Yes, Altuve was selected as the 2B starter. I understand that it is a popularity contest and, frankly, I feel it should be - it's an exhibition game for the fans, they should see who they want. I never had issue when Jeter was being selected as the starting shortstop over more worthy players because he was the most popular player on the most popular team. With Altuve, however, I just don't see that side of it, and was wondering if people think the Astros/Altuve are that much more popular than the Indians/Kipnis on a national scale.

A couple weeks ago, Omar F. Infante was to be the starting 2B, so I guess it's possible that general baseball fans started voting for Altuve as he was 2nd in voting, just to get someone past Infante. Maybe?

I'll go with the 'Maybe'?

Fans are a fickle bunch and I'd guess that Houston's success this year, along with it being like the 4th most populous urban area, may have some bearing.

That said, even by the worst definition of "deadhead" I can reasonably imagine, "lowest possible form of American" seems to be amped-up-female level of melodrama. There are some pretty shitty Americans out there.

Yeah, deadheads like to minimize how detrimental to society they are. It's one of the things that makes them so dangerous to our democracy.

Hi Polar Vortex, it's me, Huwaryu

Hu: Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous deadhead plot we have ever had to face. Slinky, do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, why, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soup, sugar, milk... ice cream. Ice cream, Slinky, children's ice cream.

Slinky: [very nervous] Lord, Hu.

Hu: You know when fluoridation first began?

Slinky: I... no, no. I don't, Hu.

Hu: Nineteen hundred and forty-six. 1946, Slinky. How does that coincide with your post-war deadhead conspiracy, huh? It's incredibly obvious, isn't it? A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core deadhead works.

I can no longer sit back and allow deadhead infiltration, deadhead indoctrination, deadhead subversion and the international deadhead conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Heyyyy...I don't remember saying any of that. Still, it all sounds very familiar

That's an interesting one. Right now, I'd go Upton for sure, but I'm afraid she won't age as well as Reanna. Conversely, Reanna is all tatted up, which I don't dig, but she likes abuse, so I'm thinking you could get her to do some seriously sick shit.

I bet you got paid though!

Not a tough decision for me at all. I don't do any mudsharking.

Based on your choice of avatar, that really surprises me.

Go Reds.

Go Brew Crew.

I have no personal investment in the Confederate flag. I have it there to mock the do-gooder wannabes who compulsively bandwagon every fadish cause that comes along. If I could find a 'homophobe' wearing a Redskins jersey with a Confederate flag in the backround, that would be the prefect avatar.

Haha @Huwaryu_in_exile picking the Ginny's tonite.

Alright, regarding the mudsharking, let's say you're a traveling rock and roll band called The Vanilla Fudge. . .

Seriously, is that just a ghetto thing, or all encompassing? Would you plug Halle Berry, or Jada Pinkett?

Halle would be very, very hard to pass up. Jada Pinkett? No thanks. The one I'd really like to hit is Sade Adu, circa 1985. There are nudies of her out there on the web. Look her up.

That was the "Sweetest Taboo" lady, right? Sure, I'd hit that.

Some times Jada looks hot as hell to me, other times she looks like she wants to steal my bike.

If a dude says he'd pass up Halle Berry, he's gay, lying, or both.

 

[craigk217]

Halle Berry ... hands down. Nano-second decision.
