can anyone tell me why pudge is even in the all star game, let alone starting over posada/martinez? kenji johjima anyone?

[Redneck]

That was the very first thought I had when I looked at that list.

[ricky]

fan voting?

JJ Hardy over Jimmy Rollins? gimme a break.

Orlando cabrera got snubbed

DarkLight;1538074']Orlando cabrera got snubbed

Yep, but you gotta blame the angel fans for that one.

[AGT-Shady]

How about my boys Snell and from the Pirates, they never have a lick of offense behind them but they're still a combined 12-9 with a 2.98 ERA.

For perspective, that's a almost a full point under Cole Hamels and Brian Fuentes. :(

[Suicidal Anomaly]

Yep, but you gotta blame the angel fans for that one.

How's that? It's not like Angel fans didn't vote for him it's the 893745934875 yankme fans who think Jeter is Jesus. ESPN would cease to exist if Jeter didn't start in the all star game.

sweet o-dog!!!
