No real surprises in the A.L. other than Ichiro beating out Matsui (if you want to call that a surprise)...

I guess the were stuffing internet ballots in St Louis too...

[Mr. Mooch]

Clemens will MOST LIKELY start; so will Kent.

Berkman and Beltran also made it by player vote; however Beltran is unable to play in the game UNLESS there is a player injury. If that's the case, I can't imagine a better player than Beltran that McKeon would pick.

Hence, Casey is on the DL

No Everett; no Biggio, but the 32nd Man vote begins at 7 CST, possibly including Everett.

EDIT: and the 32nd player vote goes by the 4 or 5 players who weren't voted by fans as starters, but came in second and weren't voted in by player/manager.

EDIT 2: And Bagwell doesn't deserve to play since he's **** this year. THe only way Biggio will make it is if McKeon has compassion and more than a few player injuries/withdrawals.

[joeforte40]

I have a feeling Bagwell will be in the player vote. We'll see.

[joeforte40]

Sorry, I meant the 32nd player vote.

[red]

how do you pick 2 SS as reserves who werent in the tightest position race in allstar history.

[Nick]

Beltran won't get to play in the game because he was actually voted in as an AL star, not an NL one... he'll get to partake in all the festivities, be on the field, be considered an "all star"... but he won't get to actually play in the game.

[Mr. Mooch]

I stand corrected.

Final ballot for NL (terrible choices):

B. Abreu, PHI
S. Finley, ARI
J. Kendall, PIT
J. Pierre, FLA
A. Ramirez, CHC

And AL:

L. Ford, MIN
T. Hafner, CLE
P. Konerko, CWS
H. Matsui, NYY
F. Thomas, CWS

Sweet. My entire starting fantasy baseball roster (except for first base (Nevin) and a few pitchers) are All-Stars. No wonder I'm in first place... :D

How does B Abreu not make the team?:confused:

Those numbers were posted about a week ago. The final numbers weren't released until today. Basically Everret trailed by 6 votes with a few days left and apparently couldn't make them up

[rockets-#1]

Yeah it was 6 last week, and UNFORTUNATELY he ended up losing by 214,000.

I can't believe my votes actually counted!:)

I know i voted around 100 time for Everett after i found out he was losing. If only i voted 7 more times. :(

Or,maybe this is an NL conspirecy? They thought Edgar gave them a better chance to win. Everett did start out with the lead and then slowly lost it. Hmmmmm...........

Does anyone know if that's a record in being so close? It has to be.:confused:

[redgoose]

Nevermind....didn't realize that was last week's tallying.:rolleyes:

Still, he sure did lose alot of votes in the last weeks of counting. :confused:

<----------A few hours behind.

[rezdawg]

Abreu needs to be in the game. I cant believe he didnt make it the first time around.
