No Joey Votto in the All Star Game

Honest to God, that might be the biggest snub ever. Just shows you how much of a joke this is. If they voted for MVP today, I have no doubt he would be in the top 5. I'm just at a loss for words how somebody like Omar Infante, a utility guy can make the all star team with an ops in the 700's yet Joey Votto can be near 1.000 and not make the team.

Bud, if you are going to continue to make this game mean something, let the best players play. Not guys that don't even belong on a starting lineup.

I hope Charlie Manuel has a heart attack! He took Ryan Howard over Joey Votto!

He's on the final vote. Maybe the fans will vote him in, I wonder if the guy leading the league in ops has ever missed the all star game?

I've already voted about 50 times. Will vote plenty more times between now and Thursday.

Reds play the Phillies later this week. I'd love to see Votto go off (maybe a walk off homer) and send some sort of gesture Charlie Manuel's way!

I wonder how much the homosexual talk played into this? It would really be a shame if the players didn't vote for him because he MAY be gay.

WHAT!? I hadn't heard that before. I guess I'll have to be careful confessing my "man-crush" for Votto!

The Fans right the wrong. They vote Votto in on the Final Vote. I'd say my house voted 500 times between my wife and myself.

Im good with that. I am hoping someone thats in there now pitches this weekend and cannot participate on the NL side and Wagner gets selected by Manual then.

Votto got 13.7 million votes I think. Swisher got 9.8!
