Everybody in the world wants to see him traded to the Braves for Jurrjens for some reason so it's almost like voting for a Brave.<br /><br />You'll be happy to know that I purposely did not vote for a single Yankee, Red Sox, Phillie or Cardinal this year. I will admit I thought about a couple of them though. And since the Giants were allied with the Red Sox, they got left out too.dayfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343838411856677615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-30683483975618583082011-07-01T16:16:10.734-04:002011-07-01T16:16:10.734-04:00To comment even further, that even in LA, more cov...To comment even further, that even in LA, more coverage has been given to the McCourt mess than the masterful seasons that Kemp and Kershaw are having. Its tough for them to get coverage when most Dodger fans are so concerned about the future of the team than anything that is happening on the field. I have read and discussed more about Frank McCourt than I have about Matt Kemp. This comes from a guy that watches or attends almost every game. Sadly Frank McCourt is the hot button issue not the team's performence.Spiegel83https://www.blogger.com/profile/04965039640352189372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-45309081255620963122011-07-01T14:57:33.538-04:002011-07-01T14:57:33.538-04:00Let's just say I agree haha....

The All Star game concept is dead though. It's the same thing every year - undeserving players in, deserving players out, it's hard to care. Though I do have to laugh when someone says that Molina should have to buy a ticket to the game. McCann should be the starter but Molina should be there.

Since the National League has no DH spot on the ballot the DH will be selected by the manager. My guess is that Kemp starts in CF and Berkman gets moved to DH. Reyes also deserves to start, but in this scenario Braun or Holliday don't have to play CF.Justin Drummondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15833881222425057686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-48114921000847729682011-07-01T03:26:25.269-04:002011-07-01T03:26:25.269-04:00If Reyes and Kemp don't start, I quit.

(Okay, 40 home runs would turn some heads.) Dodger fans don't care partly thanks to McCourt, and other fans don't notice him because the Dodgers are doing so poorly on the field. The All-Star game is about who the fans notice, regardless of numbers on the field. If Kemp isn't getting time on Baseball Tonight and Sportscenter because the Dodgers aren't doing so well, he's going to miss out on votes. The masses aren't necessarily asses, they're just ignorant. I guess that could make them asses...Ryan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670458381967699663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-53019233575747475592011-07-01T01:46:53.012-04:002011-07-01T01:46:53.012-04:00preaching to the choir my friend...

I even brought some ballots home with me so my mom could vote for Kemp, Ethier, and Gwynn Jr. For real, Gwynn Jr. No one goes to Dodger Stadium much this year so that hurt his chances and people in LA are turned off by this team on and off the field. It is just a bad time for Kemp to be having a MVP caliber year when not as many fans will notice.

I always did most of my voting at the K and I haven't even been to a game since the voting began.<br /><br />But, if I would have voted, I wouldn't have voted for Kemp, simply for the fact that I had no idea what kind of season he was having. So, everyone is probably better off since I did not place a vote.<br /><br />Maybe I can snag a cheap auto of Kemp off of comc.com before he "gets big".zman40https://www.blogger.com/profile/07221290018484413350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-56649045720125462562011-07-01T00:27:51.083-04:002011-07-01T00:27:51.083-04:00I have always thought that the All Star voting sho...I have always thought that the All Star voting should take into account (at least in some part) the 2nd half of last season. Which is why I voted for Tulo (well that and IT"S TULO) at SS. <br /><br />As far as Matt Kemp goes, as much as I hate to say it, he deserves an All Star start this year ahead of Holliday. And I did vote for him. (Wow did you ever think you'd hear that out of a Rockies' fan)<br /><br />But my homerism showed in that voted for Todd Helton and Seth Smith (both having great years) also.hiflewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07128126188366882765noreply@blogger.com
