Man or Machine?

That there is the "make your vote count" Major League Baseball Final All-Star Vote^TM. You may think that the players pictured are those who are in the running for fans votes this year. Nope, it's the players who were won in years past, including Bobby Abreu in a Phillies cap, circa 2006. In no way is that confusing or retarded. Baseball: Embracing New Technologies! edit: You're a wily one, MLB.

Anyway, the real reason for this post is to encourage you to vote for Pat "The Bat" Burrell in said final vote, for obvious reasons like how he's tied for the lead among NL leftfielders in outfield assists. Seriously though, he's putting up numbers. Let's take a look at the competition:

Aaron Rowand (CF, Giants) - No.
Carlos Lee (LF, Astros) - Kind of surprising he wasn't already chosen. Then again, he's an Astro.
Cory Hart (OF, Brewers) - Ryan Braun is already an all-star, so the Brewer's outfield quota has been filled. Sorry Charles.
David Wright (3B, Mets) - Oh for the love of christ. Most likely going to win due to the huge NY fanbase. Also, gay.

All those (except for Hart) have been All-Stars before, so clearly it's now Burrell's time to shine. Also, looking at the rosters, seven Cub All-Stars is unwholesome, wrong and possibly a crime against nature. No wonder all these other deserving players will be excluded.
