The National League team boasts an all-Chicago Cubs infield which has some people very, very pissed.

On Tuesday, July 12, baseball's best and brightest stars will convene in San Diego's Petco Park for the 2016 All-Star Game. The Home Run Derby will be held on July 11 and the Futures Game will kick off the All-Star festivities on July 10.

dont follow baseball too tough, but the Cubs got the entire infield? they that good? :lupe:

Kris Bryant should start, Rizzo is a very good player thats beloved, Zobrist is an older player who has never started one but has made them before. the fans really came into effect with Addison Russell, a very good young player but not an All Star starter type yet

Khris Davis has to be the A's rep, why Vogt? hes been ehh for a year +, catching is really down right now on the whole

weird to see so many relievers for the AL, only 5 starters compared to 9 in the NL. doesnt matter in an ASG but ive never seen that before. if they didnt have to have Colome on there you'd assume Quintana or Sanchez make it. hard to believe none of the PIT OF's made it, Cutch having a bad year and the other 2 got snubbed. Marte is in the final 5 vote tho
