That and about
10 other bullshit selections/snubs
I think Matt Kemp has got to be the biggest snub. 4.2 WAR. Maybe if his own manager knew not to bat him 8th.

It's like the people who argue that the MVP should only come from a playoff team.
Because over a 162 game season, you’re worthless if your team hasn’t made the playoffs.

I didn't even see the whole game, but allow me to say this:
The National League is an embarrassment to itself, from everything to the player selection, to the lineup construction, to pitching decisions and substitutions.
The NL deserves to lose year after year, given they way they go about approaching this game.

by kingcritical on Jul 14, 2009 11:31 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Agreed
Problem with the NL it seems that they have a few long term players that are great and then a few two year flare ups that make it.
I didn’t like Lincecom as a Cy Young winner and I didn’t like him starting this game. Last season he pitched in a very weak NL West. I’m not so sure the records of a lot of those team in West are gonna hold up this year as many of em have had a fairly easy sched to start things off.
I also think the fact that a lot of teams in NL East had to face off against the AL east skewered the numbers a bit.
Doesn’t seem that you see a lot of the same faces in the NL All Star Team for years on end.
