Should the managers pick the team or the GMs? I'm just wondering that the end game is here.

it's fun to show how stupid the process is


I didn't think anything of all the royals being top vote getters since kc is the defending AL champion and a first place team this year.

it hasnt happened like this in a long time and plenty of teams have been the defending champs and doing well the next season. the Royals fans are making it a complete joke, may as long go along for the ride.

Clarifying my earlier point, not saying every royal DESERVES to be in the AS game, just didn't strike me as odd that they were leading in popular voting all that much. There was that one year where the NL OF was Phillies for the whole game

I'm glad to see the Phillies have an increased chance of 4 home World Series games this season. It's 1 in 16 quintillion now versus the idealized lineup's 1 in 22 quintillion.

maybe if they didn't allow you to vote 35 times. This is a disgrace.

I have no problem with anything that is going on. The HFA is kind of neat I think, and if fans of other teams don't like Royals' fans enthusiasm, they should get busy online.

How about if the SuperBowl were played in the stadium of the conference that won the Pro Bowl? (pretend old format) It's absurd that the outcome of the league's championship is affected by an exhibition game.

Every fan of the Cardinals, Dodgers, Nationals should vote all Royals since it may actually improve their odds of winning the WS. It's silly that such sabotage actually matters.

Sandoval not playing today because he liked a picture on instagram during the game yesterday.
