If you vote anyone but Matsui, doesn't that make Ichiro in the Home Run Derby! Since someone has to go for the Japanese part

Wow

That would be cool to see Ichiro in the Home-run derby, i would watch for sure.

by JoeCoolMan24 on Jul 6, 2005 2:57 PM PDT reply actions

voted 122 times

for Podsednik. More because I am sick of seeing Jeter and Matsui than I am thrilled with Podsednik.

I voted about 25 times

before I got bored. A Oriole's fan friend of mine voted 145 times for Podzilla. I might've voted someone else but Pods was the closest so I figured my votes would mean more.

WOW guys

Thanks for the MASSIVE support. We need to keep Jeter from this one, and Pods is getting WAVES uof support throughtout the nation. I have voted about 70 times and will vote in the next 45 mins before it ends.

Jeter deserves it...

but I'm sick of him. Go Podzilla.

Its Official

Thanks to your support Scott Podsednik has become the 32nd all-star.

by JoeCoolMan24 on Jul 6, 2005 5:54 PM PDT reply actions

HAHA!

Suck it Jeter.

I actually wanted Torri Hunter to go but when I relized that voting for Pods meant Jeter wasnt going, I had to vote for him.

Ichiro

Now the question is does MLB have the sack to put Ichiro in the derby? I hope they do.

Jeter more deserving than Podsednik

Jeter is more deserving than Podsedsnik because he has been a six time all star and performed at the highest level for a decade. Pods is a nice player but won't bring in new fans, which is the WHOLE point of the All Star Game. The all star game is a showcase of baseball and more people are interested in the Yankees and Jeter than Scott Podsedsnik, Carl Crawford and any other "underrated" player who plays in the middle of nowhere with 12000 fans a night.

bring in new fans?

Is the point of the All-Star game really bringing in new fans?

I wish that the player who was playing the best that year at their respective position were the ones who got voted in. Unfortunately, it seems like a player's reputation has too much influence (see votes for Nomar, Scott Rolen).

I understand that Jeter has All-Star numbers. And even if more people are interested in seeing Jeter, I am really glad that the AL All-Star team isn't a carbon-copy of the Yankees lineup. So eat it Jeter!

Jeter doesn't deserve anything

The only reason he has been an all star is because he plays in New York. Tejada has been better, Nomar was better, etc. Who has done more for the team? Pods or Jeter? Pods is on the best team in baseball. A catalyst. What does Jeter bring besides an egg head? Tejada and Young are already there and better. And my final argument is that he didn't get enough votes, which proves that two things are happening, the world hates him and two he wasn't good enough to get in.

I didn't know

that Chicago only got 12,000 a night. Weird since they're in first.

by Mariner John on Jul 10, 2005 12:49 PM PDT up reply actions

I love it

Everybody on Sportscenter,baseball tonight, around the horn and everyother show on ESPN can't believe that Jeter wasnt voted on the All star team

Woody Williams made me want to reach through the tv and strangle him when he said

"I can't believe that Derek Jeter isnt in the All Star, he's the face of baseball and a Hall of famer."

Bullshit! No way in hell is Jeter a HOFer.Suck it ESPN your boy isnt there.

by Goose on Jul 7, 2005 1:52 PM PDT reply actions

I hate to say it Goose...

but Jeter will be a HOFer, solely because of his post-season heroics. See Reggie Jackson. Granted Reggie was a very good player, but if it wasn't for the post-season heroics, he'd be another Jim Rice (who I personally think is a better player). Not to mention all the east cost writers voting. He may not get in on the first ballot, but he'll be in.

and it'll be a sad day for baseball

when and if it happens

Rob Dibble's reaction

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/3745186

Priceless idiocy right there.

by bluemax on Jul 7, 2005 9:20 PM PDT reply actions

That

is probably the worst article I've read in my life.

For more of Rob Dibble's hardball opinions, click here.

No thanks.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 7, 2005 9:35 PM PDT up reply actions

I mean, scroll down to another one of his pieces:

Having watched St Louis Cardinals shortstop and leadoff hitter David Eckstein now for four-plus years, he is easily one of my favorite players. He may not be able to hit like Albert Pujols, or go get fly balls like Jim Edmonds or catch and throw like Scott Rolen, but if you took all of them and squeezed them together, you would come out with a player like David Eckstein.

Actually, you'd have a HoF-caliber hitter with terrific range and the ability to play everywhere on the field.

Rob Dibble makes the world dumber.

by Jeff Sullivan on Jul 7, 2005 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions

I'll tell you why Jeter isn't on the team

It's because Torre didn't get to choose the reserves this time. Sometimes it looks like Dibble is just being a Jackass on purpose

by BlueBaron on Jul 7, 2005 10:45 PM PDT up reply actions

The Uber Cardinal

Could you merge his with Matt Morris as well so he could pitch every 5th day too?

by Graham MacAree on Jul 8, 2005 12:58 AM PDT up reply actions

His best statement was...

Jeter is the Jordan of baseball.

What the F**K?!?

Oh. You mean Jordan Knight. Okay.

Dibble gets my vote for assbag of the year.

Go M's! http://marinersmorsels.blogspot.com

by PositivePaul on Jul 8, 2005 8:42 AM PDT up reply actions

Wouldn't the Jordan...

be Barry Bonds?? Just a guess. I know he hasn't played yet this year, but Bonds is the man. Is Dibble one of Jeter's agents or something? Or does Jeter have some serious blackmail on Dibble, like Ayala must've had on Lou?
