I'm no expert but he might have picked up a few losses due to our offense being about as effective as a plunger that's missing the handle.

Gil Mesh should do the right thing and just give his all star position to someone else. For the sake of the game it's not really fair to have someone be off the team for a pity pick.

Does MLB still have that rule where they MUST pick at least one player from each team? Is this why its a pity pick??

kcfanXIII · 07-01-2007, 07:24 PM

every team gets at least one player, its not taking someone's spot. NTM, he deserves to be there. aside from the record, and he can't help a lack of offense, his numbers are among league leaders. so before you go saying who deserves to get in, take a look at the numbers, not just the name on the front of the jersey.

He's 5-6. With multiple losses in games where he's pitched into the 7th and allowed 1-2 earned runs. With his ERA and innnings pitched, which are, again, top 10 in the league, on virtually any team that scores runs, he probably has at least 10 wins by now.

He belongs. Go bitch about something else.

I still dont like the rule. This only adds to so many players getting snubbed every year. Managers are forced to choose guys haveing inferior years on inferior teams such as the Royals.

Remember a few years back when Ken Harvey made the team?? What a joke.

Exactly.

What a bunch of dumbasses.

Gil (Ga) Meche does not have more quality starts than any Royal pitcher from the entire 2006 season. Nor are there only 4 pitchers in the AL with more quality starts than him right now. He's 5-6 and simply sucks.

Joakim Soria also would have been totally undeserving.

He does not have a 2.41 ERA. Opponents are not batting .192 against him. He is simply a 1-2 pitcher who also sucks.

Baseball is a team sport, and the Royals have a losing record; ergo all of the Royals suck.

These guys are just trying to rile people up. Anyone who's actually watched the Royals or baseball at all knows Gil has performed at an All-Star level. The Royals have had some lame All-Star reps but this is definitely not one of them.

Gil definetly deserved it, if we could score some runs he'd easily be above .500.

Yeah its not like last year where Redman was 5+ in ERA. Meche also has good K's numbers as well comparing to most in the american league. He has been very solid for us, probably the best pitcher we've had in a long time. The times that he has lost we havent gave him any run support. There were a few times I can recall where he pitched like shit, but other than that he's been very good.

Top 10 in ERA, IP, and almost top 10 in K's. I'll take that any day from a starting pitcher.

Gil is more deserving that any All Star the Royals have had in recent memory!
