Doubt he'll get it, "too many" blunders fresh in Met fan's heads, even with the casual or non fans, it has been documented that he is clearly not the reason for the Mets' success this year

Maybe not, but if the NL wants to win, I'd sure as hell have Billy Wagner relieving instead of Brian Fuentes.

Especially with another Colorado player on the roster...WTF?

Wagner doesn't deserve it. Not even close.

I'd rather vote for Nomar. He's had a great comeback season.

I voted for Wagner.

There - I said it!

That's weak. A vote for Wagner is a dis of everyone else on that ballot, not to mention Duaner Sanchez and Chad Bradford.

Look for either a scroll or a handsome man underneath to differentiate.

Do the writers take turns writing the generic "All-Star voting is flawed" columns, or is it the same writers each year?

It's pretty flawed.

The National League hasn't won in 10 years, in past years that wouldn't bother me but this year it could be very helpful for the Mets if the NL won..LGNL

But it's been covered. And it was covered last year. And the year before that. And the year before that. So why write the same article every year?

Well, I don't suppose re-writing the same article is good journalism. But campaigning for change takes beating certain points to death until a tipping point in popular opinion forces change.

From the list of National Leaguers nominated, I'd go with Nomar. He's having a pretty damn good season for someone most had given up on as an everyday player.

Even if I felt he deserved it, I wouldn't vote for him - The Mets would be better served if Wags has the three days off.

Haven't seen this on the forum yet though it probably is somewhere, it's been mentioned at least a billion times on the radio: Young David will be competing in the Home Run Derby. Not sure how he got picked. Does anyone know?

I thnik MLB just ask guys to compete, don't they even take guys that are not All-Stars?

Elster88
Jul 07 2006 04:51 PM

I thought it was the top 4 guys in HRs for each league, but I'm not sure how it works if one of those guys isn't actually in the AS game

Roy Oswalt named as Pedro's replacement for the All-Star game.

ESIT:..Magglio Ordonez will replace Manny for the AL.
