justBLAZE Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Congrats to Matt. It is beyond me however how Alex Rios and Paul Konerko don't make the all-star team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalls2598 Posted July 4, 2010 Author Share Posted July 4, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 11:45 AM) What a travesty that David Ortiz made it over Konerko. And over his own teammate in Youkilis. I would guess Paulie, Rios and Youk are on the final vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) The All Star game is such a joke, lol at some of the selections to this game including ours. I literally would not watch or pay attention to any of it if it weren't so f***ing stupid and decided home field advantage in the World Series. Even there though, the only reason i'll have any interest is we're back in the race now. Edited July 4, 2010 by whitesoxfan101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Even with home field at stake, I couldn't care less about the All-Star Game. Ortiz is having a good first half, Konerko is having a better one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 (edited) They even got the Thornton part wrong IMO, I think Putz is more deserving if you're going to go that route and somehow not put Paulie or Rios in.

chw42 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Vote Paulie in. This is embarrassing. Thornton deserves it, but not picking Rios just makes this seem extremely stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Wait a minute! I hate the Red Sox. But no Adrian Beltre? He's only been one of the 10 best players in baseball this year. And I'm not surprised at all that Rios/Konerko didn't make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asmithxc Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 QUOTE (smalls2598 @ Jul 4, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Final Vote Konerko Swisher Delmon Young Michael Young Youk Rios not even on the final vote list? What a joke. Ortiz has no business being on the team. Though Votto didn't make the team in the NL, either, which is similarly ridiculous.

When the f*** will MLB abolish the ridiculous rule of every team requiring at least 1 player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 The home field advantage and every team gets a player rules are just mind numbingly stupid. But MLB seems to think they both lead to more people watching on tv, which is why they probably aren't going anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 There's a reason why this game really means nothing to a large portion of the fans. It's just real hard to care about something as poorly conceived as the f***ing All-Star game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just real hard to care about something as poorly conceived as the f***ing All-Star game. It's really a game that in most ways is targeting the less intelligent fans when you look at how it's selected and who generally makes it. I'd have no problem with that and would simply ignore the entire thing but for the fact that it somehow decides who has home field in the f***ing World Series. Ridiculous.

Yeah, but back in 05, the excitement about the White Sox was insane and I suspect we got a lot of help from the anti Yankees crowd in voting as well.
