DUSTIN TO START FOR AL ALL STARS!
Excerpts from "Red Sox sending six to St. Louis" by Ian Browne of MLB.com:
Second baseman Dustin Pedroia and left fielder Jason Bay were both voted in as starters by the fans, and ace Josh Beckett and closer Jonathan Papelbon were voted in by the players. First baseman Kevin Youkilis was another selection by [AL manager Joe] Maddon.
Pedroia, coming off his Most Valuable Player season of 2008, is a sparkplug for the Red Sox.
Pedroia is hitting .290 with 59 runs, 93 hits, 24 doubles and a .393 on-base percentage. He has also played Gold Glove-caliber defense while stealing 14 bases.

Who cares?
I would guess the millions of fans who voted for him.
Well I doubt many of those millions of fans were from dumpy ol' Woodland. I'm sorry, but Dustin turned his back on this community which is his right, as it is my right to say I hope Dustin and his brother Brett both leave our town - spoiled, ungrateful and un-appreciative.
7:08, Dustin is not the only one living in Woodland that shares his opinion. If all of us who agree with Dustin were to just leave town then what would we have?
Empty homes and more empty storefronts, that's what.
Dustin's opinion should be a wake up call to those of us who want a less dumpy place to live and raise our families.
Why do we have more gang members than West Sac., Davis and even Yolo County? Why are there so many good businesses leaving town and the junky ones still remain?
Where's the professionalism? Where's the FUN?
Woodland needs to improve its image from the TOP. How do we transform Woodland into a place to WANT to be from? Why do you think the entire town leaves every little holiday? Because there is NOTHING to keep people here.
Look, Dustin made some poorly chosen remarks. Who of us has not? His opinion should be looked at separately from his sports abilities. Think of how many actors, athletes, or singing artists have made fools of themselves with substance abuse, physical abuse, and yes verbal slip-ups along their careers.
