how the hell does cabrera get left off the all-star team? he's certainly having a better season than michael young. and even though young's probably the only ranger that can even be considered, what's wrong with taking a 4th SS? any of them could probably play some second in the AS game? its too bad texass and baltimore's only reps are middle infielders. cabrera got shafted and deserves to be in the all-star game.

Here is what should have happened:

Manny Ramirez should have been left off, and Sammy Sosa should have been the Rangers representative.

And then Michael Young could've been left off, and Cabrera would have been in.

sorry, i'd rather have Bonderman

the goal is to win the All-Star game to get home field advantage in the World Series, and i want the best pitcher out there, and Bonderman edges out Kelvim.

let Kelvim rest - i'd hate to see Ervin pitching that 7th game at Shea Stadium instead of Anaheim.

Bonderman hasn't been better then Kelvim

Given that logic

and given the fact the newly named player will pitch one inning out of relief, then Pat Neshek should win.

That being said I am pulling for Myspace

I'm giving Figgins a big F U. Seattle isn't winning 90. I am not worried.

Lest we forget

Kelvim kicked ass in 2005 as a reliever, putting up comparable stats to what Okajima and Neshek have. He can pitch for one inning as well as anybody. The fact that he can also be a frontline starter is what makes him a better candidate.

I forgot about Okajima

I have no doubts about Kelvim's relief skills. He was dominant in 05

I'm giving Figgins a big F U. Seattle isn't winning 90. I am not worried.

does anybody remember?

when we signed him that deep voiced, mullet headed, lick jeff brantley on baseball tonight called it the worst off season free agent signing.

by thejd on Jul 3, 2007 12:21 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I don't recall it

bu I agree with your assesment of Jeff brantley and beieve his obtuse inability to cognate would have inspired him to make that call...

the signing or the extension?

by cupie on Jul 3, 2007 1:08 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

anybody know...

....whether voting would cost me $$$? I have t-mobile and unlimited text messaging, and voting by text is about 50x faster than online. Can't find info about it on t-mo's website. Anybody know?

the padres know how to do it

in an article about the final vote and its marketing, the padres set up a line of computers and are making fans entering the stadium vote for chris young all homestand long.
