Pat Burrell for MVP header image 2

All Star Blame!

July 16th, 2008 · No Comments

0-3…  .000..  3 Men Left on Base…  1 Strikeout..

That was the line of your 2008 NL All Star Last Vote Winner… Corey Hart. Those are appalling numbers. Not only that.. but he failed to throw out Justin Morneau at home plate in the bottom of the 15th inning.

How about the other final vote contestant who replaced Soriano?

1 for 3 with a strikeout and 3 men left on base. Slightly better.. but still shows how much Wright is a fraud.

Without a doubt.. Pat Burrell would have hit better then either of them. He would at least have had a walk for gods sakes!

So as we deal with Lidge’s first lost… and the NL’s ineptitude at winning the midsummer classic.. we can just imagine what if… What if the NL MVP would have been playing instead of those two bums.. What if Utley would have stayed at 2nd and not allowed Uggla to make 3 errors and cost the NL the win! What if Wagner stayed home and didnt blow the save! So many what if’s that we cant answer.. but we can answer one… Burrell would have brought home the win!
