    MLB cancelled 60 million ALL STAR GAME votes
    They were pissed that the royals were gonna have 6+ players starting and are looking for excuses to get away from it. MLB all star game quickly becoming just another joke all star game. And to think this game determines who has home field advantage in the World Series. I'm sure Sonny Gray or Chris Sale really care about the AL team getting home field advantage when there team is in the basement of there division. If anything you want your division rival not to win a World Series.

        People were getting confirmation emails back saying thanks for voting all 35 times and they never once voted. So i reckon groups are using others emails to stuff the ballots. MLB loves the exposure

          Come on... it has to be robot voting for Kansas City players... it's a fukking joke.

          Miguel Cabrera for the Tigers not selected first? Get the fuk out of here.

          It just shows the system can be scammed. Hopefully MLB corrects it.

              Go back to the paper ballots, and just distribute them at Major and Minor League parks. Sometimes rules from a much simpler time might be the way to go.

                    Nobody knows who is going to the WS at this point. and furthermore, judging from last year, didn't Wainright cost the NL home field by " grooving" a few pitches to you know who ???? DJ.

                      Yeah, sad. Like Favre falling over for Strahan to get sack record.

                            The All-Star game has so much in stake now to have fans vote.

                            Good move by the MLB.

                                    Everyone should vote all the Phillies to be starters for the NL just so they will do away with this online voting crap. Let the players vote each other in or have the mangers vote the guys in. The fans don't know anything nor do they care.

                                          I agree...I was kidding above....what they're doing here in KC is a disgrace, but the locals think they're in the right because for some reason in their twisted minds they think there's a bias against small market teams and it's a way of standing up for the "little guy". They don't realize how it makes them look like dumb asses when they vote for guys like Infante and Rios

                                            It's never going to happen, plus big market teams that fill the stands typically get more votes.

                                            They can fix this problem without going backwards.

                                            And what loser spends all day as a virtual ballot stuffer for the MLB All Star Game

                                                  Voting by fans should be illegal. Only players and coaches should vote.

                                                    charge a dollar per ballot online. if you go to a game you can vote there for free.

                                                    either way, you should only be able to vote once. 35 times a person? that's just stupid.

                                                      Get the vote out of the hands of the fans if an exhibition game is going to decide what team gets an extra game in the World Series, then give the voting to the managers, beat writers that cover the game day in day and such.

                                                      If that game means that much get the vote out of the Susie Queue that has, what? up to 35 votes who will waste them on Omar Infante because he's got a real cute ass.

                                                      You want the fans involved in the All Star Game voting?
                                                      Then make it what it should be, an exhibition game and only an exhibition game.

                                                            Nash they can do a combo kinda vote, give fans some say but not all of it. I assume the way it's set up now the fans have all of the vote but I really don't know
