Astros Spamming Facebook for All Star Votes
« on: June 02, 2011, 03:44:25 pm »
Quote from: Houston Astros
Yes, Hunter Pence deserves to be an All-Star and yes, you should vote for him right now on astros.com. Hunter is 8th in the NL with a .317 average and T-4th in all MLB with 43 RBIs. Come on fans, lets at least get him in the top 15 vote getters among NL outfielders!

Anyone here voting for the Astros en block, or (like me) selectively?  Basically, Michael Bourn.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

Selectively, with a caveat and a half... 

Pence: numbers are there, legitimate vote;
Bourn: better numbers out there, but worthy of an all star vote (that was my 'and a half');
Wallace: Votto is clearly the choice here, but I went 100% homer and voted for Wallace because I could...
In the end, my dissolution with the game of baseball will not be a result of any loss of love for the game, rather from the realization that I can no longer bear the anger its supposed stewards cause to be built up in my soul. -Lee (01/08/2013)
