chw42 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 03:17 PM) Dye is not even on the list of 5 to vote on .......I. Kinsler is on it and he will when hands down! Granderson has been s*** all year and has no business going! My question is how did Kinsler not make the f***ing team when that midget Pedroia did. Ugh.

BearSox Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 There's no reason why Pedroia should be on the team, let alone starting instead of Aaron Hill. The reserve spot should have gone to either Kinsler or Cano. Both started off really hot, but have cooled down, but none-the-less, would be better options than Pedroia.

Pedroia's got a SLG below .400. His OPS blows. At least Kinsler and Cano hit for power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxbrian Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 I hate this too, but in the end, Thornton, Dye, Pods, Jenks, etc all get some well-needed time off. If we don't like that fans vote, then next year, vote to get our guys in. Until then, who cares? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knightni Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Buehrle's going home to play in the All-Star Game. Quite a home-coming I bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Even though he might not pitch in the game, if there's one time I want to see Buehrle in St. Louis pitching at his hometown, this is the time... still wearing a whitesox sox logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 QUOTE (danman31 @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 02:41 PM) Yeah that's unforgivable. Oh well, as long as the fans vote and one team gets a mandatory player the rosters won't be the best players. I like having each team with a player, but the fan voting is stupid. If it wasn't mandatory that each team have a representative, I'm sure the White Sox wouldn't even get a player in more often than not.

joeynach Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 (edited) Someone please explain to me how .308/12/46 = Jones .286/16/44 = Zobrist .256/18/34 = Granderson are all better than .291/20/51 = Dye Seriously I dont see the logic. I thought the ASG was to select the best players, period! How is Curtis Granderson's .256BA even come close to an all star game, thats just embarrassing. And how does Ben "who the hell are you" Zobrest make the team with those eh not bad numbers. I mean seriously is this some kind of joke. Are these the best players or is someone trying to be nice to someone, this is Major League Baseball...not little leagues. It should be "your the best you go, your not you dont, u want to go, then get better" DONE Edited July 5, 2009 by joeynach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Zobrist is definitely deserving, he's been awesome this year. Adam "don't call me Pacman" Jones is borderline, but he does have the best average of all CF's, has put up some real good numbers, and is really good on D. Granderson though, he has no business being on the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zobrist has had a pretty good season, so Maddon almost has to take him over the competition. Granderson - you got me there. JD has to be in over Granderson; there's really no excuse.

Texsox Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 QUOTE (lostfan @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 02:44 PM) MLB All-Star voting is still a joke, and the fans prove again that they have no business having a say in who gets to play. I think the game is for the fans, not the players, and I do not mind letting the fans pick the players. I really think of it as a fan favorites game. Based on that, I also agree that . . . QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 5, 2009 -> 02:54 PM) I've always despised fan voting but even more so now that the game actually means something. You can't have it both ways imo, it's freakin stupid.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) If JD were playing for the Yanks or Red Sox these last few years,he would easily make the ASG each year... part of the blame goes to the Eastern SPorts Network (ESPN) for forever hyping up those two teams and the rest of the blame goes to ignorant fans who just vote out of name recognition. JD had better numbers last year than Eva Longoria and didn't make it,this year is inexcusable...I'm seriously thinking in not even watching the game I'm so pissed.
