Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy has been added to the American League All-Star team as a replacement for Los Angeles Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson, who is out with a blister on the middle finger of his left hand. Wilson, 9-5 with a 2.43 ERA, pitched in last season's All-Star Game when he was with the Texas Rangers. Wilson signed a five-year, $77.5 million deal with the Angels last December. He has had trouble with broken fingernails and blisters all season. Peavy is 7-5 with a 2.85 ERA. He finished second to the Rangers' Yu Darvish for a spot in the All-Star Game in the fans' online Final Vote last week.

Told ya all that All-Star campaigning crap was a waste of time. I told you that Chicago White Sox and their fans’ mindless jingoism and lemming behavior to vote Jake Peavy into the Midsummer classic was for naught- not because he finished second in the voting, but because I knew HE WOULD GET THERE ANYWAY.
