  He's an idiot for putting those names in with those 3. If that's the case, Cueto should be too. With ladick coaching, Cueto won't be going. Though he deserves it over the 2 cards pitchers.

  For me, I'm thinking the same thing, except for James McDonald (6-3, 2.19 ERA, 0.95 WHIP) and A.J. Burnett (8-2, 3.24 ERA) being who I'm talking about instead of Cueto. McDonald's been better this year than anyone on St. Louis, but you know LaRussa will make sure guys from his old team will get any possible shot to eat up roster spots.

  Cueto has been an animal this month (season)!!!

  Yeah....I knew Wainright was doing better but went directly to his stats to check.
  
  He's 6-7....I stopped there.

  It will just show how big of a joke all-star voting is.

  Yeah, I could have understood if it was Lohse, who's having a very strong year. But Wainright? WTF?

  Perez and Cabrera from the Indians made it. Not Kipnis.

  Nevermind, I was reading last year's article. Who was the reserve at 2B?

  Cueto and Phillips getting snubbed is a damn shame.
  
  Fuck LaRussa.
• Midstate01

  

  Phillips not making it is ridiculous.
  
  I knew Lapussy would snub Cueto
• sherm03

  

  My only hope is that the snub lights a fire under both Cueto and Phillips and they absolutely tear it up the rest of the year.

  Cueto on larussa:
  “I see that I have great numbers,” he said. “I thought the way I pitched this year, I’d have a chance to go to the All-Star Game. I don’t know what happened. I don’t if know the manager of All-Star Game is pissed at me because I went out with one of his girlfriends.”

  I understand being upset about being snubbed, but that is shitty....bro code.
  
  He sounds like a scorned woman

  I wonder if Phillips is nearly respected by the players as he is the fans. I think the players picked Altuve.
