I don't vote. It's stupid. But I'm not constantly bitching about the system. If it were 7 Yankees or 7 Red Sox or 7 Cardinals, nobody would care. However, it's a small market team whose fans have come out and made an effort. Put the voting back in the hands of managers and players. Or weight the fan voting differently.
It's a broken system, made all the worse by the All-Star Game 'mattering' for home field advantage in the WS. That's also assinine.

I think there would be even more venom if it was 7 Cards, Yankees, or Red Sox. It has nothing to do with KC whatsoever. Maybe on FOFC but not anywhere else in the country where people are bitching about it. If Jason Heyward and Mark Reynolds were starting for the NL I would think it was a fucking joke.
