    I love me some Asdrubal. He deserves to start IMO.

    Some of them were close enough that it didn't really matter. They were probably the closest. I went with ja-honny because he has better rate stats and defense but just has less PA for whatever reason.

    Wow. They completely snubbed Andrew McCutchen. He's not even on the final ballot. Despite leading all NL OF in fWAR and being second in bWAR.

    Fuck this shit.

    Yeah, what?

    I'm not surprised at all that Castro's the Cubs' lone selection, but I would have liked to see Sean Marshall sneak in.

    Cuddyer! He deserves it



    I knew Baker was a longshot, but maybe he'll be a replacement or something

    Because Cal Ripken Jr.

    Now watch Chipper get a BP fastball to groove in the game as well.

    And I mean you watch it, because I sure as hell am not. Unless Cutch gets in as an injury replacement or something.

    I'm really really glad that McCann got the start at catcher over Molina. And I don't care how good of a season he's had, fuck Lance Berkman.

    Robertson is the bigger all star snub than Tex, as big as CC.

    Yay, with that list of pitchers for the AL, it looks like Weaver is a lock to start now. And Howie Kendrick made it, which is nice as well. Dude has been amazing so far this year.

    I love Polanco but he really didn't deserve the nod at third. I think Stutes or Bastardo deserved a shot at a relief pitcher's spot but that just wasn't going to happen.

    Guess who now is mostly going to be now though? Kevin Correia!

    Because Cole Hamels is not going to pitch because he's pitching sunday, and he was a players' ballot selection, and will be replaced by the pitcher next in line on that ballot, Correia. Who, incidentally, was ahead of Lincecum on the players' ballot.

    ...maybe we shouldn't let the players vote on this either.

    James Shields is not going to be pitching either, which is a shame. Because he is a work of art this year.

    I was surprised at David Price's selection, everyone was, including the media arm of the team who thought it would just be Shields going by himself.. Happy for him though. He's been more up and down this year... but when he is up, he is beastly.

    And Matt Joyce as a player pick... I guess! Matt is a fun player to watch and he does have power... but I don't think Maddon will ever let him become an every day player and work himself out of slumps. He just gets benched and stays there until the replacement starts to suck (luckily for him that doesn't take long)

    No, Shields was selected. I think he's just not going to be in the game because he's scheduled to pitch next sunday, and any starter who is pitching the sunday before the game automatically doesn't get in now.

    It had rained, therefore they had put new turf down but did not re-draw the lines at all.

    I swear to God, how lucky did the Rays get with Manny? I mean that was the worst move of the offseason, getting both Damon and Manny, and then to have it completely fix itself due to Manny's idiocy. Also suddenly Casey Kotchman remembering why he was a highly rated prospect.

    I really want to be angered by that, but then again I (as an Orioles fan) understand the desire to have legends at the All star Game. In all honesty Ripken's last three All Star games he probably didn't really deserve.

    He gets his last one as a bye because he announced his retirement and it was definitely a victory-lap situation.
