stopping by to ask if anyone has gone to a Phils, Astros, Giants board etc. and asked to vote for Jermaine while they are voting for their guy to make it to the game? Also we should go to some of the big BoSox boards and get them to vote for Jermaine to keep the cheater Giambi out of the game. He stole the MVP from Frank in 2000 and now we can't let him steal Jermaine's trip to the All-Star Game. Yankees fans will be out in full force to get their man to the ASG at their home park so we're going to need all the help we can get. I don't know any of the other boards that is why I'm reaching out to you guys because I'm sure some of you might have posted over at some of these other teams boards once in awhile. For that guy who thinks Longoria deserves it more, Evan will have plenty of more chances to make the All-Star Game. I think Dye deserves it more this year, but he should be there instead of Crede. I'm sure as hell glad to see Joe there as a biased Sox fan though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention in 2003, he was voted in over Frank . Would have been nice to see the best player in Franchise history get to play in front of the home town fans. Nope, the rest of the nation does not care about the White Sox. I figured that out at a very young age. This would be a nice way of revenge. Too bad it is not Jeter instead of Giambi on the final man ballot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjshoe04 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 I'm disappointed that I don't have a computer right now for this, Anytime I come into contact with one, JD will be getting at least a couple more votes. I remember in 2005 my boss let me take the last 3 hours of work the two days of voting so I could vote for Pods. I must have put in so many votes those 6 hours.
