Dodgers Best Record Nets Zero All-Star Starters
Even with the best record in baseball the Dodgers don't have anyone other then Orlando Hudson in the top five voting at any position. Hudson is 2nd, Manny is 6th, and Kemp is 13th.
At least we know the B & B boys will be going unless the NL is off their rocker when they build the pitching staff. Fairly certain Hudson will get the reserve call. Kemp has a shot considering we have the best record so four players is not out of the question but Russell Martin will not be going breaking his streak of two straight all-star appearances.

Billingsley is going to start the game in St. Louis, and Broxton will end it, ensuring the Dodgers have home field advantage in the World Series.
The 12-game AL winning streak will end.
That would be nice.
Technically there was a tie in there too.

The damned tie ...
should have just stayed that way. Instead everyone had to jump all over Bud Selig and then he had to get all butt hurt and then we had to come up with this stupid “This time it counts” nonsense. Charlie Manuel is going to play all of his guys as much as they want and he’s going to make sure everyone makes an appearance. I don’t think he’s going to give much of a consideration to winning the game.
Bud Selig, yet another failure as commish.

Speaking of Billingsley & Kemp
Their agent and former Oakland A, Dave Stewart, will be a guest on Jim Rome sometime in the next half hour.
Kemp seems like a great candidate for that Final Vote thing
That is, if he doesn’t get selected the first time around.
If he stays at his current clip, he’s easily the second best CF in the NL, and on the best team.
This is why you should limit fan voting
to at most 50% of the vote. Tons of idiots just vote in on name and don’t take the time to see which players are really deserving.
AJ Ellis called-up
Don’t know what it means. Could be huge news or could be something like Schlichting getting sent down.
Now that I think about it
It’s probably DeWitt going back down. Since they don’t have any plans for the guy right now, it’s best that he plays everyday.
WHO CARES
The all star game is a joke, You can vote 1000 times and it really does not matter,Its not like it used to be, The allstar should be picked by the coaches & managers ,
It was filled with just as many mistakes
before the fans were allowed to vote. The voting may not be perfect but it gives fans plenty to debate about and as Brendan said we don’t have any body who deserves to be voted on as a starter.
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
