July 3, 201114 yr Pretty ridiculous. Lets hope he gets in through the vote in. But this is beyond stupidity, even tho 1B is stacked, Konerko deserves it and so does Humber, but there are a ton of good pitchers, but seeing Cuddyer make it in front of Konerko is disgusting. Forgot, Congrats to Quentin on his selection. Edited July 4, 201114 yr by knightni

Forgot, Congrats to Quentin on his selection. The Twins need a representative. Although I think Span was much more deserving. Swap Span and Quentin and Cuddyer and Konerko and I think it seems a lot more fair.
July 3, 201114 yr I don't get too upset when Sox players don't make it because I figure they can use the rest. I do think Konerko earned a spot though.
July 3, 201114 yr Author For sure, its a shame. Konerko has numbers better than 85% of the roster. Heck Konerko can even be up for MVP if we make the post season, would be in stiff competition with Adrian Gonzalez. But MVP candidate nonetheless, biggest All-star snub.
July 3, 201114 yr Aaron Crow made the all-star team? My goodness... If KC gets Gordon + Crow and we only get Quentin, Ron Washington needs to go to rehab.
July 3, 201114 yr Fans selected 17 starters (including an AL DH), the players themselves chose 17 position players and 16 pitchers (10 starters plus six relievers), and the two managers -- in conjunction with MLB -- handpicked 10 pitchers and six reserves. Are the non-starter selections made public?
July 3, 201114 yr Paulie was a ridiculous snub. But it seems the AL is full of them. Jeter shouldn't be allowed, Alexei should in all fairness be the starting SS. AJ got a snub at catcher. Humber, Sabathia got snubbed. So much bad.
July 3, 201114 yr QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) Its also tough seeing Brandon League make it over Sergio Santos Oh WHAT the f***.
July 3, 201114 yr QUOTE (kapzk @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 11:53 AM) Its also tough seeing Brandon League make it over Sergio Santos I can understand League. He leads the AL in saves. But Chris Perez? WTF? Santos has been way better. Other than Crow and Perez, I can't argue that the pitchers selections are all that horrible. Gio had to go since the A's had no other all-stars.
July 3, 201114 yr QUOTE (dielac @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 11:49 AM) PK is on the final vote ballot. Lets get it done soxtalk. It's also in Arizona where the lives!! Let's get him voted in!!
July 3, 201114 yr What are Jeter, Martin and Wieters doing on that team? I refuse to watch that crap.
July 3, 201114 yr Alexei's recent slump must have took him out of the running for a reserve spot. Cabrera and Peralta have far better offensive numbers this year.
July 3, 201114 yr QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 3, 2011 -> 12:00 PM) What are Jeter, Martin and Wieters doing on that team? I refuse to watch that crap. Jeter's an automatic vote-in every year.
July 3, 201114 yr I hope someone pisses in Washington's coke. And I'm tired of Hamilton, like milkman said he got in cause he was a coke addict.
