Unintentionally funny headline from the Atlanta Journal Constitution:
Is the All-Star voting process flawed?

From the News...
]
Willie Randolph, a six-time selection as a player, is headed back to the All-Star Game after an 18-year absence. NL skipper Tony La Russa invited Randolph to be one of his coaches at the July 10 exhibition in San Francisco.
Randolph played for La Russa in Oakland in 1990. The two also were teammates in the minors one season in Charleston, W.Va.

Not for nothing but I don't see what good it does for baseball, the Mets, their fans or Paul LoDuca to be the center of a "get out the vote" campaign.
I mean I could see it if a player were a write-in candidate and, importanly, HAD A GOOD CASE to beat the guy in front of him, who by the way has earned his lead by playing better than every other guy at his position and has never been to the All-Star Game before.
This pasrtisan, unsportsmanlike bullshit is one reason (of many) I could give two shits about the All-Star game anymore.

I'm grouchy too. But I'm most grouchy about the centralization of MLB websites and promotion. You just know there's a shillbot protocol released into the grand code of MLB.com sites, sorting out who is closest to first place for each team without actually being in first, and generating the same online article/mass e-mail for each of these guys.
If the same shillbot is pushing one group to put Cabrera ahead of David Wright and pushing another to put Chipper Jones ahead, why should anyone care?

would human poster edgy dc happen to know where a certain underutilized spring-wound contraption might be able to send his resume to apply for said shillbot position?
m.e.t.b.o.t. feels like there is perhaps more in the world that can accomplished by an enterprising mechanism, in addition to the primary duty of schaefer vote tabulation.
and of course, the opportunity to earn some cash on the side, with which perhaps to purchase some 'bling' would be rather welcome. everybody needs a little bling. even robots.

m.e.t.b.o.t. wouldn't compromise his nominal loyalty to the Mets by shiling for players from every other MLB team, would m.e.t.b.o.t.?

The only Mets that deserve to be in the A/S game are: Reyes and Wright; no other offensive player belongs there; no starter belongs there and although Wags has been pretty solid, there are a bunch of NL closers that have been even more impressive...

the financial reward would have to be significant. m.e.t.b.o.t. would likely need a new paint job, and a new acronym, at a minimum.
good acronyms are a very rare commodity, and command top dollar.
if shillbot is not a well-paying enough vocation, then there would be no benefit to taking the position.
m.e.t.b.o.t. is merely exploring the opportunities that might exist out there.

Might as well add this [url=http://www.metsblog.com/blog/_archives/2007/6/19/3032796.html]metsblog[/url] post to the thread for posterity.
]Carlos Delgado, on the relentless announcements, while talking to reporters after the game…
“(Hahaha) I did it online, during the fifth inning. Well, they’re asking for five times, during the game, so if everyone voted five times today he was going to overcome Martin, so I did it five times in the fifth inning.”
Lo Duca, on whether he noticed the solicitation, and whether he voted for himself, when talking to reporters after the win…
“No I did not, and how could you not notice it. It was a little overboard (hahaha). Umm, it was fine, it’s pretty fun. I had a couple of the Twins hitters come up and say they voted for me before they came up at-bat, so, it was pretty funny.” |

Is it wrong for me to wish Barry Bonds, Griffey and Soriano all have an avalanche of votes in the next week to knock Beltran OUT of the ASG?
