I'm taking nothing personally. This thread is about All-star votes. You voting 35 times for Omar Infante is All Star votes. You alluded to people being upset with all the Royals all star votes, but that Jason Varitek being an all star was just as bad. So, actually, it sure did look like you were talking about voted in. I felt like pointing it out. Deal with it.

Look, I get it. The All Star game selection process is silly. The game itself is meaningless to me. I haven't even watched a second of it since maybe 1986. Sometimes fans make stupid selections because they're stuffing the ballot box. Sometimes managers pick their own guys over guys from other teams with better numbers. Sometimes a guy gets voted/picked even though he's washed up instead of the younger, better player. Sometimes managers pick an inferior player from a Team A because he needed another pitcher even though the best player from Team A is the shortstop. You want to go through the effort to vote 35 times for Omar Infante? Have at it. I live on the East Coast and I could care less.

Oh, and relax.
