Donaldson>Moustakas

[bricks]

And it's not even close.

Last night I was watching Hockey Night In Canada with Don Cherry and Ron Maclean; Don Cherry expressed a valid point in that there is an injustice going on with respect to selecting all-stars.

He pointed out that Moustakas is in the lead because it's the people in Kansas City that are giving him a gazillion votes, meanwhile, Donaldson is top 10 in the majors in RBIs, HRs, doubles, runs scored and in slugging percentage.

Fielding wise, Moustakas couldn't hold Donaldsons jock. Now is this deserving that Moustakas deserves to be ahead of Donaldson in voting when Donaldson outclasses him defensively and in a helluva lot of statistical categories.

Guys, you know this system is ****ing bullsh*t okay? Donaldson is the better player and deserves to be in there over Moustakas. You guys are voting him in there because he is your boy. This voting system on choosing all-stars is a reflection of extreme biases and favoritism. The people of Kansas City blew that out of proportion. It's just so unfair.

*Go ahead and flame away. I'm confident my point stands strong

Go figure that out yourself.

I have no doubt. It really doesn't answer why you are here crying about how the MLB selects it's All-Star starters.

If it makes you feel any better, I remember as a kid them passing out the paper ballots at the game. Looking around at the other 5000 people in the stands and wondering how in the hell could my vote count. The whole system is stupid.

However, if you come here to complain about it, you should expect to be trolled.

I have no expectations.

I'm not afraid to state what I want to say despite the fact that the majority disagrees that's fine.

Lastly, you don't know whether or not I'm crying. You have no evidence because you can't see me.

And by the way, what in the hell did MLB expect to happen when you let the public decide the rosters, anyway?

Given that this is never happened before, and some of the guys getting voted in are below replacement level (and not legends in their final season), it would appear to be a Royals fan problem more than a voting problem.

I'll gladly take a much higher chance for an NL team to host the WS, though, so have at it.

I don't hate it; I'm enjoying the self-sabotaging stupidity of it, though.

Turn on a TV, the majority AGREE'S with you.

Thats all that will happen. But it will still be fun to see a bunch of Royals in the all star game.

It will be even funnier if the AL would happen to win. I'd laugh hard. Very very hard.

Would you like some American cheese to go with your Ginger Ale (Canadian wine)?

The system is what it is. You don't like it? Get out and vote. Perhaps you wish your fan base was as passionate as the Royals? I'm sorry that they aren't. Besides, Donaldson will be playing in the All-Star game. He'll just be coming out in the 3rd inning instead of the first. So who cares??

Oh, and one more thing . . . . . . . . .


**** off.

Big markets have be putting players into the All-Star game for years because they simply have more people to vote.

Don't give a single shit if Moose doesn't have the best numbers.

National sport media is all based in California or the North East and always bias toward those areas.

So ****'em all, i hope they literally drowned in their own tears.

Your fan base is passionate because of the seasons you've had in the past what 2,3 years?

We're you guys there when you were at the basement of the league for like 10 years?

Would you guys have voted for your shitty players back then over the rest of the good all stars? Probably not.

But because now you are a winning team all the KC Royals players are better than the rest of the all stars around the league. Meanwhile, KC fans don't know jack sh*t about the rest of the league or the players. It's the same thing here with the Chiefs. Many of you put your attention on Chiefs players and lose out on focusing on the rest of the league and the other players around the league and as a result overrate Chiefs players tremendously. Your love and passion for your teams are very passionate which I give you credit for but they result in your judgements being biased, and severely clouded that they neglect love for the rest of the players around the league.


*Why not have the KC Royals against the rest of the all stars? Id enjoy it to see you guys get smashed.

It won't be me, I don't care nearly enough. Enjoyed the Cherry rant yesterday, though. I don't think it's going to stop Moustakas from getting voted in.
