Players names noted in the bold red are St. Louis Cardinal's and I recommend that you vote for them.
Also, each person may vote up to 25 times a piece, so if you are torn between 2 players, you are albe to vote for both.

I enjoyed your post on the All-Star game. I did not enjoy your Cardinals references or the fact that you seem to be trying you shove your Cardinals preferences down our throats. They will crumble and the Cubs will have first place by Sept. And if Pujols starts over Lee it will be a horrible injustice.

I simply pointed out how many players from the Cardinals were currently in the race to play in the all-star game. Currently, Pujol's has over 560,000 votes, more than double what Lee has received. The numbers speak for themselves. Voting for Cardinal's players was a mere recommendation, not a requirement.
