I wish Matsui was listed as an outfielder instead of DH, because then he'd be right up there fighting for one of the final two spots. So as of now it's 5 Red Sox, 2 Yankees and Vlad and Ichiro.

I'll be honest, 5 Red Sox starting the All Star Game at Yankee Stadium bothers me. Come on Yankees fans, start voting.

Well look at the bright side - David Ortiz is actually getting in as a DH and not a first baseman like he did last year.

LOL That's true.
