No, there are others more deserving
Um, no. Someone who has pitched 3 whole games doesn't deserve to take the place of someone who is 10-1 or better and has been good all year

Since Bud mad the All-Star game count for something (home-field in the WS), however stupid, it's no longer a sideshow, earn your spot!

He really got his butt kicked tonight. The Braves saw that he always keeps it low and outside, so they took it the other way with success.

Jeter scored 50% of the runs that won the game. Granderson hit an improbable triple that eventually scored the winning run.

The catch saved the game, no doubt about it. Granderson's triple was a gutsy play and just as important. The MVP could go either way.

Do you want to see Manny Ramirez in the All-Star Game this year?
Mon Jun 1, 2009 2:30 PM EDT
Manny Ramirez might be voted as a starter for this year's All-Star Game. What do you think? Does he belong, even though he has to miss 50 games this season for a failed drug test?

If he were on the DL, he couldn't play. Suspension should be the same. Also, he hasn't been in enough games to earn it.
