07/06: Special Request
Posted by: James
I hope people don't think that this is just me being bitter (if you don't take Jorge Posada, you can't take either of the two catchers who finished BELOW HIM IN THE VOTING!) but the latest from the 12th man vote is really starting to annoy me. I have no idea how it is happening but A.J. Pierzynski of all people, is leading the vote getters right now. For goodness sake people, go out there and vote for anyone else on that ballot. It was an absolute joke when Scott Podsednik won last year and Pierzynski winning this year would cement this vote as a complete farce. EVERY PLAYER on the ballot is having a better year than A.J. If you are at all a fan of baseball and making the All-Star a showcase of the game's STARS, go to the site and vote for someone else. So, here's the plan - go to the All-Star Game website, click on Final Vote and vote for Francisco Liriano. In case, you've missed it, the 22 year old power lefty has gone 9-1 with a 1.99 ERA and is in second place right now and so has the best chance to overtake A.J. Please, I beg you.
