He should not get to play if he's [censored]ing banned from the game. It's absurd on every level. It's indefensible. |

Take Manny off the ballot. Not hard. Bud Selig is about as worthless as the opinion that Manny should play because the fans are stupid. |

it is in the collective bargaining agreement that if the fans vote a player in, a suspension can't keep him out of it. i think that was probably written in so that if a guy got suspended for charging the mound or something couple days before the game could still play. Quote:
still sucks that fans are actually voting him in though. |

For some reason I was thinking that his suspension covered that game. Not sure why. My opinion is slightly changed now. But not my opinion of the fans voting him in, or the commissioner.

Fans voting for Man-Ram isn't any worse than fans of <insert team here> stuffing the ballot box with their players. Anybody look at the first release of All-Star voting tallies? A Milwaukee Brewer was either first or second at every single IF position in the NL, and their starting OF occupied three of the top seven vote getters.
If the Brewers were the '27 Yankees, I wouldn't have a problem with this, but the fact is their lineup has as many holes as anybody elses. [censored] the MLB All-Star game and fan voting. When the game determines home field advantage for the World Series and likely a few contract bonuses for players, managers, and coaches, not to mention the obvious residual income from endorsements, its a pretty big deal that shouldn't be left to fan voting. Just another big ball of fail spun by the Selig administration, like Interleague play, unbalanced divisions/scheduling, failure to negotiate national TV time for your small market franchises, steroids/PEDs, ownership collusion to rip franchises from "unworthy" cities, and failure to implement a salary cap and a salary floor. If Bud Selig were on fire I wouldn't cross the street to [censored] on him. If Manny playing highlights the absurdity of the All-Star Game, let him play. [censored], go ahead and write in Canseco, McGwire, Sosa, Daryl Kile, Adenhart, Caminiti, and a bunch of other dead/disgraced/suspended/retired players on your ballots and fill up both leagues' rosters with 'em. |

IIRC his suspension ends July 3. The All Star game will be played on July 14.

I'm sure Manny doesn't blame himself in todays society. Even here in ohio this November they are trying to push thru a medical marijuana bill so why not have athletes do all the doping they want.
