Why fans shouldn't decide who goes into the all-star game:
1. Buster Posey, Giants: 559,428 votes
2. Willson Contreras, Cubs: 355,289

1. Anthony Rizzo, Cubs: 452,620
2. Ryan Zimmerman, Nationals: 359,055

1. Daniel Murphy, Nationals: 669,643
2. Javier Baez, Cubs: 474,119

1. Kris Bryant, Cubs: 632,900
2. Nolan Arenado, Rockies: 392,051

1. Corey Seager, Dodgers: 399,347
2. Addison Russell, Cubs: 379,640

1. Bryce Harper, Nationals: 900,079
2. Charlie Blackmon, Rockies: 520,479
3. Jason Heyward, Cubs: 344,166
4. Ben Zobrist, Cubs: 327,231
5. Kyle Schwarber, Cubs: 305,449

I am so glad that home field advantage won't be decided by it this year.

I could do without seeing LAD in that three-way tie for first, but this will indeed do for now. Meanwhile, Adam Wainwright got his second superwin of the year yesterday (driving in more runs than given up). I'm not sure if that's an official stat or something some internet board made up, but I like it. Wainwright has two now, Martinez has one, and I think Jaime Garcia got one the other night himself.

I think the Cards started really tanking just after I left. Now that I'm back, it's time for them to eventually go on a winning streak again. Then again, I don't think they have the talent for that this year.

Well, they *are* playing the laughable Phillies right now. Yesterday's final score was hilarious. 8-1... in 11 innings. :P

Also, argh Dodgers don't they EVER lose?!?! :evil:

I have no interest in baseball if it turns into a homerun fest.

My gods. My freaking gods. The D-Backs' manager is dangerously stupid. Even after last night's absolute disaster, he's sticking with Fernando Rodney as their closer.

The guy has an ERA of close to 6. He's blown his last two saves, and blew several others early in the season. And last night hit "Epic Fail" territory, as the moron allowed six straight batters to reach... *four* of them on walks! You don't freaking keep a guy in the ninth who *does* stuff like that! Gah! Even on his *better* days, he's one of those "adventurous" types who has to work out of two on, nobody out situations. All sticking with the guy does at this point is ensure that no ninth inning lead is safe, and empower opposing teams, who know just how much of a failure as a closer he is. Maybe he was great in the past, but he's not anymore. And the sad part is, it's not like the D-Backs don't have options. They have several other players in their bullpen who have an ERA of under 2! Use them instead!

I wanted the NL to win the All-Star Game last night, and *two* consecutive D-Backs hitters had a chance to be the hero in the 9th, with both failing. Which kinda bummed me out.

But. The one who hit the game winning homer (and was also named MVP) was a Mariner. And the winning pitcher was from the Red Sox. Two of my other favorite teams. So I guess I can't be *too* upset. :P

It's really been like a month and a half since anyone's posted in this? Uh... baseball! Watching the Cards go into a tailspin after that winning streak sure was something. Good thing I'm a Cubs fan first, and they're in first place. Yes.

Probably because everyone who posts in this thread also goes to Discordhaus, and we've been annoying everyone with discussing baseball there lately instead. :P
