how is this possible – a Brewer beating out a NYC player? is anyone voting? we have millions more people here, this should be cake.
David Wright: .288; 17 HR, 70 RBI, 57 Runs, 9 SB
Corey Hart: .296; 14 HR, 56 RBI, 46 Runs, 13 SB
Ar. Ramirez: .287; 15 HR, 61 RBI, 57 Runs, 1 SB
Pat Burrell: .281; 22 HR, 54 RBI, 48 Runs, 0 SB
David Wright has the best numbers out of all four players….particularly in the RBI and Runs categories…
If Corey Hart is elected over Dubs with his 14 fewer RBI and 11 fewer runs, it’s a joke.
Yes, Burrell has 5 more HR, but he also plays in a little league field, and his RBI and Run totals pale in comparison.
if he doesn’t get eleceted it would have been due to the apothetic met fans out there. that is worst part.
I wouldn’t blame the mets or the fans here…Last year when the Mets openly campainged for Paul LoDuca, they were blasted in the media.
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t….
NEWSFLASH
Burrell has a .308/.440/.712/1.153 line on the road this year. Only 7 of his 22 HR have come at home.
Your argument holds no water.
So far this year, Burrell >> Wright.
NEWSFLASH:
Only statistical categories (not to mention a word about Burrell’s impressive defensive prowess — oh right, that is non-existant) in which Burrell has out-performed Wright are HR, SLG and OBP — Wright has higher BA, more RBI, more R, more SB, more H, more 2B (same 3B), more TB, less Ks.
No argument that OBP and SLG matter, but to make a blanket statement about Burrell’s superiority is blatantly superficial
I couldn’t care less about runs or RBIs. They are more an indicator of the lineup AROUND the players than the actualy players themselves.
In 52 more ABs Wright has 17 more hits, but 4 less XBH.
It comes down to this really:
Burrell has a .110 OPS advantage, while Wright has 9 steals. You tell me which you’d rather have.
I’d rather have Wright every day of the week. Plain and simple, he’s more productive then Burrell this year.
And you want to talk about lineup around the player? Seriously? Is the Phillies lineup suddenly impotent?
You stink.
In the most important statistical categories, Burrell has been more productive this year then Wright.
OBP and SLG are the two most important measurements of a hitters performance. RBIs tell us nothing about the player.
Im a Mets fan, but I am voting for Hart. Wright has not played like an all-star this year. Sub .900 OPS is mediocre.
You’re not a very good Mets fan then.
ugh, I’m sick this conversation. Look, I’m a stats guy most of the time, I think OBP, SLG, and especially OPS are great ways to evaluate a player and especially to predict future performance. That said, the name of the game is scoring runs, and when you are voting on an award that values past performance, RBI and Runs Scored are VERY important. True, Wright’s gaudy RBI total is absolutely useless as a predictor of future success, but it does show that he HAS been valuable so far this season. Why hardcore sabermetrics people (who are otherwise really smart) can’t seem to understand this is so far beyond me.
boooooooooooooooooooooooooooo retarded mets fan…holier than thou….im sick of it
was that to me?
HOMER ALERT:
Put Chipper’s stats up:
Granted, DW has played 10 more games, but here’s a + / – comparison.
Wright vs. Chipper:
Hits: -8
2B: +8
HR: -1
RBI: +20
BB: +1
Is Chipper having that great a year? Yes, he has similar stats (with the except of 2Bs and RBIs, which DW is clearly crushing him) in 10 less games, but HE HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO PLAY AS MANY GAMES. I’m sorry, David should not be sweating out this final vote, he should be starting!
Larry deserves the start. The guy was hitting .400 for awhile and while a large portion of the voting was taking place. However, David deserves to be in the game as well. And with Larry’s injury issues he may back out of the ASG at somepoint anyway.
I’ll grant the notion that a guy hitting near .400 two months into a season should get the start. But, for the players and hurdle overlooking Wright like this is kind of ridiculous. Now, I’ll admit, I HATE Larry so my opinion is skewed, but Wright has 70 more RBI, so who really cares how many singles Chipper has? For all his hits, he couldn’t drive in as many runs as David? He also couldn’t score as many runs, couldn’t hit more doubles, could only hit one more homer?
obviously, i mean wright has 20 more rbi (70 total).
the only all-stars at the years game should be rays rays and more rays.
it should be an all-ray game.
they should have a sting-ray theme.
they should mention how the new Walmart logo and colors copied the rays and even the ray’s yellow sun (on uniform).
Forget about Milwaukee player beating an NYC player. Gimme a break. It is Corey Hart, people. It’s a classic example of stuffing a ballot box. However, in all honesty who cares? I’m sure D-W could use a few days off anyway.
But Corey Hart? Come on.
David Wright cares..
And while he may say the right things, he’ll still feel snubbed by _us_ his supposed fans, if he doesn’t make it.
There have supposedly been 4 mil votes for Wright, he’s losing the vote, but I don’t think he’d feel the fans were snubbing him if he didn’t win.
David shouldn’t feel snubbed. He should reflect on his mediocre first half. I don’t give a damn about side by side comparisons, Wright hasn’t played like an all star.
oh god again with this …the team was mediocre not wright he played his ass off…you people make me sick,…..its embarrassing that no one voted for jose or david to start instead we have billy going? what a freaking joke you want to talk about mediocre… how come the giants have more allstars going…dont give me that crap!!!! fans are still pissed about last year get over it already…..and stop with the resting thing its a damn shame
I don’t want him there. I want him resting.
You rest him. I’ll keep him home and make him EARN IT next year.
Earn it guy.
We don’t need a rep there. We have outspoken Willy B. Wagner there.
It is clearly Bud Selig supporting his Brewers.
They’ve obviously fixed it…Wright could barely beat out Bill freaking Hall in the regular vote.
What the heck is going on in Brewer land
“What the heck is going on in Brewer land”
Er, the Brewers have been surging the past month and were in last place over a month ago and Corey Hart is a big part of that. Unlike what we can say about David Wright. And the Brewers have vaulted themselves into a tie for first place in the WC. Thats whats happening in “brewer land”. Kudos to Hart…..
Yea, Wright is only 5th in RBI in the MLB, he has 100 hits, 9 sb, and almost 60 runs scored. Hart is in no way more deserving than Wright.
We’re closer to first than the Brewers.
smells like Bug Selig shenanigans to me
*Bud
i like it better as bug! funny stuff.
Hilarious…and appropo
Normally I ignore spelling/grammar errors but I can’t help myself here.
“appropo” = apropos
Corey Hart? The dude that wears the sunglasses at night?
That’s horses&%t.
I have voted over 150 times over the past two days between the internet and texting from my cell phone.
Why is he still trailing? Jeez, this is New York! Can’t we get a dozen or so people to blitz them with votes?
I’ll keep going with both the texting and the internet.
“”I have voted over 150 times over the past two days between the internet and texting from my cell phone.”"
Wow….sounds like we need to find some other….er, (ahem)….hobbies to keep the brain occupied……
Some of you guys sound like school girls with all the whining for david..
something is fishy – i have voted way more than 25 times and it has not stopped me yet. I ams tarting to doubt that my votes are being counted and that something has glitched (or the fix is in)….
For the final vote you cant vote an unlimited amount of times.
is there no limit to the # of votes I can cast???
This is total bs I have been voting at least 50-100 times per day. Lets get this going MetsBlog we need more representation
ive got a job
You seem to have sufficient time to post comments though…
You need to get your priorities straight, Kowalski!
Someone in Milwaukee is pulling something
Clearly people in Milwaukee have nothing better to do but vote.
I just came back from a bachelor party, and those people are too busy get trashed all the time to vote.
It’s simple…Every Giambi vote is a Hart Vote. We should be doing the same.
every wright vote is Longoria for me.
same here.
excellent point kenbot.
o so I’m not the only one wondering why Corey Hart has so many votes, ’cause I thought I missed some monster numbers he put up.
I’d rather give Wright the time off. I mean, seriously, who gives a sht about the all-star game? It’s not like the managers play to win anyway.
David Wright apparently “gives a sht.”
jERRY is prob hoping he doesnt make it, so he can get “fresh” as jerry would say…
true.
For the 3rd time Wright is not gonna beat out Hart. I don’t know what they’re doing over there but it worked for Braun and it’s working for Hart.
It almost worked for Bill Hall and Weeks too. Those two came so close to getting in…I just wish they did so everyone could see what sham this is.
I think people who live in real cities realize how pointless and fleeting the all-star game is
I think there is more to it. Someone in Milwaukee has figure out a way to do an automated vote or something.
That’s possible. That, and I honestly think that the fact that his name is Corey Hart may help. And oh yeah, AL fans all think it’s cute to vote for an itty-bitty cootsie widdle small market team!
No, just imagine a small town putting on the all out blitz (morning drive time, afternoon radio shows, evening drive time, 6 o’clock news, 10 o’clock news, newspapers, sports radio, etc.). There’s absolutely nothing else to talk about in Milla-Walk-Kay.
In NYC, there is just simply too much noise for the Wright for Prez, I mean All-Star game to penetrate.
“”There’s absolutely nothing else to talk about in Milla-Walk-Kay.”"
Actually, the Brett Favre coming out of retirement story is taking up most of the air time in Milwaukee the past few days. So there goes your “theory” And trust me, Brett Favre and the Packers are ALWAYS the bigger story in Wisconsin, no matter what month it is…..
it’s called..actually caring! wow, Brewer fans care enough about their players and support them! How..exotic!
More Met fans have jobs?
You could have voted at any point over the last week (including the weekend and evenings when not working).
I’ve voted quite a bit. Just saying. . . .
so come on, guys!!! let’s get wright in.
These All-Star ballots are rigged by Republicans! LOL
Seriously, how is he not in first by a landslide? Must be all the hanging chads.
The Mets already have an abnormally short all-star break, just let Wright stay home and rest.
He’s going to be in NY anyway
It’s not just about Wright going to the All-Star game this year, but what about his career resume when it comes time for the Hall-of-Fame to start considering him.
And really, with Manuel as manager is anyone really concerned about us running Wright into the ground? He’s shown an impressive commitment to resting his players.
AND, it’s about Wright’s general satisfaction in being a member of the New York Mets. If he thinks he’s underappreciated, that will eventually be a problem.
Hey, remember how Keith did not make the All Gold-Glove Team? I do smell some anti-New York malfeasance. :P
How about the Mets actually make a push to get Wright on the team. Or for that matter, any player on the all-star team.
He’s all over Mets.com. Literally.
Is milwaukee near canada? I bet they are involved. Subversives.
Wright does not deserve to be on the All-star team this year. AT ALL!
Go away. Screen name tells us where you’re coming from.
Yea, from his/her mom’s basement!
He is second in the league in RBIs. Do you understand what that means? That means there is only one player in the league who has more RBIs. I think there should be room on the All Star Team for that.
why? please explain
OK, I’ll try. The second most productive player in the National League should probably be on the All-Star Team. Just a funny iea I have.
wright will replace chipper who is injured. no big deal. if hart is still leading now, he’s going to win.
chipper is playing
then he’ll probably just get hurt again. win-win.
Can we ask Gary to make an annoucement at the top of each inning? Maybe Linda Cohen can help us out as well.
I got the intern in my office to vote for Wright half the day. He asked for something to do, and I didn’t have anything work related, so I said vote for Wright? he’s all for it, given he’s a Met fan too =D
I so wish I had an intern to do that nonsense. Luckily for me, I’ve got no work to do myself, so I can sit around all day voting.
that’s beautiful. im voting all day while i intern at a law firm, but not by request
Wow Flushing, you sound like a real class act…..way to go…..
im not very proud of it, but someone has to get DW to the all-star game when I’m working. We can’t only have Wags representing us. ugh
Again a real class act……ugh…..pathetic
I wish they showed the amount of votes each player had
Si – that would inspire people more. Make it like a real computer game and easier to avoid our jobs.
how is this possible? Aren’t people voting for Wright? I voted for him like a hundred times. How are people supposed to know by how much David Wright is trailing. Wright is better than that guy Hart. I wonder if they promoted to vote for Wright in Shea Stadium. I think people are real jerks for not voting for Wright.
mets fans are mad at their team and they took it out on wright and reyes.
reyes is #3 in runs, #2 in hits, #1 in triples, #3 in sb’s…you’d think he was kaz matsui with the way fans, keith hernandez, and gary cohen talk about him. of course, keith was a model citizen as a player and gary doesn’t have an anger problem and isn’t overly sensitive.
Colorado Rockies Receive:
- Oliver Perez
- Fernando Martinez
- Nick Evans
- Mid-Level Prospect
New York Mets Recieve:
- Matt Holliday
Burracho
estoy borracho
way too much.
waaaaay too much, with ollie a FA you are basically also dealing away a sandwich pick in the draft
matt holliday is a coors field all-star
like anyone from COL his numbers are without a doubt helped by the ball park but he is batting .309 on the road this year and also has to play alot of road games every year in SD, and SF.
…sorry also thats way too much and we’re not getting holliday so lets all just move on
2007:
home: 25hr 82rbi .376 (all-star)
away: 11hr 55rbi .301 (nice player)
also terrible defense.
Dont take offense to this but, ARE YOU INSANE?
Dumbest trade I ever read. Matt Holiday sucks outside of CO. I have no interest in him.
Is it because of the 25 times (at least) you can vote? It’s like welfare for people from milwaukee. Free money to use on hart. I hate them.
What’s up with these validation keys? I’ve entered the wrong number like 20 times already. Is that an 8 or a 0. I can’t freaking tell.
I’d rather Wright had the three days off.
This is pathetic. WHO CARES about the all star game? I mean seriously, do you actually watch the entire game? Its pointless. I’d rather have David take the day off and relax we all know he needs the rest. Not to mention the risk of injury. Hart in Milwaukee is having a fine year and is helping that team alot anyway so kudos to him and let him have it.
DO NOT VOTE FOR DAVID WRIGHT!
If he wants to play in the final ASG in Yankee Stadium, then as fans why shouldn’t we vote for him? Besides he is going to be in NY, it’s not like he is going to LA or something
you are an idiot. david wright cares about this game. he doesnt need the rest. maybe the rest will get him out of a playing groove or whatver. he wants to go. he’s earned it.
as fans, we definitely owe it to him. he’s asking and we’re just not caring, even when the guy does everything we could ask for and more.
our fans are so selfish.
“”as fans, we definitely owe it to him”"
Until David Wright reimburses me every time I pay $15 to park my car at Shea or pay $7 for a beer or mortgage my house everytime I take the family to a game, I dont owe David anything. And the risk of injury is too great to flush another season down the toilet just to appear in a meaningless exhibition game, which is what the All Star Game is
In that aspect, youre damn right I’m selfish….
Jeez. If it’s that much of a financial hit to go to the game, stay home and spare us the self-righteousness. There would be another chance to watch one of your heroes if David makes the all-star team.
Seriously…do people think baseball games used to be free? No one is forcing you to go to games with or without your family.
I love people who think sports organizations owe them a cheap activity with their entire family. Go to a park- they are free.
He will not “relax,” he will spend the day pissed at idiots like you who decided they knew what was best for him and made known that they did not think him worthy of a spot on a team of the National League’s best players.
And you call yourself a Mets fan?????
Fans of the game itself do enjoy and do watch the ASG. It is far from pointless. It determines home field advantage in the WS.
If he’s lucky, he’ll see maybe one inning of work, or maybe a pinch hit at bat. Yeah, that’s really over taxing himself.
Considering he wants to go, I can’t understand your mindset that you know better what’s good for him.
Voting him in, especially since he wants to go, is a ‘thank you’ from us fans for his efforts on behalf of the team we live and die with.
I think you should give up your post name and give it to a real fan who calls himself John…..
I think you hit the nail on the head. A lot of these “baseball fans” could care less about watching and enjoying the game of baseball. They just want the Mets to end up on top of the standings. (Note: I am not for a nanosecond conceding that keeping Wright off the team would increase wins — I find that notion uncommonly stupid.) The game on the field doesn’t seem to matter to these people. If first place were decided by beer pong, they’d still be happy. To me, we follow a baseball team, not lines in a newspaper.
He’s got more risk of injury doing something out of character like relaxing or wandering aroudn New York on his days off than doing his normal day-to-day routine.
If you don’t care, then just shut up. Otherwise, go back to Philly.
A. We all need to vote get on ur cellphones and text N5 to the number 36197…its very easy just keep hitting resend while watching tv or… whatever ive voted like 1500 times its pretty simple.
B. Guy that suggested that Matt Holiday trade i would LOVE 2 see that happen!!!
ollie is a FA and will want mega $$$
I like F-Mart but he seams injury proned and no matter how good he turns out how much better can he get then holliday anyway
Nick evens who knows about
and mid level prospect… big deal
It is true… he is a coors field hitter
“its very easy just keep hitting resend while watching tv or… whatever ive voted like 1500 times its pretty simple”
You say that now, but wait until you get billed ten cents for each of those messages.
unlimited texting
only good news is that soriano announced he won’t play, and hart will already be a CF (if he wins). so even if wright comes in second, he could still get picked
Would that happen?
Hopefully.
and the day offf??? he plays and hour and a half MAX and he can take the day b4 and the day after off 2 do whatever he wants….and hes only 25 NOT 35
This may be the worst NL All-Star team ever assembled thanks to Cubs and Brewers fans. Seriously I hope the NL loses again and either the Cubs or Brewers go the World Series and lose thanks to the fact that they don’t have home field advantage. Then maybe just maybe they will look back and say hmmmm maybe voting in a right fielder that’s batting .284 with 7 HR 35 RBI’s and 8 SO just cause he is a cub wasn’t such a good idea. Seriously Wright, Burrell, and Lee are all more deserving players then Hart, Soriano, Fukudome, and Ramirez.
Which “Ramirez” you talking about ? Because both Hanley and Aramis (even as a reserve) deserve to be there at their respective positions.
David Wright: 137 ops+
Aramis Ramirez: 129 OPS+
And Wright is much better defensively. What are you talking about, John?
I was talking about Aramis I agree Hanley deserves to be there and im not saying Aramis doesn’t he is a good player I just don’t think he deserves to be there over Wright especially when the cubs have 6 other players in the game.
Just to add to this Clint Hurdle is a crappy manager that has put together one of the worse pitching staffs to complement this team. We have Aaron Cook (11-6, 64K’s and a 3.66 ERA) and Brian Wilson (24 saves, 39K’s and a 4.37 ERA) over guys like Johan Santana (7-7, 109K’s and a 2.96 ERA) or Cole Hamels (9-6, 118K’s and a 3.18 ERA). So simply because the Mets never give Santana enough runs to win and Cole Hamels has 2 less wins the Cook and neither play for the Rockies they aren’t good enough to pitch at the All-Star game. Terry Franconia didn’t have to play favorites with his pitchers maybe because he knows how important home field advantage is in the World Series. This whole All-Star selection process is so ridiculously F&*#ked up it isn’t even funny.
I just voted for Evan Longoria & Pat Burrell. Let’s give Wright a 3-day vacation.
you are an idiot. You call yourself a Met fan. Get out of this site. Traitor
Yeah. >:(
Agreed. Morons vote Burrell. YOu think you are supporting the Mets by keeping Mets off the team? You are overthinking this exercise.
get out.
Peter H = Phillies fan
Pete H = BREWERS fan . . . or Phillies fan . . . whatever he is, he’s a plant with way too much time on his hands.
Have to agree… you are a moron u should voted for Corey Hart since he is already leading…
D wright please enjoy the rest… See you in the 2nd half
I really wish there was no validation code. Wright would have a lot more votes if all I had to do was click repeatedly.
Lol….too much brain power to use up?
No, too much time.
you’re right..then I could write a script that voted for him 500 times a minute.
We got better scripters in NY than Milwaukee right?
Thank You!
-From a DWright fan with poor vision who had at least 1 out of every 3 votes invalid b/c I couldn’t see the damn code…..
Nobody on this team deserves to be an All Star the way they’ve been playing the first 3 months as a reminder that they need to get their priorities as a team in order.
Lets not forget so many of you here were so eager to dismantle this team and ship them out of town less than a month ago. And now you’re crying about having only one player on the team?? And Billy Wagner made it, but with 6 blown saves, he hardly deserves it. So just suck it up and enjoy the break and hope the Mets can put it all together and get to the October classic. Because thats the only inter-league games that matter. Who gives a frig about the All Star Game….
Oh yes, because this team has been mediocre and fans have been upset, David Wright shouldn’t go to the All-Stra game.
And when fans talked about dismantling the team, I doubt they meant David Wright.
Mets fans are so stupid sometimes.
This doesn’t even make sense. I’ll hope they make the October classic…and if they do, can I complain that they didn’t get home field advantage because a bunch of undeserving players made the all-star team, while David Wright and Jose Reyes got to sit home and rest up?
Just because the team as a whole hasn’t performed up to your standards, doesn’t mean the individuals on the team don’t deserve credit. I won’t even go through all the stats because it’s been done plenty of times before.
Would you please just stop?
We all know you’re really a Phillies fan trying to disguise yourself with your poster name…..
David Wright.
WOW you guys should visit “mets dot com” it’s hysterical.
Note to Mike Nichols: You seem to want Wright to make the team. If so, you have to motivate people by ensuring that the goal is within reach. Reminding people over and over again that Corey Hart still has the lead is just going to discourage people. You should mention that the gap is (supposedly) very narrow, only a tiny percentage (in all likelihood) of total votes cast.
we should have all donated to run an ad in the nytimes or something…
Armas on the DL and Muniz back up, according to Ed Coleman on WFAN
I just heard that. I am not confident at all with Muniz on the mound.
Yeah, seriously.
Evan All-wright-y….corny but catchy…rays mets pact….vote
i can still vote!
i dont think there is a maximum amt of times you can vote
i thought the votes cut off today…because i thought today was thursday
Oof, that’s rough.
Every time you decide you’re sick of voting for Wright, read through “john the mets fan”’s comments. Do you want that guy to prevail?? Heck no. VOTE WRIGHT!
In all seriousness, that keeps me going.
Ditto.
“john the mets fan” = alter ego of “Nimrod the Phillies fan” Capiche?
Some tips for those voting… It’s a lot easier texting it in! just keep replying to the message that says “reply with n5 to vote for wright”
Actually.. you can just reply to any message.. A lot easier than typing those crazy codes in
yeah, i can spam vote n5 a lot easier but its not as fun when I can also keep Giambi from going.
I sure hope the Mets are encouraging people to do this during the game. Not only will it pile on the votes, but it will keep people from taking calls from friends who see them on TV and waving to the camera.
i must have voted like 200 times… i can honestly say i did my all for D Wright.
Me too. Since the voting opened, I have probably voted at least 250-300 times. I lost count at 200.
Lets get our Davie to the all star game! If he wants it, lets give it to him.
EVERYONE STOP POSTING ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD AND GO VOTE!
The most annoying thing about voting online is not the validation key, it’s the fact that the site remembers your e-mail address, your birthday, who you’re voting for… everything, except that it makes you uncheck the “please send me spam” boxes every single friggin’ time.
It’s a waste of time to uncheck it… Just make a spam email address and use a fake birthday if you wish.. You need to be effiicient to get more votes in!
Hart’s winning the popular vote, and we know he’s got the superdelegates (Selig), so pretty much, he’s going to the game. Absolutely ridiculous that our only all-star is Billy Wagner. Kinda makes me want to hurl.
Oh yeah ‘SURE-SURE’ only 5 pct (of fans on yesterday’s SNY mets broadcast) didn’t think he deserved io make it.
Mets fan’s know that he doesn’t deserve it this particular year.
I voted for Wright about 250 times
you put up 250.
Metsfan 2452459231 your very dedicated.
Try sales.
maybe you should be a buyer. You picked up 250 or you threw down 250.
Now I’m confused.
I want to have a reason to watch the all-star game.
Just alittle food for thought in 341 at bats Corey Hart is batting .296 with 46 runs, 14 HR, 56 RBI, 17 BB, 60 KO, and 13 SB. In 329 at bats Carlos Delgado is batting .243 with 47 runs, 16HR, 50 RBI, 36 BB, 74 KO, and 1 SB. Despite a higher batting average and more steals he really isn’t that much more of a productive player then Delgado and this guy is beating David Wright. Seriously people get out there and VOTE!!!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO The Fans who did not vote …what a disgrace… Wright and Reyes Should be in the All Star Game……
agreed
