(still tryng to figure that out since the game is in AZ. I guess I could research it or read AN article, but fuck it)<br /><br />Also, never mind 'duk. He's a Cub fan. He doesn't see baseball in terms of winning or losing, good players or bad. It's all about who the hottie you're with in the left field bleachers (RIGHT FIELD SUCKS) might recognize so she can tell all he friend she saw the great Darren Jagger get a hit off Kenny Woods and then ,aybe you'll catch a dry handie laterChris Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12152452626681072765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300012139741038635.post-27681462373457755932011-07-04T21:42:53.325-07:002011-07-04T21:42:53.325-07:00Baseball has to be the sport with the most retarde...Baseball has to be the sport with the most retarded All-Star selections. Every year multiple washed up and over rated players get selected and young stars get legitimately shafted. <br /><br />Andrew McCutchen is third in all of baseball in WAR and he doesn't even have the opportunity of being voted in by the fans. Naturally the selection for the Pirates? Joel Freaking Hanrahan. "But he leads the league in saves" *Puke* <br /><br />Larry, I totally agree with what you're saying and I think the coverage leads to fans' disproportionate opinion of players in MLB. If we did a list of most overrated players it would probably be almost all players from the teams you mentioned.<br /><br />Derek Jeter<br />CC Sabbathia<br />Alex Rodriguez<br />Jorge Posada<br />Jonathan Papelbon<br />Jimmy Rollins<br />Ryan Howard<br />Placido Polanco<br /><br />As an example.<br /><br />Prior to this year:<br /><br />Jose Reyes<br />Curtis Granderson<br /><br />But we'll see about them.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05117565553215414852noreply@blogger.com
