Mac did not make the All Star team, first time in his 7 yr career. Could still be an injury replacement. Chipper and Bourn made the cut for the final vote-in, make sure you vote!

I wish Mac made it but I expected him not to make it.

Cheers to Uggla and Kimbrel.

Great job to Uggla and Kimbrel, very deserved, but I wish Bourn had made it, oh well maybe this means he wont demand as much as he wouldve as an all star during FA being a Boras Client and all

Uggla didn't deserve to make the all-star team. Aaron Hill should be playing in Kansas City, Missouri next week.

But Bourn definitely deserves the nod. He should be playing instead of Jay Bruce.

As long as Chipper Jones gets one last hurrah in the mid-summer classic, I'm content as a baseball fan.

Uggla started at 2b in the All Star game, had 1 hit and 1 RBI, Chipper got a hit in his only at bat, Bourn got an at bat, Kimbrel struck out 2 in the 8th. Braves represented well in the All Star game. NL won 8-0!

Chipper also got a standing O which was very nice to see

Yup. He also became the 3rd oldest player to have a hit in an All Star game.

Chipper's helmet, bat, gloves and cleats he wore in the All Star game will be sent to the HOF.
