Vote for Reynolds - we'll vote for Figgins

by Jim McLennan on Jul 6, 2009 11:39 AM PDT Comment 67 comments

Ladies and gentlemen of Halos Heaven, I come to you from AZSnakePit.com with a proposition. We each have one player listed on the Final Man ballot for the All-Star game and I know you're voting as vigorously for Chone Figgins as we are for Mark Reynolds. But if you're like us, you probably don't have a massive interest in the ballot for the other league.

So I offer you a suggestion: vote for our man, Mark Reynolds, and I will instruct the masses of the SnakePit nation to add Chone Figgins to their ballot. Figgins and Reynolds: the '09 Dream Ticket. I believe our announcers have already contacted your guys to the same end, so let's get this done from the ground up too, and see both of these thoroughly deserving candidates in the game next week.

This Fan-Post is authored by an independent fan. Tell us what you think and how you feel.

Agreed

Already done friend. Mark Reynolds is truly deserving in the NL.

Appreciate it

Here’s proof of our end of the bargain. I know you guys don’t want another Dodger, in the shape of Matt Kemp, to make it…

I feel bad because I was splitting my NL votes between Sandoval and Victorino.

I’m going for Reynolds now, you can count on that.

Hope my new votes for Mr. BigFly or Nothing beats what what I did yesterday for the Flying Hawaiian. I love Victorino’s attitude. How can you not like that guy? But I still voted today for Mark Reynolds.

Rangers and SF are working together.

I was checking out the other AL West sites to see if there were any other agreements being made, and it’s true.

Check the SnakePit

There’s only one AL player mentioned at the top of the homepage. But now you mention it, there appear to be some shenanigans on the Angels end…

The first “alliance” of this year’s Final Vote was also revealed on Monday, when the Angels and Dodgers agreed to back each other’s Los Angeles-market candidate.

– Link
And a rather disturbing logo on the Angels home page urging fans to ‘Vote SoCal’. Sheesh, your own team aligning themselves with the Dodgers… :-(

and Mark Reynolds is 4th out of the 5 NL candidates.

Wonder if the people at AN would vote for Figgy/Reynolds?

I know that at face value it would never fly, I mean the A’s hate us and vice verse, but they would have the opportunity to jam their crosstown rivals, and keep a doyer from the ASG, just a little payback for 88’. Food for thought.

Didn’t Reynolds have Nicky’s number on his hat the day after it happened. I think I remember seeing video of that on MLB Network.

Arte Moreno did try and buy us before he got you guys – so no, probably not so different! Kinda wonder how our franchise history would have been different if he’d not been rebuffed by Jerry Colangelo. Our beer might have been cheaper, at the very least. :-)

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a real blast: we’ve had a lot of fun with the whole thing. The voting’s now over, but win or lose, we appreciate the support you gave our guy, and fingers crossed at least one of them will make it to the game. I’ll also be pulling for the Angels the rest of the way as my proxy American League team. Hope to see you in the World Series some time [though probably not 2009…]
