and then you have Dustin Pedroia voted in over Ian Kinsler. Good job fans. These are the same coastal fans who nearly voted .212 hitting J-Roll in over Hanley Ramirez.

Karl, good point on Garner.I doubt Shapiro cares or knows though. Wedge is “his guy.”

Couldn’t agree more about the Howard/Dunn situation. I am happy however to see Tim Wakefield make it to the All Star game this year. At least I’ll know that he’ll appreciate it which is much more than I can say for certain other individuals who coast through the all star game like it is nothing. If the players don’t take the game seriously, why should the MLB expect its fans to?

Think of Phil Garner with the Astros a couple years back. He took over in mid-season and the Astros came out of nowhere to be in the thick of things in the Central. If I recall, they captured the NL Wildcard that year.
