Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soraino will not play in the All Star game due to a broken left hand.
Corey Hart, an outfielder for the Brewers, is currently leading David Wright for the final spot on the All Star roster. With the NL needing another OF, Hart could get the call since he is leading the final vote.
That would leave one more spot open, most likely for the runner up of the final ballot, Mr. David Wright. I do urge you to look at what Wright has done since getting one day off back in June, and think about what he could do with three days off.
The NL needs an outfielder, it only makes sense for Hart to get the call, and the second place vote getter would earn the final spot. At least that makes sense to me. This all lies in the hands of Clint Hurdle, whos jawline bares a striking resemblance to Quagmire from Family Guy.
So as long as Wright stays in second place by 5 p.m. today, I think he'll be the second player to represent the Mets in the 2008 All Star Game.
Je suis d'accord, Andrew. I've been voting for Wright like crazy since yesterday morning, and will continue to do so up until the deadline of 5 pm today, just to be sure he makes it!
ReplyDeleteCarpe diem, Deb!
ReplyDeleteGodspeed.
You know, in reality he'd still get a bunch of time off over the All-Star break since the game is in NY and even if he does play, what will it be, for 2 or 3 innings? He'll still have a day off Monday and a day off Wednesday, so why not??
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for him to make it.
Yes, yes, I know.
ReplyDeleteAlas, it was all for moot: Wright did not win. Hurdle still might select him though.
Wright was named to the All-Star team today replacing Soriano.
ReplyDeleteBecause he's so good.
