ALL-STAR VOTING

Hey baseball fans, that time of the season is quickly approaching when you have to put on your thinking caps and figure out through all the muck and hype who REALLY deserves to go to the ALL-STAR game.

I know, I know, most of you who actually follow baseball have come to realize just how much of a joke the ALL-STAR game has become, especially the year when they stopped play because it was going into extra innings with players who made it on past performances and not on how they were during the end of the prior season and how they had been playing until the time that the ballots are to be cast.

So, here is my challenge to you. Look at the ballot and seriously choose the player who deserves it, not the one you like or just because his name is well known. Let me put it this way, unless he has an awesome May and June, David Wright should not be amongst those who are to be considered even though his name is on the ballot. Sorry David ..... nothing personal .... although maybe my words might just light a fire under his butt.

I have found a direct link to the voting ballot, so you can go to MLB.com directly, locate the ad for the All-Star 2009 Online Ballot voting. It is on the right side of the home page .... sponsored by Sprint ..... and no I do not work for them or get paid for mentioning them.

Let's see if ALL of the voters can get it right this year ... so hopefully those who should will get to play ball.
