Vote For Manny! Do It Now! That would be so funny.

well technically you should. He gives you the best chance to win when hitting! Regardless of what team he is on, the point is to win the Allstar game!!

The point is to put deserving players on the team which Manny Ramirez is not. You cant miss over 1/2 your teams games and be deserving.

Ya right. Dude can hit the ball, hence deserving. I dont really care I just want to see a guy suspended this year be in the game, hilarious.

Whatever.. you think it would be hilarious. I think it would be stupid. I guess that's where we differ.

whats stupid about it? that hes only played half a year? he is still one of the best hitters in baseball.

I guess you just dont get it. The All Star game is to reward those players that have played great in the first half of the season - not guys who have played well in the past and have missed most of the season. It doesnt matter that he is one of the best hitters in baseball. Brandon Webb has been top3 in Cy Young award the last 3 years. If he was healthy all of a sudden should he be put on the team?

The answer is obviously NO. If Manny was put on the team it would be at the expense of a more deserving player for 2009. How would you feel if Manny was the last spot on the team and Pablo was left off because of him? I'm sure you would be b***hing then.

Just dont get what? Your opinion? Its not like your sentiments are absolute.

I disagree with you, I don't think the All-Star game is just a vote for who has performed the best in the first half of each year. I vote for who I think are the most talented players in the league because I want to watch them display their unequaled abilities. Sometimes the most talented and most successful in a year coincide, sometimes, as in the case of Manny, they do not.

I want to apologize... to the fans. Manny is now 7th in the voting and the 3 most deserving NL Of's, Ibanez, Braun, and Beltran are the 3 leading vote getters. Good job this year all you voters! Screw Manny Fricking Ramirez.

haha you gotta relax. why the hate for manny? I mean besides being a dodger.

To answer your earlier question about the stats, I do take into consideration age and performance, but like this year, manny is still the best hitting LF even if his stats arent there.

Although Sandoval, 22, did not crack the initial roster for the Midsummer Classic on July 14 in St. Louis, he is among the NL leaders in batting average (.333), doubles (23), multi-hit games (30), slugging percentage (.566), extra-base hits (38), hits (93) and OPS (on-base plus slugging percentage -- .954). The free-swinging switch-hitter stepped up his game in June, batting an NL-high .394. That included a 10-game hitting streak in which he batted .500. The versatile Sandoval has started 51 games at third base, 17 at first, three at catcher and one as a designated hitter.
