mdbw Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Their numbers don't even compare. Beltran is a friggin chump. Is this because of fan votes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beinfest4Prez Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I can't believe Beltran is even in this game at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Z Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 I can't believe Beltran is even in this game at all! 839413[/snapback] Yeah well that's New York fans for ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdbw Posted July 4, 2005 Author Share Posted July 4, 2005 That's ridiculous that the fans pick the starters, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this. I hope Beltran is done after the first inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyggyMarlin Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 Selig's mess...Ya know, if the game is gonna count towards a team's home field advantage in the World Series, then fan control needs to be relinquished...Let the players decide their post-season fate and pick who should be able to help win the game...otherwise, drop the home field advantage aspect BS of the ASG, then you let the fans vote for a MEANINGLESS game....

TarHeel324 Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 the fans should not decide the starters in a game that counts solution: make the game meaningless again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaRLiNs_FaN_4EvA Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 yea its true Cabrera has way better numbers than Beltran!!!!!but yet again Cabrera isnt as well known Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdbw Posted July 5, 2005 Author Share Posted July 5, 2005 It also shows you the idiocy of Mets fans... they vote in Beltran over Cliff Floyd?? Compare those numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzdunlapj Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 I don't think it is Mets fans to 'blame' as much as the casual fan at the ballpark that voted for the guy they had heard of...I don't really see the big deal...it's just a all-star game, and it is still meaningless...the World Series home-field was never based on merit anyway, so it doesn't matter to me that it's being decided in another odd way.

Guest Fritz Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Remember when Beltran was good? I looked like such a genius picking him in the first round of my sole fantasy baseball league last year. Him and Jeff Kent basically carried my team at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Yea, its a shame that Cabs, Jones and Lee didn't get a chance to start.. ..but its still awesome that Cabrera is being nationaly recognized by finishing 4th in the OF vote. Definitely a good sign of things to come. He should be a perenial all-star starter for years to come after this season.. just look at Abreu, he wasn't even known last year and now he is a starter. Miguel Cabrera will be a household name by the 2006 All Star game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanleyDavidson Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 new york fans are more dedicated than us and they expect beltran to hit 30 + homeruns this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 This is EXACTLY why fans shouldn't be voting!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
