Mexican League All-Star Game
The Mexican All-Star game is fast approaching. Taking place June 1-3 in beautiful Veracruz, fans are able to vote online to pick the starting lineups for both the North and South Zones. Like MLB, Managers are responsible for picking the pitchers.
One of the noteworthy stories has been the rise and fall of Jose Lima. He had an outstanding start to the season and then crumbled. Will he be picked? Stay tuned to find out. Until then, vote for your All-Stars here! Some of the names might be familiar to you.
Any recommendations as to who we should vote for? I’m sure a campaign to get someone in across the net could work, as I can’t see too many Mexican Baseball fans rolling up to their wi-fi connection and voting on the ballot.
One more Q: On the ballot, what the hell does this mean:
Si no encontraste a tu jugador favorito
inserta el nombre en la casilla y envÃalo.
(1st column: Name?) Nombre del Jugador
(2nd Column: Email?, Location?) Posición en la que juega

To answer your second question, it means that if your favourite player is not listed, you can do the write in vote by typing the player’s name into the boxes on the top right hand side of the page.
On second thought, I had better give Donny Leon the 3B respect because he is leading the league in ding dongs with 16 as well as hitting .354
