Since this is somewhat Sox related (hopefully really, really Sox related), I'm putting it in here. Some people could be interested, if not, then mods, you can delete it.

 

Starting now on ESPN.

AL Starters:

 

C Pudge

1B Giambi (f***ing Horses***)

2B Alfonso Soriano

3B Alex Rodriguez

SS Derek Jeter (Bulls***)

LF Manny Ramirez

CF Ichiro Suzuki

RF Vlad Guerrero

They will probably milk the hell out of this. We won't know the reserves for a while still.

They will probably milk the hell out of this. We won't know the reserves for a while still.

Yeah...

 

That's a bunch of crap. 'There isn't an easy out in the lineup.' While I don't think Giambi is an easy out, he's hitting .238 yet starting in the AS Game? Hell, Ross Gload is hitting better than f***ing Giambi.

f***ing Giambi!

What the hell.

 

I knew it was coming, but still...

WhiteSox.com just put up that Loiza is the ONLY White Sox player to be named to the team!!! WHAT A CROCK!!!

Freaking Loaiza?!? Over Frank and Takatsu?

NO f***ING WAY!

Yeah, that's f***ing bull s***.

 

Frank better be on 32nd man.

 

 

Even Loaiza over MB is a joke.

f***ing Giambi!

What the hell.

 

I knew it was coming, but still...

And Jeter as well. There shouldn't be ONE Yankee starting this year. Michael Young should be starting at short. Thomas/Konerko/Ortiz should start at first.

 

All-Star game my ass. Popularity contest. How about this - fans vote for the backups, yet the guys with the BEST NUMBERS start?

Stupid ESPN ran all of the AL players on the bottom line beofre they even announced the reserves or pitchers. I wonder if they noticed that and will not run it again.

Ron f***ing Belliard made it at 2B instead of Uribe.

 

Here is the All-Star Team

This is a f***ing joke.

SS Renteria

OF Bonds

OF Griffey

OF Sosa (f***ing Horsecrap bulls*** :fyou :puke :headshake :fthecubs )

4 Indians?

Torre is on crack!

WE are f***ing leading the world in offense and 2 good pitchers and get a last place TOKEN ( ONE Only ) selection f*** Joe Torre, Ron f***ing Belliard give me a f***ing break. :fyou TORRE

You know what this means if Frank is on the 32nd man...

WhiteSox.com just put up that Loiza is the ONLY White Sox player to be named to the team!!! WHAT A CROCK!!!

that is unbelivable

 

but rather than be angry over something I cannot control, I am glad

 

I am hoping this will piss themnall off and they will prove on the field who belonged on the All Star team

Well - for a second year in a row, Thomas is snubbed. Konerko also snubbed this year.

 

f*** that man.

 

Oh great - Sosa on Baseball Tonight. :puke (Haha, good one Sammy. Working hard my ass.)

The only reason I'm glad that Konerko/Thomas weren't picked is because they would have probably been asked to participate in the Home-Run Derby, and that has a tendency to ruin the hitter's swings.

 

No offense, but Loaiza shouldn't be there either. Buerhle should be, with Takatsu (Tom Gordon my f***ing ass) in the bullpen.

 

That's f***ing horses***.

MLB, showing why the NFL has eclipsed their sorry asses in popularity.

 

Screw the clueless fans.

 

Screw Joe Torre.

 

Screw Selig.

 

What a joke.

 

Frank, Buerhle, Paulie, Uribe, & Shingo, you're All-Stars in my eye. Keep up the good work.

You know what this means if Frank is on the 32nd man...

Yeah, it means he has no chance of getting on the team.
