How is Joey Votto not an All Star?

Charlie Manuel didn't choose him.

Thinking about the very idea that the winner of the All Star gets home field advantage in the WS for its league despite the fact that all teams must have representation and the manager of the hapless NL would rather have Omar Infante than Joey Votto makes me sad and angry at the same time. I'm glad there's no baseball this year.

Can I rage about the guy the cubs traded to get Jose Ascanio just made the all star game?

It's Omar Infante. So no, you cannot.

Whenever you can put a guy with a .717 OPS in the game that decides home field for the World Series, you gotta make that move. Fuck the All Star game. High and hard

How is Joey Votto not an All Star?

As much as it shocks my conscience to write this, how is Fat Carlos not an All-star either?

Kinda shocked me. I figured him and Byrd, and then maybe Marmot if they were feeling frisky. There are plenty of snubs. I enjoyed how they didn't even get the two best Cardinal pitchers on the team.

I didn't, because I want the NL to have the best chance to win.  The Cubs could really use home-field advantage in the World Series this year.

Silva and Marmol deserve to go but this team doesn't deserve multiple reps.

Hell, they don't deserve any but at least one has to go. Byrd is as deserving as Silva or Marmol.

It's not realistic to expect any Cardinal pitcher to survive until the All-Star game.

It's good that the Brewers have one more win than the Cubs.  It shows why they deserve to have three All-Stars.

One of the best deals the Cubs made, Hendry said, was acquiring catcher Jason Kendall in 2007. Kendall may have been bumped that year in the playoffs by Geovany Soto, but his experience helped the team.

"I don't think we would've won the division if we didn't get him," Hendry said. "His numbers don't reflect that, but he brought something to the clubhouse for a month or two."

I think he's more of the appendix of Desipio.  Yeah, it's here and you're vaguely aware of it, but only if reminded.  The only time anyone notices it is when it ruptures (on Weebs in the video game thread).  Beyond that, though, it's basically useless and offers no redeeming value.

Huh.  Most teams get to the playoffs by acquiring players with unbelievable skills and undeniable statistics.  Guess that's why most teams have won a World Series in the last hundred years...

Jason Kendall brought Soylent Green to the clubhouse?

Because he was hungry or something?
