    Even that doesn't always work:

    How in hell can Dontrell Willis (8-1, 2.13 ERA) NOT be on the team?

    ACK!

      They changed how All satrs get picked: team players vote for them, not newspaper people or fans: it seems the Yankee players were tardy in filling their ballots, and thus so few Yankees made it in.

      I mean, no Mariano Rivera as a closer for the AL?

        You mean pitchers?

        The fans haven't picked them for as long as I can remember....

        Rivera only has 15 saves besides.

        ACK!

          If Dusty was white, he would have already been fired. This is not a racist statement by the way.
          you are 100% wrong buddy...

          the team on the South Side is the affirmative action team... not the Cubs.

            He was injured for a while. He is still one of the AL's (if not baseball') finnest closers.

              Eh.. he's a rookie. Players want him to prove himself before he goes to the game.

              What, you expect NO snubs?

              I mean, no Mariano Rivera as a closer for the AL?


              He hasn't been that hot this year. Foulke and the MacDougal were better. And you needed some players from the **** teams.

                a flash in the pan... just like Louiza on the South Side...

                  You can't say that right now, maybe after the All-Star break if he loses a few games in a row, but now you can't.

                    I can say anything I want... the White Sox aren't going any where. Misery loves company. Once MLB figures Louiza (sp?) out, they'll put runs up on the board against him.

                      I meant Willis, Esteban is a flash in the pan.

                        Willis is a flash, too. He was in the Cubs farm system... trust me, he's not spectacular. His luck will run out.

                          Loaiza? He's been a vetern in the league, who just finally got a decent pitching coach. What are they going to 'figure out' against him. Sure this won't last, but I'd be suprised if he doesn't win 18 games with an ERA under 4.

                            yeah I can never remember how to spell his damn name

                            he just changed his pitching repetoire... he does it almost every year (hence the dropoff in win % and ERA in his career after the first two months)... this year he's been effective... but it will catch up with him and he'll level off.

                              Naw, don't think so. He's been pitching very well... striking guys out (which shows he'll keep being good this year). I think he won't keep this up forever, but he won't fall apart THIS year.

                              He'll be this year's Derek Lowe... then go back to .500 next year.

                                oh I agree... I think he'll keep it up... but eventually (and I won't speculate on when) he will even out.
