"Bran-Torino" is now a joy ride.

Tigers third baseman Brandon Inge and Phillies center fielder Shane Victorino are your choices in the dramatic 2009 All-Star Game Sprint Final Vote, comeback survivors of the closest overall balloting in the history of a four-day event that decided the 33rd and final roster spots for the 80th All-Star Game on July 14 at Busch Stadium.

Fans smashed MLB.com Final Vote records and ultimately they decided on the two first-time All-Stars whose respective clubs forged a voting alliance after seeing Inge and Victorino in second place on the second day. The Tigers and Phillies called it "Bran-Torino" and those two words would become campaign fixtures.

So The Small Men still have no fielder for the All-Star Game. Pitiful.

9. Awwwwwww. Poor baby.

Again, you and Upton were all for voting over and over. Well, others did the same, and your hero didn't measure up when the tally was done. And in typical Republican fashion, the rules are ok when you think they help you, but as soon as they don't it must be a conspiracy.

You guys make Ann Coulter look relevant.

10. And I'm sure you think Bush won in 2000 and 2004

[madinmaryland]

11. Considering you were working for the election of Bush...
