Mannnnnnnnnnnnnnn.
How about 0 for 2 with two K's, plus a botched double play and the Mets are on the Road for game 7 vs Texas?
You still want Story in there?

Texas in the World Series? Mets in the World Series? Not happening.

Also not my fault Story is better than Brandon Crawford

I don't get the Cubs love for ASG. I love the team, I'm a theo man all the way..but none of the Cubs position players are tops in any way. None. I've submitted 10 ASG ballots so far, and might just code a quick app to submit a few thousand just to undo the crap votes.

3B Bryant is good, but Arenado is way better
2B Zobrist is good, but D. Murphy way better
1B Rizzo is OK, but you have to fight thru Goldy and Myers to even look at his stats
SS is Seager all the way, some guys can vote Story and it's decent pick, even the Reds SS is good.
OF just no. Marte, CarGo, Ozuna, before you even get to maybes like Cespedes or Harper...all way above who is on the Cubs

The cubs are an excellent team - amazing on the mound, great all over the field. Its crazy to have a top 5 guy all over the diamond, but the ASG is a reward for the best individual performance, not being in the top 5-10 AND on the best team.

And who the heck is voting for Yadi? Are people just immune to facts and stats??
