Hello, Miami

Oh the midsummer classic! Each year, around the middle of July, the best in the game of baseball converge on a city to prove who's the best. This year, the best players in the game will hit up Miami to determine, for pride at least, which league is the best in baseball. The 88th Major League Baseball All Star Game will take place at Marlins Park in Miami on Tuesday, July 11th, with first pitch set for 8PM.

Of course, as with all the selections, there are going to be people who feel like they might have gotten snubbed. A little surprised that Severino got the nod when a guy like Marcus Stroman of Toronto was left out. Stroman has more wins and a lower ERA then Severino. Hell how did Francisco Lindour get voted as a reserve for the All Star game, yet Xander Bogarts gets left out (but he is up for final vote for the game along with Elvis Andrus) and how he and Elvis Andrus were left out and Lindor is going is a bit much. Bogarts has the lowest numbers of the three and Andrus is the only other shortstop, along with Carlos Correra, to have driven in more then 50 runs from that position. As for the National League, its a little surprising Justin Turner isn't going to the game, but considering how loaded and top heavy the 3rd base position is in the NL it sucks he had to get left off (for right now as he is in the final vote). Otherwise, it has looked good for who's going to the ASG this season.
