    Humor 2008 ASG Rosters

    2008 All-Star Game: Rosters by League | MLB.com: Events

    How is Varitek an All-Star?!?! .219 average and barely over .300 OBP...terrible. They really need to change this WS manager choosing the the reserves and pitchers BS.

    At least Tek isn't starting over Mauer, I absolutely have no tolerance about that. Still, the votes are pretty overrated in several positions.

    Ludwick got in. Jermaine Dye did not. Varitek over Pierzynski is just horrendous.

    I agree about AJ. He is more deserving to go over Tek. What's wrong with people anyway?

    It could be worse.

    The fans could vote for the reserves and pitchers...

    the fan vote is just as biased most of the time. Just let the managers and players decide it.

    the PLAYERS were the ones who picked Tek to get into the allstar game. so take your complaints to them, not the managers (who only get to pick 4 or 5 players nowadays)

    I didn't know they changed that...then they should just get rid of the ASG. It seriously has become such a joke.

    They don't need to get rid of it.

    It's the only all star game in the 4 major sports that's somewhat entertaining.

    They just need to alter how the rosters are selected.

    no, they need to get rid of it. it's an embarrassment how it turns out every year. too many undeserving players make it.

    Can't get rid of the All Star game. And I seriously doubt the players were dumb enough to select Varitek even though most players do hate Pierzynski. I am sure Francona picked his own guy to go.
