Ok, ok so who is the all-star from this group?

I have no problem with the fans voting, per se. However, as long as the fans are voting, it is not truly an "All Star" game, but more like a "Fans' Choice" game. The biggest issue that I have with the fans voting is that the game determines home field advantage in the WS. That is just ludicrous, as Bellhorn already stated.

 

Any real baseball fan agrees with you I hope. When I was young, the game meant less but it was much more significant. It is like the voting on every foolish reality show that we have now. It is a sad sign of the times.

Your point is well taken here. I know that I don't have to tell you that I would guess that there isn't a lot of real thought going into anyone 's posts here unless they can be turned inflammatory. I agree with you - Bogaerts is an all-star but I can understand why he isn't going to the game.

 

I'm not sure what this is supposed to mean. I put a lot of thought into most of my posts.

I know you do. I actually was referring to people processing the posts of others.

Oh, you mean reading comprehension skills? LOL

 

Guilty as charged. I often don't understand what someone else is trying to say.

I was an English/History guy. I try to be concise and clear. When i post, feel free to ask for clarification if you like. I don't think that you will need to.

I'm not upset about Xander being left out.

 

But Kershaw? Really? You're leaving out Clayton friggen Kershaw?

Now that is a guy that the fans should be seeing. He is on another level that only a select few occupy. Fans of American League teams don't get to see him very much. He is the type of player that the All Star game is meant to showcase. This game is not about the Brock Holts. I feel great for Brock making the squad, but shows a startling lack of star power on the Red Sox.
