July 5, 201114 yr I voted a ton of times for Podsednik and AJ when they were on the final ballots, but I don't think I'll vote even once for Konerko. It's nothing against PK, I just don't give a s*** about this game and whether or not he goes. The whole ASG annoys me, from the voting to every team needing a representative to the fact that it weighs into the World Series for some stupid reason. I don't think I've even watched the last two games or any of the ASB festivities. And seriously, if I were Konerko, I'd rather just go home for those three days instead of having to take part in such a farcical game. Sorry to take away from the point of the thread, I think I just needed to vocalize (so to speak) my reasoning for not caring.

July 5, 201114 yr Author QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 03:15 PM) Great minds think alike. Sure PK would not object to having a couple days in his castle in Scotsdale. Vote him in baby...
July 5, 201114 yr I've voted for Paulie via text a little over 2,000 already. I wish the All Star ballot was done via text!
July 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Jul 5, 2011 -> 11:31 PM) Voted. Do they update numbers? Yeah. Paulie led each of the first two updates. Next one should come tomorrow afternoon.
July 6, 201114 yr I've voted over 100 times on MLB.com and now have been voting a ton via text and will continue to do so. Paulie is way more deserving than many of the current "All-Stars".

July 6, 201114 yr QUOTE (Leonard Zelig @ Jul 6, 2011 -> 01:42 AM) I hope that isn't f***ing hyperbole. I'm saying a lot of the guys on the squad aren't more deserving than Paulie. He shouldn't have to be on the Final Vote ballot to get in. He's having a great year.

July 6, 201114 yr I just had a small plane go over me pulling a banner saying "Vote For Paul Konerko." Are fans behind this? Maybe the one or more of the players? Pretty cool anyway.

July 6, 201114 yr That could have been a banner for local race for Comptroller. Paul Gustaffson is running this year.
