HEY NOW...
OK. That's enough of that bullcrap.
Smashmouth sucks and that's all there is to it, OK? Glad we're clear on that.
My 2004 MLB All-Star rosters, including 32nd Man Candidates. Keep in mind that my starters aren't based on what the voting results are. Example: Jason Giambi is not my starting first baseman.

---The "obvious" snub here is Texas starting pitcher Kenny Rogers, who has 10 wins in 2004. But remember, Joe Torre is managing the A.L. squad this year. Don't be surprised if Rogers is selected to the team, but declines the invitation.
Freddy Garcia's record may be below .500, but he deserves to pitch in Houston.
Carlos Guillen is my 32nd Man for the American League.

---No, I don't have Sammy Sosa on my N.L. All-Star team. I guess Tim Kirkjian will have to leave a nasty comment in the comments box about how I should want to have a NL outfield that would consist of 3 men who have hit 500 home runs. Sorry, no can do. I still haven't forgotten Sosa's cork incident last year.
Jason Schmidt should start for the N.L., but we all know that Roger Clemens will. Besides, I can't wait to see Piazza and Clemens together in Houston. I'll call it, I expect a big home run off of Clemens in the All-Star Game. Who will hit it?
Vladimir Guerrero.
Yup, that's just how I see it. But don't place any bets on this so-called prediction.
Craig Wilson is my 32nd Man for the National League.
