I thought this was a very funny line:

“When Bud Selig made the All-Star Game �count� for home-field advantage in the World Series, and then still allowed the unwashed, uneducated masses to vote in the players who would be playing in the game, well, that was just another stupid decision in the many that Bud has made during his tenure as Commissioner of Baseball.”

I found it even funnier when I see you screwed up the ballot. The reason your NL 1B and your AL C spots won’t “stick” is because you wrote in Fielder and Barrett. You can’t vote for Pujols for 1st base and then write-in Prince. Where is he going to play?

Your NL ballot is alright, but I’ll take

- Wright over Sandoval. They’ve got similar offensive numbers, but Wright is faster (possibly due to Sandoval pushing 3 bills) and a better defender, even if he does have a girl face. Sorry to stick a banana in the tailpipe of your Wright Hatemobile.

- Upton over Braun. Again it’s pretty close on the offensive side, but Upton gets the speed/defense edge. And he doesn’t market shirts with barf-inspired designs. And I don’t hate his guts.

Your AL ballot, on the other hand, is a masterpiece of suck. Carlos Guillen is on there as an outfielder? How did I miss this hilarious position change?

@Bad Kermit – Braun deserves to be there before Upton. The only reason Upton would be a better bet is because he could play CF. However, if you’re going to take someone off to make room for Upton, it should be Hawpe. Look at his numbers on the road (.282/.364/.534) compared to the numbers at Coors (.404/.463/.702) and you once again have a average to above-average OF looking like a superstar because of those mountains.

this is a great idea actually.

There’s a Mets fan on here?

Didn’t the Iowa Cubs knock them out of the wild card race last season?

You’re list is ridiculous. First of all, you put a bunch of pitchers on there. I didn’t say you couldn’t, but since we limited the Wood thing to only pitchers, I would think you would stay with position guys.

Greinke – 1 hit wonder (his career record is 43-48)
Soria – has had one good full season (more than I can say for Greinke)
Gonzalez – career .281 hitter? Wright is 31 points higher and currently hitting like .350
Braun – Wright has better RBI and average with just about the same HR. And Braun plays in a bandbox

Hard isn’t it? You can’t even come up with half a dozen position players who you’d take over Wright. But hey, why vote for him if he’s a Met? Those New Yorkers already have too much going for them.

How about 6 viable choices. I’ll give you a couple of the guys you chose, but you have to admit it’s a weak list. Come on – give me 10 position players. Try it.

I think we�ll all have a good laugh when Wright�s season comes to an abrupt end from a ruptured spleen he suffered from taking violent anal from a 56 year old German callboy named Stosh in the back alley of a Bennigan�s behind a dumpster.

Its too bad we can’t use Uggla for the AL ballot write-in

I’m pleasantly surprised by the ephemeral love shown for my Padres’ Adrian Gonzales, one of two great players on a bad team (the other one is a pitcher the Cubs need).

I find a disturbing lack of votes for AL superstar catcher Gregg Zaun…have you even seen his web site?

Whatevr it takes to beat Dusty’s team….and beating them they are.
