All Star Game rosters in full

[missionhockey21]

I think Nomar has a big chance to swipe it from Wagner. Not only will he have most of the LA fanbase behind him, there probably isn't a Boston fan in the world who stopped loving him, and he'll get a lot of the casual fan voting just because he's one of the most notable names in baseball.

Yeah, you do make a good point there about him having a lot of Red Sox nation still behind him. I didn't even think about that one.

Whoo, Edgar, Andruw and McCann made it..as reserves!

how could forget about Red Sox Nation? They're everywhere!!!!

Yep, they're even in Hawaii, lol (I used to live there).

I can't believe Edgar and Andruw are only reserves.

I honestly could not be happier to see Gary Matthews Jr. named as a reserve, even if it was as a replacement. He more than deserved to go to the all-star with the kind of year he was having. Nice to see Mike Young making his 3rd all-star appearance as well. Although I am disappointed Teixeira and Blalock didn't make it.

Here is something wierd though. Apparently Ivan Rodriguez is only 23 years old and is making his first all-star appearance.

We got a lot of first timers this year too.

nice to see sarge junior getting some love.

Honestly, I will ***** about Ozzie's pitching selections. But by far the biggest omission in the AL if Hafner. A joke.

Yes, Hafner is the most underrated player in the whole wide world evarsss!!!

[CrimsonNW]

I want to throw up. Hafner better make it in. Also, Ibanez>>>>Matthews. I'm gonna spew.

[Lennon_Marx]

It doesn't make it funny...it just shows you how Homeriffic the average Red Sox fan is (not Fisher)...they don't care...they just assume that because player X is on the Red Sox that he is the greatest player EVARSSSS!@!!!!

In fairness though, when you look at the voting, that's the same way with Yankee fans, and arguably ets fans too (yes they're having a great season but 4 starters???)

Whilst my vote would be going to Liriano, I think Hafner or Pierzynski will win the final man ballot, and hopefully Capuano on the other side, but probably Nomar (actually make that Abreu- they listed him as a pitcher though).

Little peeved about Redman making it to the show (I'm actually a Sawx fan- the Kansas logo's for one of the fantasy leagues) and Cano too, I wouldve liked to see them pick DeJesus if thwey had to pick a Royal, and Verlander for Redman. As you say though Buerhle doesnt deserve being picked either (though Contreras does).

Freddy Sanchez from the pirates? What about Jose Castillo???

Yes, Yankees fans, too because it's like that every year. The Mets don't usually get this many...I chalk it up to them having a great season not to homerism.

the great season is all they need, though...

there's no way LoDuca should be voted in over McCann, Estrada, or Piazza even.

my point is that this is a pattern of behavior among Yankees and Red Sox fans.

[Dam8610]

I love having the manager of the all star team. It's nice not having 3 snubs for once.

[Nolan_Ryan]

I'm not that bad... The guys that I remember voting for are David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Jason Varitek, A-Rod, and J-howeveryouspellhisname Cantu. I didn't vote for Ortiz and Ramirez just because they're Red Sox Players, if they were with any other team I still would have voted for them. Same thing with A-Rod being with the Yankees. Then I voted for Cantu from the D-Rays over Mark Loretta. I can't remember who else I voted for. I think I may have voted for Johnny Demon, Ichiro, or Vladimir G-howeveryouspellhisname.

I can't help it if big teams have big players.

Oh by the way dumb questions... When in the all-star game going to happen? And what about the home run derby too? I'm leaving for camp this saturday, and I think they are going to happen while I'm at camp for 2 weeks

Why Dunn or Griffey isn't in the ASG is shocking enough

[HollywoodLeo]

Beltran, Soriano, Ryan Howard, Carlos Lee, and even Adam Dunn deserve an ASG nod before Griffey....not that Griffey isn't having an All Star calliber year, but they're doing better than he is.
