July 8, 200422 yr Justice is served for Abreu, I have no idea what you mean by popularity pool Cape and I really hope your not implying Pierre deserved this over Abreu.
July 8, 200422 yr Dude, this is terrific news. Abreu gets in, and Matsui is actually having a better year than 2003. The Big Hurt got stiffed, but he's a White Sock so who gives a fart?
July 8, 200422 yr The whole idea of letting fans vote blows goats. I'm surprised McGwire, Rose and Ripken aren't starting this year thanks to the fans.
July 8, 200422 yr Abreu deserves to be there more than anyone ... top 5 outfielder in the league ... and no one really cares GO BOBBY ... im really happy he made it
July 8, 200422 yr Cant really complain, but 7 friggin Yanks? 446324[/snapback] The only Yank who doesn't deserve it is Giambi cuz he's been injured in one way or another for the better part of the year, but All Star game has less to do with statistics than it does with popularity.
July 8, 200422 yr Anyone find the final figures yet? I'm interested to see how close the voting was. (Areu/Ramirez) and Matsui vs. Konero+Thomas...
July 9, 200422 yr The only Yank who doesn't deserve it is Giambi cuz he's been injured in one way or another for the better part of the year, but All Star game has less to do with statistics than it does with popularity. 447109[/snapback] Jeter doesn't deserve the start. That my friend would be Carlos Guillen who has a higher batting avg, and more RBIs. He might have more HR's too, but I don't know off the top of my head.
July 9, 200422 yr 8 Yankees now! Vazquez in for Hudson. In the NL, Lo Duca subs for Casey. With all due respect, Trader Jack is a dumbass. Overbay deserves the spot.
July 9, 200422 yr Well, he doesn't have much of a face at the moment thanks to that chair in Yankee Stadium
July 9, 200422 yr Yeah, because of the best catch of all time. Man I creamed my pants when I saw him catch that ball in fair territory.

Overbay deserves the spot. 447890[/snapback] Too many first basemen. They should have given that spot to Drew or Dunn. The thing that pisses me off is that AJ>> Lo Duca. If any other catcher deserves a spot besides Estrade, it's Pierzynski. The guy's been on fire the last month and a half, and is the best catcher the team has had in ages.
