New York Mets Baseball

Why was there no mets in the All star game?

there also should be Wright or Beltrangamerbrad1

Beltran is not an allstar this year. Bad BA and only 13 HRs.

You can claim Wright should've gone over A. Ramirez, as a sub, but not over Chipper.

And there is only so many reserve spots open, and you have to include every team

Because none deserve it...maybe Wright, but the Cubs fans just came out in way more force this year. CrimzonTide

The fans vote for the starters. With Chipper batting .388, he deserves the starter role, and got it.

Wright may slip in as the DH.

is david ortiz a DH for the AL I thought he was injured and wasn't able to playgamerbrad1

He'll be there, but he won't play.

I'll agree to that. That's what happens when the fans vote......

I agree and disagree. I think the AS game is about fun, and for the fans primarily.

With that said, with this stupid "Winner gets HOF Advatange" thing, it's too important to be left up to the fans

Fans only voted for there favorite players.Not whos good

Meh. It's not that big a deal. In baseball, the home team only wins roughly 55% of the time.

Reyes didn't get in simply because He wasn't the best SS in the NL. Ramirez and Guzman are doing better than ReyesRing_of_fire

And how do they explain Tejada as a backup SS in there, Around .280s batting average with only 10 homers. (plus name in the Mitchell report)

David Wright might get in, none of them really deserve it, but too many cubs, soto, soriano, etc dont deserve it.

The cubs fans spammed the vote obviously.

Go Phillies!!

did anybody notice that chase utley has been in the all star game 3 straight yearsgamerbrad1

ya and he deserves it year after year

Soriano isnt starting. infact he isnt playing. they wont let him risk hurting his hand more since is should be ready to start again after thebreak. and i think Fukudome does deserve it. He has been solid all year

Bauers-Twin

are you kidding Soto is leading many of the rookie standings in the NL, and Fukudome is in the top five in most of them too. Soriano is only going to support the team cause of his injury though. he isnt playing

Then at least let there be a modified list to vote from for the fans, no more injured people like David Ortiz taking away a roster spot, and theoretically the starting nod over Milton Bradly. CrimzonTide

Yep, the solution is simple: permit league officials to change the names that appear on the ballot. Don't just go with the Opening Day rosters. It's understandable if the paper ballots can't be changed, but there's no reason the online ones can't be tweaked. Allow the league to add the likes of Carlos Quentin

Even as a Red Sox fan I have to admit Varitek is a poor choice. Cube_of_MooN

[QUOTE="Ring_of_fire"]Reyes didn't get in simply because He wasn't the best SS in the NL. Ramirez and Guzman are doing better than ReyesCube_of_MooN

Guzman is leading the league in SS BA. .313. 16 points higher than Reyes who's below .300, with a close OBP.

besides, Guzman is the lone Nats All Star, therefore, Reyes is out.

Even if the Nats had someone else, and Guzman was out, Theriot is more deserving than Reyes

[QUOTE="Cube_of_MooN"]Even as a Red Sox fan I have to admit Varitek is a poor choice. CrimzonTide

it's him being "The heart of the team" non-sense

Exactly. Also, the players need to get their act together. Jason Varitek? Seriously?CrimzonTide

Obviously, Varitek has a reputation for bringing cookies and pie for his teammates. There's no other explanation for him being on the team.

That's all I can imagine. Or maybe it's the extremely impressive "C" on his jersey. That means he has to be good. CrimzonTide

That's just a reminder for the laundry guy to use cold water when washing their uniforms.

I'm guessing its due to the fact that the Red Sox are popular, his name is recognizable, and that the crop of AL catchers is weak to begin with, not that Varitek is the best of them by any means.Cube_of_MooN

Theriot has a higher BA and OBP than Reyes... .313 to .297 and .390 to .357

No. It's the fact there are more deserving players with better stats that make Reyes not an allstar

But really though I don't trust ESPN analysts much at all. I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree here. :P

well, I'll agree with you that Reyes deserved it far more than Tejada, and it is all a matter of opinion.

I'm just happy Chipper Jones got the nod at starting third base this year.
