Clefo Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 As an avid baseball enthusiast, I checked the results so far for MLB's All Star Game. And as usual when I check these things I found a few things that have kinda pissed me off For example in the National League Catcher Department: Player Team Total Votes Lopez, J. Braves 410,630 Rodriguez, I. Marlins 395,927 Piazza, M. Mets 282,226 Santiago, B. Giants 266,350 Matheny, M. Cardinals 187,814 There are 3 things that have.. bothered me about this to say the least: 1. Ivan Rodriguez 2. Mike Piazza 3. The Lack of Paul LoDuca I-Rod is far past his prime, in my opinion, and is playing for a Florida team that, to put it tactfully, sucks monkey nuts. As for Piazza, I don't know what the average All Star voter is smoking, but why the hell are they voting for a guy that its been known for a few months now that he's OUT FOR THE SEASON, and his team is worse than the Marlins! (For that matter, I noticed Roberto "Trade Bait" Alomar in the top 5 in second basemen) On the American league side its.. mostly okay (Although I would take Bret Boone over Alfonso Soriano any day of the week, that might just be because I hate the Yankees though), but, as usual the average fan just votes for a name, and not for anyone who is, you know, good.

ckcsaber Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Yeah, LoDuca should definitly be in the all-star game. Sadly, I wouldn't expect better, though....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tie Guy Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Fans go for the stars, that's just how it is. Half the people who vote probably don't even know what Baseball Tonight is. Javy Jopez is definately the best catcher in the game so far this season, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogue Nine Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Lopez and Santiago definitely deserve to go to the All-Star Game. Piazza is just starting to wash out now. The Mets should sell him to a needy American League team like the Tigers as a DH and give them some finanical breathing room. For that matter, they should revamp their entire infield. Mo Vaughn has been a huge bust and Alomar plays like crap. Lo Duca certainly deserves to be an All-Star as well. Selig's head will roll if he isn't.

Tie Guy Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Yeah, hardly anyone on the Mets has been good or playing well except for Galvine and Benitez, and even they are starting to slide it seems. I'm glad though, i hate the Mets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
