Don't forget to log on MLB.com and vote for the Astros players, I mean your favorite players. http://mlb.com AC
Ya, you can vote 25 times, per email address, so go at it, every little bit counts, I usually try to vote during my down tme at work. One thing I wish the Astros would do is encourage the voting more like the Rockets did during the home games. The Rocks would give you a free t-shirt if you filled out 100 ballots, and a signed t-shirt for 300. I know a lot of people would be willing to do it during a game, especially baseball, which moves slow and many peeps can have their mom, girlfriend, grandma, lil' sister do it, while one enjoys the game.

Lets go Stros!!.. this years All star game should be fun..with the rule change... although it seems Barry might not play hopefully lance,kent,billy, and maybe Roy and Jeff can make it in! I think kent and Lance should for sure, even though lance isnt so hot right now...
I would imagine that Kent, Billy and Bags, by way of getting voted in are for sure. Also with the publicity of the No Hitter, Dotel should get some consideration. Now with Bonds probably not wanting to play then you might see Berkman sneak in there, but the thing that might affect that is that every team has to have an All Star, that means the Pirates Rickey Henderson might make it in, a scrub from Milwaukee and San Diego could also hurt his chances.

Just a reminder, Bagwell has fallen behind Todd Helton by 8,000 votes, I know he's slumping but let's still get him into the All Star Game. AC
Kent's lead is shrinking and Bagwell's lead is VERY VERY minute. Let's get Bags and Kent in as starters, considering no other Astro will probably not make it with the exception of Wagner. VOTE!!!
Okay, NOW do you guys wanna start voting?!?! http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/n...&content_id=389400&vkey=allstar2003&fext=.jsp Come on, VOTE!
I know I'm probably beating a dead horse, but voting ends in 3 days and Bags & Kent are trailing in their respective categories by only a few votes. And for those who say, "they don't deserve to be there, blah, blah, blah." Well look at Sammy, look at Vlad, do they deserve to be starting? Probably not, let's get some more Astros on the All Star team. AC
I refuse to vote for Bagwell. I couldn't care less about who else doesn't deserve to be there, I know for a fact that Jeff Bagwell does not deserve to be anywhere close to Chicago on the 15th.
I voted for the Atlanta players I thought should go but Giles wasn't one of them, I voted for Kent instead. I couldn't vote for Bagwel however, Helton deserves it more.
