MLB All-Star teams (predictions, then actual selections)

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Who is the NL DH?

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Tejada and Guzman over Jose Reyes?
Aramis Ramirz over David Wright?
Nate McClouth over Xavier Nady?
No Ryan Howard and his N.L.-leading 76 RBIs?

Terrible, terrible job.

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

God awful reserves for the NL. Where's Texeria?

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Jason Varitek?????????

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

BTW, if the Yankees or Red Sox were leading MLB in ERA, and didn't have an All-Star from the pitching staff, TBS would have already called for an investigation.

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

I'd just like to take this opportunity to congratulate the .219-hitting Jason Varitek on his All-Star berth.

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Did he get voted on or is he a reserve? Because if he is a reserve that might be the worst All-Star pick in the history of the game.

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Consiering he's in with a .285 BA and a whopping 7 homers, should we just assume that Fukudome will be voted in every year?

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Mauer's the starter. Even the Red Sox fans aren't that ridiculous.

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

But it's 'Tek!!

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Varitek doesn't belong at all in the All-Star game. I have no idea what Francona is thinking.

 

Re: MLB All-Star teams (prediction)

Varitek, whom I admire, hasn't had a hit since Memorial Day or thereabouts. Fans are screaming for him to be pinch-hit for and to drop batting lefty. And he's an ALL-STAR? Terry, that's patronage, not managing.
Can't complain about the fan voting this year. They did a horseshit job, but so did the players and managers.
