at Washington doing anything in the playoffs...

So this is based on what? All the times Washington has been to the playoffs and lost recently?

 

[Osmar]

hasn't Harper played fewer games than the others?

Washington will be lucky to see what the playoffs are even all about.

stanton will have a better career

Yes he will. But don't tell these folks that... they're all caught up in the hype.

And Trout.

Miami Marlins' Giancarlo Stanton needs knee surgery; Bryce Harper in as All-Star Game replacement - ESPN

Bryce Harper .283/8/25 OPS. 831

chosen over

Allen Craig .308 13 HR and 44 RBI OPS. 985
Tyler Colvin .306 13 HR 40 RBI Rookie OPS .971
Jason Kupel .292 15 HR 60 RBI OPS .901






But its only an exhibition game, and he has hype so the average fan will want to see him more than the 3 I mentioned so I understand

 

[Professor Polo]

Is trout in it?

You wanna check out how many Cardinals are on the all star team? Cray...

Not that hard to do when your old manager is picking the reserves and snubbing more deserving players in favor of his guys.

You know the fans and players picked every single Cardinal that was selected besides Holliday (who is a replacement for Molina due to a bereavement), don't you? Furcal and Beltran are starters (fans), Lynn and Molina were selected by the players, and Freese was the last one to make it by a fan vote. You could have at least TRIED to get your facts straight.

I thought LaRussa selected the reserves and pitchers. If that's not the case why is he saying he didn't select Cueto because he pitched yesterday?

He didn't select any Cardinals over Cuerto, he selected another player. That issue was brought up because of that Cardinals-Reds brawl a few years ago when Cuerto jumped and kicked a backup Cardinal catcher in the face, gave dude a concussion, and ended his career. But, none of the Cardinals in the game were selected over Cuerto nor Brandon Phillips.

Not my point. My point is you are saying the pitchers (Lynn) were selected by the players but LaRussa explicitly says he didn't pick Cueto which indicates the pitchers were picked by LaRussa and not the players.
