I don’t know about you, but I personally think Manny Ramirez should not be allowed to attend the All-Star game this year unless he buys a ticket. The guy slapped baseball across the face by taking PEDs (and no he’s not the only guy to do this) and now the fans are voting him into the All-Star game. This in my opinion is ridiculous. I understand that the fans get to vote in who they want to see but c’mon.

It’s sad when a player who has missed 50 games before the All-Star break, for whatever reason, gets to start the All-Star game. What about Torri Hunter? He deserves to start the game over Manny and now he probably won’t. This is even worse than when Shaquille O’Neal was voted the starting Center and he had been injured the entire first half of the season.

Some things shouldn’t be left in the hands of the people. Or at least the voting system should be built to prevent something like this. The players and managers should have a vote that could help even it out a bit. All I’m saying is that Manny shouldn’t be allowed to play at all and I hope Charlie Manuel has the guts to bench Manny before he even has a chance to take the field. That would absolutely make my day.
