I have to admit, even I didn't think dude would get voted in as a starter, BY THE FANS!!! By the players, maybe. Or added by LaRussa, with the tacit approval of Bud Selig holding his nose. Hey Bud, Giant fans buy tickets too.
I'm not sure all those last minute votes were all coming from Frisco either. Too laid back, punching ballots or voting on the Internet is too time consuming and non-productive for them. I even found it pretty tedious. And I only voted once.
I might be considered one of Bonds bigger fans, and I was getting the vote for Bonds and Molina stuff, since I'm connected to every SF Giants team and fan site or blog known to man, and I'll tell you honestly, I voted for Dude ONCE. ONE TIME. That's it.
And I wouldn't have voted late, because I would have thought that my vote and Giants fans votes versus the other 29 teams fans negative votes would have been like voting for Ron Paul in the Republican primary. It might be the right thing to do, but it won't work out right in the end.
But this one came out right. The fans always get it right and its their game, or at least that's what we always hear. The haters could have rallied around Soriano or Matt Holliday or whomever they thought could save the world and the democracy. But they didn't. Or they didn't do it well enough. And just like the Gore backers, now all they can do is cry about what might have been.
Seeing Bonds vs. Beckett or Verlander might be the only reason to watch the game.
By the way, if there is any game where the DH should be used, in NL parks and AL parks, it's in the All-Star Game. I can't wait to see Chris Young bat against C.C. Sabathia. That might be the funniest All-Star matchup since Krukkie vs. The Big Unit.
Good comedy there. It should be mandatory to pinch-hit for the pitchers spot every time in this game. Everybody plays, just like in Little League.
