Because Cristian Guzman is on the ballot despite not being very good, I wondered if even the Nationals SBN site could justify voting for him. It currently gets a small mention in the midst of an insanely long post. When it lists Sandoval, it does so as:
Pablo “Falls Alot” Sandoval (3B SF)

I would say no because the Diamondback should not have 3 All Stars for such an awful team. They would have the same amount of All Stars as the Dodgers.
or the Giants… it’s just lame that of all the Final Vote coverage on mlb.com, nowhere does it mention that he strikes out more than anyone in the history of the game. Does the average voter know this?
I used LA because they have the best record in baseball. But the Yankees also have 3. Why should Arizona have as many All Stars as the elite of baseball?

Jesus people, I love Tim and the Giants

Timmy: 121 IP 2.23 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 141 K, 193 ERA+, 4.7 K/BB
Tim cleans his clock in Ks, but it’s not insane to think that Haren’s been better. Tim does have one more win, but everyone knows wins are stupid. I guess my statement made it seem like I thought Haren was head and shoulders above everyone else, which I don’t. HOWEVUH, if the season ended today he’d get my Cy vote.
Haren has been bad in the second half for like 3 straight years, so I don’t expect it to continue, but the guy’s been fucking incredible this year.

Doesn't really matter
His peripherals are still clearly better. He’s also gotten better results at a tougher park. Siriously, it’s OK. Just because Lincecum is awesome and he pitches for us doesn’t mean that we can’t try and look at things objectively.

Also, if now we’re using peripherals and not just results to pick AS/CY, then Cain absolutely shouldn’t be in the ASG. There are about 15 pitchers out there with better peripherals.

You and your rational thinking have no place in this discussion.
Judgment Day is coming
comics | art | Nattowear
I've always wondered this...
Doesn’t a low BABIP just indicate that batters aren’t hitting the ball well because the hitter’s pitching well? Rather than just getting unlucky? Same for hitters. Some hitters just suck and have low BABIPs which you can’t expect to even out. A higher BABIP is more likely to come down than a low BABIP go up.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
by KTJ on Jul 9, 2009 1:47 PM PDT up reply actions
I think research has shown that while it can be highly variable for hitters, most pitcher BABIP is normally somewhere in the .270-.300 range. Haren’s got similar numbers to his previous years in terms of line drives, ground balls, fly balls, etc but while his career BABIP is .290, this year it’s only ~.230. Not that he’s not having a great year, but dude has been somewhat lucky so far.
Matt Cain: He'll save children, but not the Dodger children.

If that were true, then good pitchers would consistently have low BABIPs, and bad ones would consistently have high ones. That is nowhere close to being the case. In general, unhittable pitchers are unhittable because the make sure batters don’t put many balls in play, not because they control the balls that were put in play.

The article is about Greinke but they’re basically having the same type of season(as the article mentions). The difference between Greinke/Lincecum and the rest of the league is pretty damn huge right now.
I do have to admit
my fantasy baseball player side was speaking there. Yeah yeah “POKEMONZ” and all that. But Haren has been pretty awesome. I suppose I should say I would vote for him over everyone not named Tim LIncecum.

Hold On!
Unfortunately, CafePress.com has pulled the design.
I’m not sure why, but it probably has to do with the small SF logo on the Pablo’s sleeve. Or just the image of Pablo entirely, I’m not sure. Probably not the “Vote for Pablo” text. There are a hundred different “Vote for Pedro” spoofs up on CafePress.com, so that’s not it. I really like this one a lot, but I have a hopefully less “infringing” version in the works that will go up when I know the exact problem, which should be sometime tomorrow morning. Yes, despite doing a couple hours of work on the image – working in my own color and composition into the work – I modeled the image of Pablo after a couple different images I found online, and that’s legal gray area to say the least. I understand that CafePress.com is covering its a$$ and I get that, so we’ll see.
Thanks!
It’s probably because of Pablo’s image. I’ve had similar experiences with Cafepress, even if I don’t use any photos.

The team is mining Venezuela for votes on behalf of Pablo Sandoval, who again led the balloting Tuesday with two days to go. The Giants taped a video of Sandoval explaining what it would mean to represent his town and country at the All-Star Game and made it available to media sites throughout Venezuela.

Now look at me. I'm wet nurse to a last-place, dead-to-the-neck-up ball club, and I'm choking to death!

Unemployed and voted for Pablo 10 times yesterday.
Was not aware of the Giants home grown all star drought. Must kick it up a few notches today.
They make it so easy

Validation Key?
For some reason, it is still giving successful votes even with incorrect validation keys…. it better be counting my votes!
I just got a call from Tim Lincecum...
asking me to vote for Pablo:
“We need a Panda in the All Star game!”
Will do Tim, but I’m out to watch the game…someone take up my voting slack, will ya?
"The dreams ain't broken down here now, they're walking with a limp" --TW
Just voted about 100 times. Need a break for my poor fingers. Will be voting more throughout the game!
I think I crossed over into triple digits recently
Although I lost count. Will keep voting throughout every waking hour between now and tomorrow. I hope Grant is lying about Pablo being behind, and is just trying to motivate us.
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
I think he could be….but apparently yesterday the voting was pretty close between Victorino and Pablo…so I don’t want to take any chances. Maybe then we can stop hearing the lack of homegrown positional All-Star for the Giants.
I'm voting all over the place
If the rest of you are too, and lots more, well, it may be enough.

But , of all bay area media personalities, should appreciate the level of "buzz" this little voting scheme has drummed up for an exhibition game. Granted it is a long stories exhibition game but it is still just an exhibition and now it is getting very cheap publicity. Heck! P.T. Baranum is smiling somewhere over this.

It’s all stream-of-consciousness bullshit.
"The BB's are out. The BB's are being arseholes to me." - Brian Wilson.
Well I can’t argue with Gary that the final vote and online voting in general is kind of an imperfect system. It allows people such as ourselves to stuff the ballot box. And often it lets the team hosting the AS game to get way too many of their players into the game.
Although this year I’m actually partaking because of Charlie Manuel’s idiotic voting methods. The stupid thing is that either Kemp or Victorino or both are going to make the team anyway because of injuries to Ibanez and Beltran. So just let Pablo have a spot you fuckers!
Where would KNBR be without the Giants?
Bite the hand that feeds you much, Gary?
"He is Tim Lincecum...the Most Interesting Pitcher in the World."
I just got back from Europe, where the only Giants news I got were occasional scores (no box score, not even line scores) and some league leader stuff. Pablo must have been ON FIRE the last few weeks. Since getting back last night I’ve put in about a dozen votes for pablo, I really hope he makes it. And congrats to cain on his first all star appearance.

Time to rant
What sort of douchebag campaigns for himself to get into the all-star game? Victorino’s out filming commercials and going door to door, while our humble panda says that even if he doesn’t get in, he’s just glad to get so much support from the fans. Seriously, it’s no secret that Victorino is a dirty player (anyone else see him grab Alex Cora’s ankle while sliding into second base), and Philly fans are a joke, but this is just stupid. He doesn’t deserve to be in the conversation, to be honest. Reynolds, Pablo and Kemp (yes, a Dodger) are the only three who deserve to be in the conversation.
I’m going to vote nonstop from now until 1 o’clock today. If Pablo loses to the Cryin’ Hawaiian, I’m seriously going to flip out. In the mean time, I’m a Mets fan for the rest of the year.
Now, I’m going to take some cheap shots at the city of Philadelphia. In all honesty, it’s a disgusting place. I was there two years ago for the Army-Navy game, and let me tell you, there isn’t an ounce of charm to the place. It’s dark, dank, grimy and just plain disgusting. No wonder Philly fans are so miserable all the time.

I’ve also noticed that the boxes for the validation code and vote again are in the same location on the page.
so after I click “vote now” I get the mouse back up to the code box, and I’m ready to “vote again”
double click on the validation key box
enter the new validation number
keep the mouse on the vote now box
click the button
on the confirmation screen hit ‘backspace’ button on your keyboard
then hit crtl-a which will high light the validation number
enter the new validation number
click the mouse button (which hasn’t moved)
repeat until allstar
this method makes it so i have to do 4 movements for a vote

Ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be brief.
The issue here is not whether Shane Victorino has a rectum face, or likes to strangle puppies—he does.
But you can’t hold an online All-Star vote that potentially rewards the behavior a sick twisted individual. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the entire All-Star voting system? And if the whole All-Star voting system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of Shane Victorino in general? I put it to you, MLB: isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. McCoven!

I’m just amazed that douchenozzle’s taken the lead. I mean, we’re voting fervently because Pablo Sandoval is a great guy and the superior player. But the Phillies fans are voting with even more intensity apparently – and why? What is their driving motivation?
Watch out San... oh, wait, Sadowski... uncle Pucetas is comin' for you.

Apparently Carlos Gonzalez’s name has been mentioned in talks as well. The Twins and Giants still have interest in Sanchez.
Perrotto hears that the Pirates would not have a player replace Sanchez at the All-Star Game if they deal him before Tuesday.

I’m supposed to avoid soy…so no mayo for me.
The only thing I used to put soy in was tuna sandwiches, and as I’ve mentioned before I’ve started making my tuna with guac instead of mayo anywho.
me too!
I do a mean tuna salad where I’ll put the leaf lettuce on the plate and add the tuna, the guac, and some carrot chips arranged nicely on the leaf. It looks tasty and works together really well.

I have nothing against the Phillies, aside from Victorino of course. Although there’s this annoying bitch I know, who claims to be a Red Sox/Phillies fan. Y’know, despite never mentioning a thing about the Phillies or her interest in the team before the 2007 season. So I had to deal with her overblown crowing in 2004, 2007, and last season. Christ. So I can just hear her in my head now bleating about how Victorino is the greatest thing since sliced bread.
I know you’ll all hate her too: she hates Jon Miller and claims he’s a talentless hack.

Sounds like a lot of people who get on the winning bandwagon. Look what would happen if the Giants won the World Series, everyone in the Bay Area would say “I’ve always been a Giants fan”.
She even bandwagoned Catholicism. I used to email with her and some other friends during the days at work. My BFF made a joke about Ash Wednesday, because she ended up with a black smudge of toner on her forehead while trying to fix a copier at her work. The bitch was all OMG HOW DARE YOU CHEAPEN MY RELIGION ASH WEDNESDAY IS A SACRED SOMBER EVENT, again, when she never said a goddamn thing about being Catholic ever. Her response when I called her on it was “well I’m from Boston, do the math.”

And it felt alright to me
Dying on the banks of Embarcadero skies

Buried you alive in a fireworks display
Raining down on me
Your cold, hot blood ran away from me
To the sea
