Soriano and Lee Named to NL All-Stars
Scott Eyre though is still waiting for his phone call.
Soriano got edged out by MLB public relations in the final vote as Bonds surpassed him. As the MLB.com article states:
Aramis Ramirez. Wait...let me check that...nope, it's the guy with an ERA over four - Carlos Zambrano. Okay.
Z's competition for the final spot are Chris Young, Tom Gorzelanny, Brandon Webb and Roy Oswalt. I guess they decided they needed an extra pitcher. If you just want to see another Cub at the All-Star Game, go vote for Z, if you want to give it the player who actually deserves it, then go vote for Chris Young and his 8-3 record and microscopic 2.14 ERA.
Congrats to Derrek and Soriano, well-deserved All-Stars.
He trailed Soriano 1,332,581 to 1,213,423. In the final vote total, Bonds had 2,325,391 to Soriano's 2,202,513.Hmm, two-plus months of voting results in a million-plus votes but in the last week they doubled their vote total? Okay, sure. Richard J. Daley approves. MLB public relations is also trying to save the managers of the respective teams some flak by telling us who are the manager's choices and who got in by player vote. One such player who got in by player vote was Derrek Lee, so congrats Derrek. The Cubs do have a shot to add one more All-Star to the team as the fans can vote for the final roster spot. Naturally, the man who is 10th in the NL in OPS (second among third basemen), leads the Cubs in RBI's and is tied for the team lead in home runs was put on the list -
