whitesoxfan101 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Crede in and Dye having to try and be the last man in is a joke. Varitek in and A.J. out is an even bigger joke. The all star game with it's flawed rosters deciding World Series home field is the biggest joke. Can't stand this system, and seeing how awful it is makes it more and more annoying every year.

whitesoxbrian Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 How about Brandon Morrow? The most consistent player on the M's, has an ERA under 1, throws 99, and isn't on the ballot? Unbelieveable. I bet if Joba would have kept at his pace and stayed in the pen, he would have been chosen even though his ERA would have been above 2.

StrangeSox Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Jermaine Dye has the 6th highest OPS in the AL and plays a decent RF. There is no logical reasoning behind him not being in the All Star game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowch Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 You'd think eventually MLB would realize that around 27/30 teams' fans don't like the system. Maybe this year they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't stand this system, and seeing how awful it is makes it more and more annoying every year. I agree that AJ Perz should be the starting catcher. Dye should be there too, but Joe is deserving as is Carlos Quentin. We should be seeing danks and or Floyd there too instead of all these Angel pitchers and too many relief pitchers. But in order to get so mnay deserving people in the roster should be expanded to 50 plus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan3530 Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 it has been said many times over the last eight pages but i just wanted to echo the sentiments: Dye not in on the regular roster is a joke. Varitek on the roster is a travesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it is, it counts for something, so I'd like the best AL roster out there when the Sox are in contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenksycat Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 the best part is that all the idiot Cubs fans voted those 2 clowns into the starting lineup. Instead of the 10+ other OF's that are better, they voted with their hearts and now can potentially lose HFA if they somehow stumble into the world series. (Although a guy with a .218 BA on the AL team is pretty disgusting) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
