Dodgers' Kemp, Angels' Figgins come up short in All-Star voting

Philadelphia Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino and Detroit Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge have been elected by fans to Tuesday's All-Star game in record-shattering voting exclusively on MLB.com , the official Web site of Major League Baseball, and the individual club sites.

Bummer. Kemp deserves it. Figgins too, for that matter. I did all I could guys

It's unbelievable that the Dodgers Matt Kemp was left off the National All Star team. The Dodgers have the best winning record in the Major League and it isn't due to their pitching. It's because of their four hitting outfielders. And Kemp is the lightening bolt. Today, He hit a grand slam, made an all time catch over the shoulder and runs like a deer on the base path. But, he'll sit at home this year. It's a stinking shame.

If any of the TV media has the guts, they can do a story about Kemp and show how the fans can't pick the playes very well. Kemp showed them all yesterday why he should be an all-star. The good news is that he gets a couple days off during the break and is going to cime back even harder.

What do you think he was saying to himself in the tenth inning after the grand slam and the great catch. I think it was something like "Shane-who ?"

If Vistorino had any guts he would say give it to Kemp, he is the one who deserves it.

One person...one vote. Results would have been alot different. ESPN publically pulling for certain players? Not cool.

ESPN/ABC sucks and this shouldn't be news to anyone. They thought they'd take advantage of the West Coast by jumping on the Laker bandwagon (after trashing them all season long) by starting "LA Sportscenter". ESPN/ABC is all about the East, specifically: New York and to a lesser degree: Boston and Philly. I don't watch ESPN, I don't like Sutcliffe or Van Gundy, I hate the clowns on Sportscenter and I abhor with a flaming passion anything that Chris Berman does. I hope I haven't misled anyone with my comments.
