i'm sorry.. but this is bullshit. There is no way in the world that Brian Giles is not an All-Star.

Kim?? are you kidding me?? Yes, he has put together a nice season so far, but it has not been all-star caliiber...

Brenley is a ****ing idiot.

[bd811]

i think Konerko should be the starter!!:angry: and what about Michael Barret? I thought he whouldve made the team at least...

youre right. Giles should be there instead of Gonzo or Dunn. 6 DBacks? CMON!!:hmm:

[GiveHyzduashot]

Don't get me started. Don't bother.

Where's that smiley that's ranting and has %*^$ coming out of his mouth? That explains it best.

[Fullabull]

Go to mlb.com and vote for the 30th man.
voting started at 8 pm est.
Giles and chavez are leading

[GiveHyzduashot]

And that's how it will be on July 2!!

[Slammin' Sammy]

In the AL i find funny that there r no BACK UP 2nd basemen! Oh well, Soriano is the best 2nd baseman in BaseBall right now so just hope he dont get hurt!

[bd811]

theyll probably have one of the shortstops play 2B for a few innings. That was pretty stupid not to take an extra 2B and take 5 SS

[Fullabull]

The plan is to have Jeter come in as a 2nd baseman cuz there are 4 SS that are deserving.

[bd811]

they were askin him about that and he said he doesnt like playin 2B. somethin like hed rather play any other position

[imgreat95]

the thinking in the AL is that the shortstops are all good enough that they should be able to play 2nd base.

[Baseball Guru]

I think a month ago I would say Barrett should have gone but he has slumped horribly the last month or so ans his average is down to .283 and he doesnt have the power....
I am very disappointed that both Santiago and Miller made it over Lo Duca who i think is more deserving ....Santiago's OBP% is HORRIBLE!!!

I was kinda disappointed that Pedro Astacio did not make the team as he has a sub 3.00 ERA....

I definitely agree and am happy my guy Konerko made it but you cant go wrong with him or Giambi as the starter....

I think that Eric Chavez should have gotten the nod over Ventura and Batista but especially Ventura....

As for Giles, I do agree he should be in but he should be in for Gonzo as Dunn is just as deserving as Giles IMO...

Those are just some initial reactions to the picks...

[Fullabull]

Tejada, Jeter, & Omar otherwise might not make the team.
I think they are worthy.

I'm not happy that there will be 7 Skankes at the game. kim should not be there. Kenarko wasen't even on the ballot and if I can't see the guys name or spell it for that manner then I'm not voteing for him even though he deserves to be a starter just one of those over looked and in some points underrated same for Giles.:hmm:

thats true. they do have very similar stats. but as the white sox fan of the site, i still say Konerko should start!:biggrin: ;)

and thats the problem! people dont go to the trouble to write a name down, so he doesnt get more votes that he deserves! Thomas hasnt been the sox 1st baseman since att least 1999. THATS 3 YEARS! theres no reason he should be on the ballot anyway!

[imgreat95]

I can't believe that Thome is not there either...

[rockin500]

no ones ever totally happy about the allstars.

[Baseball Guru]

I actually also think that Larry Walker maybe more than any other player should be in.....
He really is having another GREAT year.....:thumbsup:

I would have voted for himm if I knew how to spell his name if you go back to the Mets Chi Sox PBP after a while I just put that dude

[bd811]

lol:bigsquare

[Slammin' Sammy]

Im happy to say I actually did vote for Konerko. I have him on my fantasy Baseball team and i know he is having a great season. Im glad he made it.

[GiveHyzduashot]

Question: How do you know who is leading???

[Slammin' Sammy]

good question... *whisper* maybe he just hopes

i heard Robin Ventura might play 2B if needed. i certainly don't want Sori playing too long (the yanks would be pretty screwed if he gets injured :nope: )!

[sheffield_rocks]

yea well they wouldnt be off too good if Ventura injured himself ...

there are six Yankees going: Giambi (voted in), Soriano (voted in), Posada (voted in), Jeter, Ventura, and Rivera.

yeah but Robin won't be playing 9 innings. it's a possibility Sori will, and Sori has been the Yanks' MVP for the first half of the season.

Agreed, I'm happy he made it as well...The 2 times I filled out a ballot I did a write in for him:biggrin: Well deserved!!

I also have him on my fantasy teams....Ask Josh, he knows I'm a big Konerko fan;) :biggrin:

[sheffield_rocks]

Well um there ARE 6 Diamondbacks going so Joe Torre should be able to bring a couple also...

[sheffield_rocks]

Lets see here 3 Yankees decided by votes 3 D'backs decided by votes....

[I Are Baboon]

The same thing happens every year. No matter who gets chosen, there will always be players that are snubbed (e.g. Johnny Damon :biggrin: ), and there will always be people that are pissed about it. Personally, I look at who gets chosen and just shrug.

[Liter22]

I just voted for the 30th man and still there is no Konarko on the AL side and from the ballot over all stinks the Nl side has a couple of guys that shouldn't be in there same for the AL side. Right now I'm stuffing the box with Tome and Giles

[Baseball Guru]

Vin, Konerko made the team already as a reserve so he is not listed as being available as the 30th man....
