too bad for the DH role, I was really hoping no Red Sox would be voted in

Alright, now Chipper's in thanks to Kemp's injury

.

Now they just need to let Harper & Darvish get in. Regardless of whether or not they deserve it (which I think they do), they're the only ones of the final ballot that'll draw any attention to the ASG. Harper's the phenom with eyes from all over the baseball world on him & Darvish getting in will instantly bring more money to the MLB from Japan.
I mean no one gives a fuck about Bourn, Peavy or whoever else is holding on. The whole event is one big popularity contest anyway.
