Braves OF Michael Bourn added to N.L All-Star team, replacing Nats SS Ian Desmond, who will rest an oblique injury.

Tracy Ringolsby ‏@ROOTSPORTS_TR

Wash SS Ian Desmond, who homered two innings ago, just announced as All Star scratch because of oblique strain. BTW, still playing today

Uh...

EDIT: Nevermind, saw fan's posting on today's GDT... Yadi is on the bereavement list due to the death of his wife's grandmother.

I'm glad that they're at least replacing a Cardinal with a Cardinal, although I'm sure the Reds fans will be pissed that he wasn't replaced with either Cueto or Phillips. And they're probably doubly pissed now that Freese won the Final Vote.

If they wouldn't have [expletive] about it, i'm sure Cueto or Phillips might have stood a chance. As it stands now, TLR would have brought Aaron Miles over either one of those two.

edit: i forgot miles retired, but you get my point.

I think Tony would've convinced Miles to come out of retirement before selecting either of those 2 Reds players.

TLR would have picked Adam Kennedy or Ron Gant or even Jeff Brantley before Cueto and Phillips.

So who gets picked now? Holliday and Bourn are already in. Does this mean Harper finally makes it, or do they go somewhere else?

Eric Fisher ‏@EricFisherSBJ

Bryce Harper gets into ASG after all, replacing Giancarlo Stanton. Harper is youngest position player in ASG history.

Bryce Harper is in. Eleven or 12 more injuries, TLR is going to have to take a Red...

Every year more and more players seem to make lame excuses not to go to the asg. How long before they ditch it all together? Probably the next time they expand the playoffs to half the teams in the league.
