OT: Vote Inge and Victorino for the All Star game!
Idon't think this should be considered a repost...
As I'm sure most of you know, the Brandon Inge, 3B of the Detroit Tigers, is up for the final vote for the All Star Game. I just heard on 97.1 that we are doing reciprocity with Shane Victorino of the Phillies. Phillies fans will vote for Inge, and Tigers fans will vote for Victorino. It doesn't take any extra time to vote for Victorino. I checked the Inge thread and did not see anything about Victorino, so I don't think this is a repost.

than Victorino. The Flyin' Hawaiian is only the 3rd best outfielder on the Phillies.
given the Stanley Cup and all...
or does is that old news?
Hextall is still off balance from that McCarty goal.
Philly does not equal Pittsburgh, and that was over 10 years ago.
but for some reason I thought there was some bad blood still. I just remember one of my roomates hating the Flyers. I don't know, I'm from Chicago, so my exposure to Detroit sports culture consists of the last 3 years while at school. Still trying to pick it up.
Flyers fans seem to have let it go in order to root against the Penguins the last two years.
Anyway, I'm voting for Reynolds. UVA grad, see. And the 24 home runs have got me convinced anyway even without that.
5 times today. I work at Mott's, and I get to see 1st hand what a good and generous guy he is. He does a lot of charity work for the kids and he's great with everyone.
Sorry, but if you're not voting for Kung Fu Panda in the NL, you are a communist.
Preach on, brother.
Victorino's stats do not match up to Sandoval's in any marginal way. Sandoval bests Victorino in literally every statistical category except stolen bases.
Also, Sandoval is 1000x more fun to watch. Also, also: he cures cancer with his MIND.
If you vote for Victorino, you're voting for (at best) the fourth best player on that list.
Reynolds has a lot of homers and RBIs (24 and 62, respectively), but holy mother of God, 114 whiffs in only 309 ABs is just pathetic.
I split my votes between Sandoval and Kemp.
And obviously I voted for Inge.
even thou i dont think inge is that deserving, he has had an out of his mind first half but i bet he ends the yr batiing below .250 and at best just barely gets to 30 HR (which is good but not all star and i think cabrera is about 100x more deserving) ... but congrats to the tigers for trying to get him there any way possible
with what you said is that it's a hypothetical situation that you can't prove. While Inge may very well end the year at .250, you don't know that for sure. The all-star game is based on stats as of RIGHT NOW, not what they MIGHT be later on. Not saying he is or isn't deserving, just that your argument for why is pretty invalid.
And it sounds like a movie.
Bran Torino!
sounds like a Mexican cereal
Vote Often, Vote Inge
Inge leads by 9% as of this morning.
You really have to give MLB credit with this Final Vote idea. It's really one of the best things they've come up with in a long time.
ago ain't going to hurt his cause any, either.
And yeah, I've been a Phillies fan all of my life.
