June 1, 200422 yr Wow... this sucks... Lowell is 4th amoung NL 3rd baseman. Behind Rolen, A. Ramirez, and Ensberg. LOL..what a joke. In the OF it's. Bonds, Sosa, Griffey, Bagwell, Biggio in the top 5. I don't expect fans of other teams to vote for our guys we all know how much other fans hate our team. We don't have a big enough fanbase to really affect the voting anyhow.. LINK D.Lee is 3rd in 1B
June 1, 200422 yr What a f***ing joke... It's a really sad commentary on the ineptitude of millions of voters when Castillo is the #3 2B and Lowell is the #4 3B. What an outrage...
June 1, 200422 yr we'll get our due when jack picks the backups that 3b is a joke how do the astros have so many people? biggio? bagwell? everett? ENSBERG?
June 1, 200422 yr i know how could biggio be ahead of cabs giles of louie and ensberg and ramirez ahead of lowell com'on tell ur friends and family to vote too also any bandwagoners u see :marlins
June 1, 200422 yr The OF situation doesn't surprise me...but I really expect lowell to finish at least top 3 in voting. It's ridiculous that Ramirez is topping him right now...damn!
June 1, 200422 yr Astros fans are really stuffing the ballot box, every single one of their players is either leading or in the top-3, and in the OF they have #'s 4&5...
June 1, 200422 yr its also probably due in large to when the teams turn in all the ballots they recieve at their home parks AND the number of home dates they ahve had since balloting began.
June 1, 200422 yr whenever u have free time vote we need to catch up on some. does anybody know if people from korea can vote ??? choi might need help
June 1, 200422 yr i know how could biggio be ahead of cabs giles of louie and ensberg and ramirez ahead of lowell com'on tell ur friends and family to vote too also any bandwagoners u see :marlins No, what I meant was Castillo has been playing awfully yet he is technically higher than Lowell (who I think deserves the MVP if the season ended right now), and Lowell is behind Ramirez and Ensberg and Rolen (although that isn't a huge surprise)...
June 1, 200422 yr Take the voting away from fans, this is crazy. No way should the top 2 vote getters at AL Shortstop be Nomar and Jeter. One who hasn't played yet and the other who has slumped for most of the season. Derrek Lee has more votes than a guy hitting near .400 in Sean Casey???
June 1, 200422 yr Author The All-Star voting is a function of which team has the most FANS I guess. I mean look over in the AL, the SOX have like almost all their guys in the top 3 in everything, even a guy that has been injured ALL SEASON and hasn;t played at ALL!.. LOL... and in the NL...the CUBS and STROS managed to get all their guys int he top 5 too.. lol
June 1, 200422 yr Author This is LESS of an ALL-STAR vote and more of a "Fan Favoritte" vote. Kinda meaningless the way they do it. Fan's should have NO say in who is in the All-Star game.
June 1, 200422 yr This is LESS of an ALL-STAR vote and more of a "Fan Favoritte" vote. Kinda meaningless the way they do it. Fan's should have NO say in who is in the All-Star game. Exactly, it was taken away once and it's time to do it again.
June 1, 200422 yr Calm down, Jack is the NL manager and that means Castillo, Lowell, and possibly Penny and Benitez are guaranteed to go. Cabrera and Choi are on the bubble. We still have more than a month to go.
June 1, 200422 yr My NL ballot (who cares about the damn AL) 1B Choi FLA 2B Castillo FLA 3B Lowell FLA SS Gonzalez FLA OF Conine FLA OF Pierre FLA OF Cabrera FLA C Redmond FLA (Write In)
June 1, 200422 yr Fan should vote, but we all know the reserves decide the game. Justify the fact that a guy who hasn't played yet (Nomar) is the top vote getter in the AL for Shortstop. Justify the fact if he doesn't win, a guy having a poor season in Jeter will get the nod. Justify the fact Sean Casey is 5th in votes for 1st base.
June 1, 200422 yr My NL ballot (who cares about the damn AL) 1B Choi FLA 2B Castillo FLA 3B Lowell FLA SS Gonzalez FLA OF Conine FLA OF Pierre FLA OF Cabrera FLA C Redmond FLA (Write In) This is why voting should be taken away from the fans.
June 1, 200422 yr Author Calm down, Jack is the NL manager and that means Castillo, Lowell, and possibly Penny and Benitez are guaranteed to go. Cabrera and Choi are on the bubble. We still have more than a month to go. the only prob is that if all the scrubs get voted in because of the team they play for. Then Jack will have to make sure he picks the guys that Genuinly deserve an All-Star Appearence. That means he can't just go and pick Marlins all the way across. So for Example... Casey will have to be a reserve he can't pick Choi no way Casey gets snubbed this year.
