MikeJordan23 Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Seriously, how did Hafner not make the team? Huh? WTF?
treble Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Holy shit, FIVE Jays? Rios won't be able to play, so I thought maybe they'd take him anyway just so they can say they did and still put someone who deserves to be there in. Didn't think Glaus would make it, but I guess the 22 homers were too much to ignore.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted July 2, 2006 Author Report Posted July 2, 2006 I don't see how people can get so upset about Travis Hafner. Without the DH, you have David Ortiz, Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Jason Giambi. That's a VERY crowded field.
Annabelle Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 ozzie stacked his team with white sox. bah. there's like 5 of them. liriano & verlander should both have been on there. oh well.

That's a VERY crowded field. Giambi isn't on the team. Hafner is the MVP of the league. Did they really need two back up second basemen?
Guest Smues Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 I loved ESPN's list of noteable players not on the team. Roger was on the list. GEE YOU THINK?

Guest Smues Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 "You can vote as soon as this program is over at mlb.com" Funny that I just voted with no problems a minute ago. NO PLEASE DON'T STOP WATCHING OUR ALL IMPORTANT SPECIAL.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted July 2, 2006 Report Posted July 2, 2006 Im gonna stuff the ballot box for RAMON!!!! but it wont help.
Boon Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 ozzie stacked his team with white sox. bah. there's like 5 of them. liriano & verlander should both have been on there. oh well. Seriously- Buerhle? Weak.
Guest Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 The only guy that could keep Nomar out is Billy Wagner, because all the Mets fans vote.

Didn't think Glaus would make it, but I guess the 22 homers were too much to ignore. I'm amazed that many made it. I didn't think Glaus would be there, either. That's more than either the Red Sox or Yankees.
Guest NYankees Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 How the fuck did Kenny Rogers get selected? Liriano, Schilling and Mussina all have put up better numbers this year and are by far better pitchers. MLB needs to get rid of this stupid bs that every fucking team has a player on the squad.
Guest Felonies! Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Actually, I thought I read that this "every team needs a player" rule isn't a rule at all, and it's just kind of a courtesy that managers do out of tradition and such.

Liriano, Schilling and Mussina all have put up better numbers this year and are by far better pitchers. MLB needs to get rid of this stupid bs that every fucking team has a player on the squad. Detroit already had pudge starting the game, so that rule shouldn't have had anything to do with the Rogers selection.
Brett Favre Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Mike Mussina got snubbed. Seriously, with a 3.17 ERA? 9-3 record? Come on.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted July 3, 2006 Author Report Posted July 3, 2006 Mike Mussina got snubbed. Seriously, with a 3.17 ERA? 9-3 record? Come on. The problem is that there are 12 pitchers in the AL with 9+ wins, and 24 with 8+ wins. It's too easy to get lost in the pack.
World's Worst Man Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I don't see how people can get so upset about Travis Hafner. Without the DH, you have David Ortiz, Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Jason Giambi. That's a VERY crowded field. In the AL, Hafner is tied for 3rd in RBI, tied for 3rd in HR, 1st in OPS, 1st in SLG (for regular players), 1st in OPS and he's hitting a respectable .313. And thats even missing some games due to interleague play/injury. That's how people can get upset. It's completely friggin daffy.
Brett Favre Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Giambi got snubbed too then. His numbers are up there, nearly if not as good as Hafner's. Man, no Schilling, no Moose, no Hafner, no Liriano, no Mekhi Phifer.
Gert T Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 David Ross should have got in over McCann, not that he is that bad of a choice.
Annabelle Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Rogers almost leads the league in wins thats why
Mole Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 I just remembered, no Nomar! He could winning the batting title and not make the All Star game. Has that ever happened? Err, I am sure it is, but whatever.
World's Worst Man Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Rogers is 3.72/1.17/2.44 with a 10-3 record. Even though he probably got in due to the grossly overrated W/L stats, his other stats aren't too shabby. Liriano definitely should have gotten in before him though. Man, what a shitty year for all-star picks. Liriano and Hafner are both dynamite picks and they both get snubbed.

UZI Suicide Posted July 3, 2006 Report Posted July 3, 2006 Biggio hasn't had an all-star season, it has nothing to do with not having respect for him.
