So the 1st report of all star balloting leaders came out today, and not surprisingly the Phillies have 3 starting players in the lead at their respective positions (Rollins, Utley, and Polanco)
If Chase holds onto his lead (which looks pretty likely), he will be the 1st Phillie to start the all star game 5 years in a row!!
Werth and Victorino have a good showing as well, they are currently 2nd and 3rd for OF. And Ryan Howard and Chooch are both in 2nd place for 1B and C respectively. However, what is probably most interesting about the all star totals so far is the fact that former Phillie Pat Burrell is in 4th place for DH in the AL race. Yes, the same Pat Burrell who was released just over a week ago from the Tampa Bay Rays and currently doesn't play for any major league team.
The guys over at the Fightins have put a call to action to get Pat Burrell elected to the 2010 all star game. It would be hilarious. What uniform would he wear? Would the MLB let him play? Can we actually get him voted in??
Also, the folks over at Zoo with Roy have a great new shirt for our favorite bearded right fielder - check it out here. Also the new MS Paint of the Emo Emu, it made me laugh lots.
Currently, the Phillies are not getting runs against the freaking mets. I couldn't take it anymore...Time to watch the Chuck season finale that we taped last night. I'm hoping that later on I find that the Phills actually do come back and beat the damn Mets. And I swear I heard a "Let's get tasered" chant during the last inning....ugh...
