Kemp making the team skews that a bit. If you're going to let guys in because they were hurt, Kemp doesn't deserve it since he's missed over half his teams games. Starters should've been Braun-Cutch-Beltran, but Melky was at least AS worthy.

EDIT: Lol they didn't need another DH. Ortiz and Dunn were more than enough.

I kind of feel as if Michael Bourn is a snub. Yeah he doesnt have all the fancy homer numbers but thats not his job. He is one helluva defender and his speed is outrageous. He would be a good lead off man for the NL. Maybe Im just overthinking the importance of defense in the All-Star game.

EDWIN's average is what? 70 points higher than Dunn's?

It's a snub.

Should only be one DH. That's Papi. Edwin over Dunn though.

On second thought, Edwin not being on the team, if he's not (haven't seen the whole roster) is a serious omission. He's torn the ball to shreds the first half.

So the starters I'm looking at doesn't include McCutchen or Braun in the outfield. Far more lulzy than Austin Jackson not making it. No CarGo either.

Granderson is a Yankee. Of course he'd get the nod over anyone else.

Thanks for sticking up for me, MrMister. PP was starting to hurt me feelings.

Edwin has a bit of a stronger case than Dunn, but the omission just doesn't reach Jackson/Granderson level to me.

Well he was owning you, but insults ARE AGAINST THE RULES. AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO STILL CARES ABOUT THE RULES AROUND HERE?!?!!? /Walter Sobchak

Was hoping Salty would make it but I'm actually glad he didn't. I'm more of a fan of them getting the rest over playing so since it's only Ortiz in the ASG, I'm happy. I never vote for Sox or Mets players.

For the final vote guys, I voted Darvish/Hill.

Disappointed in no Willingham though.

For the record as well, EDWIN has made 31 starts at first base this year. He's not an exclusive DH.

Anyone else play MLB Beat The Streak? You pick a guy each day (or you can double down and take 2 but they both have to get a hit) and if your guy (guys) get a hit then you start a steak and keep it going. I just started playing, so far I've got...

Middlebrooks
Braun
Castro
Ichiro

And today I have Miggy & Melky.
