Derrek Lee for President

You have to vote him into the All-Star game. You just have to. There isn't much time. Online balloting ends tomorrow at midnight. Please, people. I beg of you.

Vote for him. Vote for Derek Lee to start first-base at this year's All-Star game.

The dude is vying to be the first player since Carl Yastrzemski to get the triple crown and the first player since Ted Williams to hit .400.

So vote for him.

The folks over at MLB allow you to vote up to 25 times. With my modest influence over the internet, I'm sure my message of love can reach out to about 100 people. At 2500 total votes, that's roughly 4 percent of the 60,000 votes we need to make up for. Every little bit counts, people.

Listen. I don't ever ask favors from you guys, do I? I pump out blog entry after entry, entertaining you guys time and again. At a pro bono rate, I provide incredible reading material for those of you being sneaky at your cubicles at work or for all of you bored housewives. But now, sincerely, now I need your help. So vote for Derrek Lee, NOT Albert Pujols.

Here's a joke: what do homosexuals and St. Louis Cardinals fans have in common? They both like "poo holes."

So vote for Derrek Lee.
