How in the world was this clown named over Phillips???? I don't buy the excuse that they needed another SS. That's crap. This is such a political game, there is no way I'm watch the All Star Game.

I guess he's just scrappier.:laugh:

It's a joke.
I guess that's the unfair advantage of having your manager as the All-Star team's manager.

LaRussa isn't the ASG manager, Garner is.

I thought Garner managed the Astros. Eckstein plays for the Cards.
Re: David Eckstein over Phillips??????
fans love David Eckstein and have no clue who Brandon Phillips is outside of the Reds and Indians fan base.

exactly. IMO the all star game is for little kids and as David Eckstein is a little kid I think it makes perfect sense.

See...this is why I need a break ;)
Re: David Eckstein over Phillips??????
The SS (Reyes) got hurt, it's natural that a SS was picked.
But then again many think the world is out to get the Reds so have at it.
Re: David Eckstein over Phillips??????
I hope Garner just sticks with Renteria the entire game.

Valid point, but Felipe played 3B in the ASG last year.
Re: David Eckstein over Phillips??????
A lot of shortstops should have made the team before Eckstein:
Omar Vizquel
Hanley Ramirez
Bill Hall
Khalil Greene
Jimmy Rollins
Felipe Lopez
of course... Eck has a higher batting average...:help:

Eckstein does all the little things
