Lynn an All Star
But no Cueto? Nah, no bias from LaRussa.

Re: Lynn an All Star
Given the current pitching schedule, would Cueto even be able to pitch in the game? If not, perhaps that is why he wasn't selected.

Re: Lynn an All Star
Cueto wasn't likely to pitch. Still deserved the pick. So did Phillips.

Re: Lynn an All Star
Well at least Phillips and Cueto will have a chip on their shoulder. A joke as they deserved a slot, but not the worst thing in the world as a Reds fan...

Re: Lynn an All Star
I'm not too bothered by this. Only so many spots to go around.

Hoping Phillips is a final five choice. They've announced Chipper and Harper as two of the five on the selection show.

Re: Lynn an All Star
And after everyone is picked, players start begging off, and they scramble to find fill-ins. Like Rolen, was it last year?

Re: Lynn an All Star
Bruce and Chappy made it. Cueto is punishment for the fight. Phillips probably a need to accomodate somebody else.

Re: Lynn an All Star
I still think it's a joke. To me, this just shows how petty LaRussa is. It's not the end of the world, but Phillips is the best 2B in the NL, and Cueto is having one of the best seasons of any SP. An absolute joke they're left off.

Re: Lynn an All Star
Lance Lynn is a joke. No Cueto is a joke. Phillips is the best 2nd basemen in the league.
However, I'm not too bad. It's pretty rad having at least 5 All Star caliber players on this team. 3 is good, 5 should be there, but hey! Can't complain.
