Also, it's amazing. We have three All-Stars and still have two (major) snubs. Who saw that coming?

Yu Darvish: "I voted for Jake Peavy"

 

http://rangersblog.dallasnews.com/2012/07/...ake-peavy.html/

I was really impressed with the effort the Sox put into getting votes for Peavy. Seems like a really good week for the chemistry in the clubhouse.

I'm not convinced it works exactly like that.

They can vote just like we do..............not much to convince!

Did they have the final numbers? was it at least close?

THANK YOU, WHITE SOX FANS

 

White Sox fans - you're awesome!

 

I can't even begin to express my appreciation for everything you did this week to try and get me on the American League roster for the All-Star Game. Like I said all along, even more than winning or losing the Final Man vote, I feel incredibly blessed to have the support of the front office, my coaches and teammates and, of course, you, the best fans in baseball. Though it didn't go in our favor, this vote and the amount of effort put into it - from the campaign taglines and videos to all the words of encouragement and excitement - reminded me of everything I love about baseball.

 

I'd like to congratulate Yu Darvish of the Rangers - he's a great pitcher, and I know he'll be a valuable addition to the AL staff. And I wish my All-Star teammates Paul Konerko, Adam Dunn and Chris Sale, along with the whole AL club, the best of luck in bringing us home-field advantage in the World Series - because I strongly believe that it's going to matter to our ballclub in the end. I can't wait to get back on the mound and do everything I can to help us capture the AL Central Division title and win another World Series championship for White Sox fans and the city of Chicago. Get ready for a whole lot of fun during the second half!

 

Thanks again, White Sox fans.

 

Sincerely -

Jake Peavy

You can make strong arguments for Peavy, Rios and AJ.

 

 

King Felix is pitching Sunday, according to MLB.com. So Jake still has a chance.

f*** me. I voted 200 times.

 

Any pitchers scheduled to go that won't be on the roster? Is Sabathia gonna pitch?

 

 

Sabathia will miss the game/not pitch from what I read on mlb.com.

 

Does this open up a spot for JP?

You can make strong arguments for Peavy, Rios and AJ.

 

But AJ and Rios are flat out ridiculous snubs.

I'm guessing you meant Peavy

Peavy will replace CJ Wilson on the AS team.

Hawk just said it on the broadcast. For Wilson.

 

Hell yes!

 

Now AJ on the other hand...<.>

Congrats Jake!

AJ angry.

 

But yay!

AJ angry.

 

But yay!

And Alex...but oh well...enjoy the break, fellas.

Congrats JP

I hope Napoli falls down the stairs and has a [minor] injury

Goin' to take Wyatt and Jacob. I got two other boys, but they don't know what's goin' awn.

 

That said, I hope he doesn't get in the game. Tip your cap. Enjoy the game.

Way to go, Jake. I was one of many who doubted your acquisition and your injury plagued past, but you're really bringing it in 2012. Keep it up. Have some fun.

 

I always wondered how the personal accomplishments work in this situation, does both Peavy and Wilson get an All star team appearance in their resume?

I believe so.

I don't. I hope AJ stays snubbed, Napoli goes 0-4 with 4ks and AJ plays the second half mad as hell.

I like this idea. But, I think we are deserving on some more All-Stars. AJ certainly but we seem to miss Alex Rios. What a season he is having!

The All Star selections are a joke. It's all about popularity and what team players play for. Yes, there are the manager picks, but as we've seen this year, even they don't mean much. Ozzie did the same thing in 2006. If the All Star game continues to mean something, the best players should be playing, not the most popular.
