2013 San Francisco Giants Thread

Bottom line is that as long as there is the fan vote there will be injustices. This year Carlos Ruiz should be starting at C and Wright should be starting at 3B. As Giants fan it will be so much fun to watch our guys in the game but it doesnt make it right.

Sounds like somebody needs to write a letter to their congressman.

I feel empty when the giants dont play.

STFU Braun, go do some more steroids. Shouldn't have won the MVP over Kemp in the first place.

to finish the quote "Those San Francisco fans are incredible supportive. I just think they're excited. Their team is playing really well. A lot of times, individual accolades are a result of team success. And their team is playing great right now. Clearly, people there are fired up in supporting their team."

he's butt-hurt but trying to put on a good face about it.

Didn't see the rest of it, how easily taken out of context that was. But still, everyone should stop complaining about how the Giants are in over others and tell their fans to actually vote.

Quite frankly I don't give half a s**t about the ASG as its an absolute crock of s**t to begin with considering Bud Selig is a joke and let it end in a tie In '02.

Fact of the matter is if it's an exhibition, then let the fans vote. If it "means something" then let the coaches and players decide who plays. If I were any other team in the league I'd be pissed if my team ended up losing the world series because Brandon Crawford started over someone way better than him and didn't get home field because of it.

I agree. I'm sure Texas wasnt real happy that they didnt get home field advantage 2 straight years because the AL lost the AS Game. Since it does mean something the best players should start and not every team should have to be represented.

Thank you Reds

I have a feeling the Dodgers are going to get really desperate and make a horrific trade, much like we did last year.

What is the NL starting lineup?

Major League Baseball is taking a chance that a significant number of people will be dissuaded from watching the All-Star game because of the dilution of the game's quality brought about by so-called ballot stuffing. .. Or not?

Dodgers should obtain the services of A. Huff and place him as the starting first baseman. In exchange, we get one of their relief pitchers..

We'll take Ronald Belisario, thank you very much.

They will wait it out for Kemp and Ethier. Uribe got injured today.

Over in LA. 1.5 game lead

Colletti did learn under Sabean so that could be possible
