OMG!!! it did actually happen that way. I'm reading more about it now.

I love it

:rofl: He is going to end up making more money with the deferred deal than he did while playing for the Mets (more years though compared to 4-5 with the Mets).

They also still have Bret Saberhagen on the team payroll and he only played 3 years for them ($250,000 for 25 years starting in 2004).

2011 All Star Ballot

tad early..

Only Orioles player I can see making it is Zach Britton as long as he keeps up being awesome, and thats even a stretch. If not him it'll probably be Brian Roberts.

American League:

• 1B - Cabrera, Miguel
• 2B - Roberts, Brian
• SS - Andrus, Elvis
• 3B - Beltre, Adrian
• C - Wieters, Matt
• DH - Guerrero, Vladimir
• OF - Cruz, Nelson
• OF - Francoeur, Jeff
• OF - Granderson, Curtis
• Write-in - N/A

National League:

• 1B - Howard, Ryan
• 2B - Phillips, Brandon
• SS - Tulowitzki, Troy
• 3B - Jones, Chipper
• C - McCann, Brian
• OF - Braun, Ryan
• OF - Ethier, Andre
• OF - Heyward, Jason
• Write-in - N/A

Ryan Howard? Seriously? Come on. Thought you were better than that.

On his best day, Ryan Howard is the 4th best 1st baseman in the National League.

It's that time of year again.

Of all the people I get flack for, Ryan Howard?

Yes, because it's the stupidest pick.

I expect a bunch of homer picks because that's what people do, so all the O's are fine.
Elvis Andrus doesn't deserve to be an All Star but there are literally 0 AL shortstops having a good season.
Beltre is a weak pick but I don't expect you to vote for A-Rod so it's understandable.

But voting for Ryan Howard is just atrocious.

If you're just some fair weather retard who only cares about the glamor stats then you love Ryan Howard. If you like baseball, you know Howard is garbage. End of discussion.

<font color=goldenrod>Anybody who does their votes this early is retarded.</font>

Only other player at 1B having a better year than Howard at 1B is Votto..

I dont see how Howard is garbage.

Fielder and Pujols wipe their asses with Howard. He's a vanity player who gets free rbis by batting in a stacked lineup.

We'll see.

They shouldn't even be doing the All Star ballots this early anyway. I mean, Brad Emaus is listed as the Mets 2B and he's on the Rockies now. These should be released in mid May at the earliest.

Oh nice, Dempster gives up a grand slam in the first inning.


This season is over

Hey great job Demspter. Almost made it out of the first inning. So close.

...it's gonna be a long season for us Cubs fans.

HOLY COW!

What has gotten into Lance Berkman?

...dude's playing like an MVP.

Nothing like wanting to commit suicide in the bleachers at Chase Field. Does anyone fucking think this guy is actually any good anymore? Was he ever any good in the first fucking place? Jesus.

...it would've been a little easier to go thorugh the agony that will be the 2011 Cubs season, if we would've had Ryno as Manager.

LOL one out.

Sam Fuld is looking pretty good for the Rays

He's making me very happy in Fantasy, as is Lance Berkman.

Too bad the Cubs traded him to get Garza.


I expect Dempster to be on the 15 day dl or something. Not because he's injured, but because he s been so bad that at this point, you have to make up a reason for his horribleness

Lol no Jose Bautista?

That was the strangest two runs that the Jays scored in the 9th that I've ever seen lol.

Rivera hit a ground ball to Beltre who made an error, and the run scored, which left Rivera on first, Bautista on second and Patterson on Third. Beltre then lobbed the ball to the pitcher Oliver and all of a sudden Bautista breaks for third, stops halfway when he realizes Patterson is standing on third and halfway down starts running back to second. Oliver tries to throw him out at second and end sup throwing the ball out to center field and Patterson scores.

There is one good thing on the Cubs front.... Kosuke is hitting .460!!!!!!!

Kosuke avatar time

Travis Snider sent to AAA. Fuck sakes.

See, I told you Howard is terrible.

Robinson Cano is going to be this year's AL MVP...

...he's a fucking STUD.

JOSEEEEE! JOSE! JOSE JOSE!....JOSE!....JOSE!

...Woo woo woo you Cano it.

...I don't...

ESPN just called a Jose Bautista's homerun a Bautista Bomb.

Lol, alot of people are looking stupid in the media for saying Bautista was a one year wonder. Guy looks like he's gonna hit 50 again.

The White Sox are horrible..
