Comments on: The problem with starting All-Star balloting early http://riveraveblues.com/2009/05/the-problem-with-starting-all-star-balloting-early-11350/ A New York Yankees Blog Wed, 15 Feb 2012 07:19:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ian http://riveraveblues.com/2009/05/the-problem-with-starting-all-star-balloting-early-11350/#comment-371513 Ian Thu, 07 May 2009 20:13:56 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=11350#comment-371513 I think its smart to start balloting 2 months before the game, because it promotes the game and telecasts to fans. When they actively are filling out ballots and writing in Swisher and such, it increases their likelyhood that they will watch the game.

It is a popularity contest not who is actually the best. Can we please all vote for Manny to be on the All-Star Team to show what a sham it actually is for fan’s to vote for the All-Stars?

I'll be sure to do it 20 more times. Then make up a fake e-mail address and do it from there as well. Go Swisher. I’ve already voted for him once. I’ll be sure to do it 20 more times.
