Giants fan from McCovey Chronicles will campaign for Kinsler

PrintWe Giants fans know very well that your second baseman Ian Kinsler just got snubbed big time for not making the All-star team in the first place.
So we would like to help you guys vote Ian Kinsler in for the 33rd man on the all-star team while you guys in Texas would help us vote for Pablo "Kung Fu Panda" Sandoval. This way both our players would make it deservingly so. How's that sound?

I've already voted 100 times for ian
and voted for Pablo as the NL 33rd man, so im already doing my part
"The House That Ruth Built, 85 years old, goes out as The House That Hamilton Knocked Down"
Souns good.
I’ve already voted for Kinsler and Pablo about 200 times anyway.
The 2009 Texas Rangers offense: sigh...
I preemptively already voted for sandoval in my ~30 votes, though ill continue to do so
thanks!
the preceding post was a great success.
pablo sandoval
one of the scariest guys the rangers have faced all year. i’m sold
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
He came out of nowhere
The bliss Giants fans feel is phenomenal.

ill vote for Pablo, i think you should vote for Lind though or at least check out there numbers and see them.
ill throw some vote Ian’s way and Pablo’s way, but I dunno if he’s the most deserving out of the AL guys
mormons stole me and held me against my will with Oklahoma beer and 12+ hour work days.
those are the 2 i voted for already
Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan was on the same pitching staff with Danny Darwin during the 1986 through 1988 seasons. Both were described by Milo Hamilton as "tall, tough Texans." It was a source of debate amongst Astros players and fans over who would win in a fight, Ryan or Darwin. Though Astros pitcher Bob Knepper attempted to set up a fight between the two during spring training in 1988, manager Hal Lanier stopped it before it could commence. Many experts, including Astros shortstop Rafael Ramirez, felt that Darwin would win because he "looked like someone no man would want to mess with."
I think these kind of things are pretty dumb
But FWIW, there’s not a peep of this on McCovey Chronicles.
Yes there is
Look in a lot of the threads where we talk about the rosters. Plus, I just posted one.
There's a bunch of smart folks at McC
And they all seem to be of the mindset that Ian got shafted. I haven’t voted as many times as most, but every time, I’m punching the button for Panda and Kinsler.

Didn't check inside GDTs
Just looked for a fanpost like this. Didn’t mean to imply that you were pulling dirty politics.
There's a few places in McC where we campaign for Kinsler!!
In both a rec’d fanpost and Gamethread.

I was voting for Kinsler even before this came up. Because Kinsler is excellent and leaving him off the All Star roster is a bad move.

I’ll post what I posted on McC, minus the typos.
It’s absurd that Kinsler and Cruz were snubbed, and I’ve been voting for Kinsler and Pablo all day. I hope you guy vote Pablo, as I’m continuing to vote Kinsler!
Proud father of Barry Zito. As long as he keeps throwing strikes, that is.
HAH
I made that post before I even read that thread on McC. Dudes who love Cruz who aren’t Rangers fans are invariably dudes that stole him in their fantasy draft.
I think i have voted at least 250+ times this afternoon and night for both Pablo and Kinsler.
I now have a vested interest in seeing Kinsler go.
Let’s get our guys in!!!
Sir Alex Omar Hinshaw: It's not right if it's not left.
PS – i’m from McC – we support Kinsler!

Vote count around 100 so far (before I noticed these threads). I’m glad to see the mutual support here.
Rafael Rodriguez: #8 on our list, n/a on a stat sheet.
BBk supports Sleepy's Law: "As a hoops discussion grows longer, the probability of an absurd trade proposal involving LeBron James approaches 1."
i like sandoval
shoulda picked him up in more keeper leagues this offseason (
Scout: He was a first-round pick right? Got a huge bonus?
KG: Oh yeah.
Scout: Well, he spent a lot of it on milkshakes.

Well, it's official.
After going to a Rangers-Giants spring training game only to encounter the friendliest fans I’ve ever met, and now with this unholy alliance, I’m officially pulling for the Giants to win the NL West.

Get on base or die, Salty.

Not of the Mariners or A’s and of course the Angels….. This sounds like a good deal to me.
I think the Rangers are a good team to pull for, especially with Nolan in charge.

Thanks!
I visited Surprise Stadium in the spring of 06 for a Rangers ST game and found it to be very pleasant. So you guys are pretty okay too.

Hey Guys
From McC and creator of this thread, and its great to see that the agreement is working.
Both of our guys are in the lead but it looks like Sandoval is only in a “slim lead” while Kinsler is in a “tightly packed” race.
Let’s keep voting!
An Unholy Alliance is forged
All the more reason for Pablo + Kinsler

Giants fan here. I voted for Kinsler and Sandoval. Go Rangers! Justin Smoak will be a stud for years to come.

From another Giants fan
Kinsler is definitely the biggest AL oversight (Pedroia does not deserve to go). I’m one of the many on McCovey Chronicles voting the Kinsler/Sandoval daily double. I’m also rooting for the Rangers to win the west.

Well you got my full support for Sandoval
The Kinsler/Sandoval alliance must not fail!
LA Is Distracted Today
They are all focused on the MJ Funeral and media frenzy. Matt kemp and Chone Figgins both pretty much lost a day of voting.
VOTE PABLO AND KINSLER!
Section 314 FTW!
I put in 400 at work today
I plan on putting in another 200 while watching the game tonight.
Section 314 FTW!
more support from G-Fans
remember the Kinsler Pablo ticket!
