    Re: If Francisco Liriano isn't an All Star, then neither is anyone else in the AL.

    We should be blaming Major League Baseball for that ridiculous "every team represented" rule, and Ozzie Guillen for taking his boy Buerhle over Liriano. Although, if he hadn't taken Redman, he probably would have picked another White Sox pitcher anyway.

    Doesn't matter in the long run. 10 years from now, people won't remember Liriano getting snubbed, they will, however, remember watching a Rookie win the Cy Young award.

      Yes, I think in most cases the player from the largest market will win that vote, but you do have to figure that the Chicago market was split for AJ since Cubs fans certainly weren't voting for him. Frankly, I'm actually a little impressed with White Sox fans (something I've never said before and probably will never say again) that they got AJ in since anyone who isn't a White Sox fan hates that man's guts.

        Everyone can rest now. Liriano is replacing Jose Contreras who has an injury. It is being reported on www.minnesotatwins.com

          That still doesn't address the fact that the system is at fault. The only thing that does is lessen the backlash Guillen is receiving.

            Thank godness! Now we don't have to hear Twins fans complaining. Now all we got to hear is Cleveland fans talk about how "Donk"?..."Sonk"?...whatever...Travis Hafner didn't make the team. Boo Hoo.

              oh is someone upset that a player that was more deserving than the Whitesox player that made it over him is getting fans attention instead of Konerko... WAAAAAAAHHH. All Whitesox fans do is piss and moan about respect, and the only way the team gets it is by having a manager basically steal spots from more deserving players by sticking his own guys over the rest of the league... Way to go guys, you really showed the rest of the fans why you deserve respect.

                As Justin Timberlake sang, "Cry me a River." Bottom line is "Donk", or whatever the hell his nickname is, is not going. Period.

                          NEVER!

                          Maybe if your sense of humor was a bit funnier I would be amused. I have no problem with people making jokes about me or my team. JUST BE FUNNY. There is an old saying, "If you can't laugh at yourself then you can't laugh at no one else." BUT at the same time, BE FUNNY.

                            I got a chuckle out of it.

                            So far you are the only one who didn't think it was at least a little humorous.

                                I agree. When you got 2 people laughing at a stale joke then it's time to give it up.
