Cubs Snubs

If the Cubs are indeed destined to win the World Series this year, then their eight (minus the injured Alfonso Soriano and Kerry Wood) representatives better prove it in tonight’s All-Star Game.

With a National League-high eight players (plus Lou Piniella in the dugout) selected to the All-Star Team, the Cubs hold a bulk of the responsibility in helping themselves win home field advantage for the World Series. 

Although, some argue that a certain Cubs outfielder voted to start doesn’t deserve the honor over snubs like Xavier Nady or Aaron Rowand; and this, in turn, jeopardizes the current NL-favorites chance of game seven at Wrigley Field in October.

Fair enough. But, show me a Cub that “doesn’t deserve” to be in the All-Star Game, and I’ll show you Derrek Lee, Ryan Theriot or Mark DeRosa.
