I’ve been busy voting – and voting and voting – for Nick Swisher in the AL All-Star Final Vote campaign. I also wrote a piece for The Faster Times about the battle between him and Kevin Youkilis for the spot.
But I’m wondering who Yankee fans are throwing their National League vote to. I would have voted for Joey Votto – he got robbed of a spot on the All-Star team in the first place – but then he had to form an evil alliance with Youk. So that’s out.
So I decided to make my NL vote all about ticking off Squawker Jon. Initially, I voted for ex-Met Billy Wagner. The fact that the Mets lost two draft picks by trading him is something that still ticks Jon off. But then I thought I should also throw some votes Heath Bell’s way, given that the Mets essentially traded him for a bag of balls, and he’s turned out to be a great closer for the San Diego Padres. Now that Bell has been named to the team as an injury replacement, maybe Jon will have to deal with both Wagner and Bell as All-Stars!
My votes are all about getting Jon irate. Ever wonder why Met-killer Yadier Molina wins the catcher vote every year for the All-Star Game? It’s my fault!
Who is Jon voting for on his Final Vote ballot? I dunno, but I heard he’s going to announce it tonight in a prime-time special. Where do you think LeBron James got the idea?
Who are you voting for? Tell us about it!
