A bit more on "Vote For Manny"

If you think my "Vote For Manny" is actually about wanting Manny to be selected as a starter in the All Star Game, please read on.

If you think my "Vote For Manny" is actually about wanting to embrace the pro-steroids stance, please read on.

If you think my "Vote For Manny" is actually about preventing the most worthy of players, like Raul Ibanez, from getting selected to the All Star Game, please read on.

If you understood that the "Vote For Manny" is one part satire, one part sarcasm, one part fun, one part grandiose hopes the the rules of the game will somehow change to make sense.... feel free to read on even though you already get it.

Welcome to VOTE FOR MANNY

The purpose of this blog is to get Manny Ramirez elected as a STARTER to the 2009 All Star Game in St. Louis?
WHY?

To highlight the silliness that are the MLB rules towards PED users as well as their "head in the sand" approach to this situation. Rather than confront it head-on, MLB is choosing to do nothing and simply hope there are three higher vote getters in the NL OF.

Click here to VOTE FOR MANNY!

As of 5/26/09, Manny's totals:

• #4; 1,213,423 votes

Remember, vote early and often!

That's a trip. I'm all for it. Anytime you get a chance to expose AS game silliness in voting I say go for it.

No sir. I believe voting for manny in 2009 had no bearing on the BoSox 2 titles.

Think he was doing roids during the WS years?

Oh I don't know. It was really the pitching that did it I think. And some good clutch base running & hits in close games.

He could have started using during his dodger tenure because he felt the pinch of getting older.

Since I'm a Cub fan, of course he was juicing last year. It's our nature.

I actually went there and voted, and I almost forgot to vote for Manny. One click away from fucking up

hno:

 

[barman]

I'm totally down

The moment they took the AS voting online, thus assuring that Ichiro Suzuki (a great player admittedly) would be voted in every year by the ten million Japanese internet users, I wrote the AS voting off as an annual farce.
