A few of the baseball fan sites have teamed up under my lead for a three-way vote to block a few of the Royals from making the team. The three sites are @AstrosCTH, @JaysJournal, and @MCB_Tigers. If you are an Astros, Tigers, or Blue Jays fan, we are asking you to vote the following ways.

#VoteAltuve

#VoteMiggy

The other players we will leave to your discretion, even though George Springer, Jose Bautista, and Jose Iglesias could use some votes. I think most baseball fans are okay with some of the fan vote, but these three positions are not being properly voted on.

I read an interesting Tweet today, who suggested that the Cardinals hacked the voting system to get an all Royal lineup. His theory was that the AL team would lose, and the Cardinals will have home-field advantage in the World Series. I’m not going to go that far, but the Cardinals messed up with yesterday’s announcement of the hacking, I wrote about it here. The Astros will get their revenge on the Cardinals by beating them in the 2015 World Series.

Next time you vote, please vote for Miguel Cabrera, Jose Altuve, and Josh Donaldson. These players are more deserving of starting in the All-Star game. In the grand scheme of things, who starts the game doesn’t matter much, but vote for who you think deserves to go.

You can vote Astros here.

Next: Domingo, Where are you?I'm in Houston.
