PrintYou're still casting your All-Star votes for Brandon Inge, right? We know typing out those validation codes can wear down those fingers and wrists. But rub on some Icy Hot, do your proper stretches, make sure you're getting your proper combination of protein and carbohydrates, fuel up with some caffeine, and do whatever else you need to do to stay in the game. Because Inge needs you.
Here's your ballot, people. You know what to do.
Inge briefly had the lead in Final Vote polling on Monday night, before Ian Kinsler overtook him again. So a strong push from Tiger Town really could make a huge difference. Dig down, people! We can do this!
In between votes, we also encourage you to check out the posters and banners made by SabreRoseTiger and Samara. (Good at baseball!)

as if you needed more incentive
I have it on good authority that Kinsler punches puppies and has made sexual advances towards your grandmother. A vote for Inge is a vote for common decency

MLB certainly wouldn't endorse this.
But I use ghost mouse to vote. All I have to do is type in the codes, and the mouse moves and clicks by itself.
Looks like the Phillies fans are voting for inge
In exchange for Victorino votes. I looked at their site earlier and they had not teamed up with any other SB team. It looks like on Tigers .com they have agreed to mutually help each other.
Vote Inge Vote Victorino!!
Anyone got access to the Phillies site??
Ian can you get the Phillies to post this on the top of their page and we do the same??
I am like the Energizer Bunny
I just keep voting and voting and voting.
Welcome to Detroit>>Where the weak are killed and eaten.
Do you think having a state with a high unemployment rate is helping Binge voting a lot? Because it sure is in this house.
it ends tomorrow i believe
but i’m sure they’ll drag the announcements out into primetime or something
FYI for easy very quick voting
I am sure everyone can vote just fine but I found a really good way (besides String’s good idea) that can help you get a ton of votes in a short period of time.
After you hit Submit vote and the next page comes up as vote again. Put your curser on the lower right hand corner of that “vote again” box.
After you clik the vote again box with your mouse you should be able to just type the numbers and hit “enter” without moving the curser. By putting the curser in that lower right hand corner it allows you to see all numbers all the time.
If you do this you should be able to get 20+ votes per minute
YES
This is what I’ve been doing and it works marvelously.
So in simpler terms: Enter code, hit enter, click with mouse. Repeat. It goes quite fast, as long as you don’t move your mouse from over the “vote again” area.
Thanks, yes that is a lot easier to understand
Just make sure your mouse is in the bottom right hand corner of the cote again box so you can see all the numbers
I am actually on Google Chrome
Maybe thats why it is working differently. I just switched to it this morning. Also, I dont know how but I dont have to type in the correct code either. I can just put a 1 and it accepts my vote!!!
Also...
for the love of Wieters, DO NOT CLOSE THAT WINDOW and DO NOT QUIT VOTING!!!
YOU are the choosen one!
Only 24 hours to go...
you know Texas is going to come with the quickness….we need to vote like we’ve never voted before!!!
Pretend Ian Kinsler is George W.!!
Did he though???
Did he?
Fortunately All-Stars don’t pick up electoral votes…otherwise we’d be screwed
Remember to keep voting Bran-Torino too
If the Phils have been helping us, time to help them back. He’s in second.
On "The Good Phight":http://www.thegoodphight.com/
I don’t see anywhere that they are supporting Inge in exchange for the Flyin’ Hawaiian. Should we mention this supposed vote trade on their site???
it's on both tigers.com and phillies.com
hasn’t made it to the sb sites yet, although it would be nice if it did
It's on the team's official site
And I think there’s usually a 1-day waiting period to post on other sites…
I can check though
WAIT!
Does Chrome actually count the votes then? Because I can hit vote again and then hit enter and it says thanks for voting? I could vote like 10 times a second if it actually counts…
my advice would be don't use chrome
if they start getting crooked numbers from chrome, they may throw them out. it’s also possible that it’s not registering your vote if you’re not putting the numbers in. I would use IE or firefox.
Oh my God, you're right!
Is it actually counting each one as a vote? It changes the code each time, does that mean it’s working?
Yes you can do that, it does work but....
I dont want to risk the MLB people coming back and taking votes away from Inge. I am doing it all valid. But if I miss the number by 1 I just enter it so I dont have to worry about erasing the number. Takes to much time
Also...
I would rather have Inge win without cheating. Us Tigers fans have gotten him to the top all alone. The Philly fans are just now starting to vote as of about an hour ago I think.
I think it does count it though...
I’m look at the link it creates and it shows it voting for certain players on the al and nl…
I would avoid voting with Chrome even if you are typing in the code.
I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s not working and is not counting your votes.
The fact that it's not telling you that you're entering the number wrong means something is clearly wrong.
And my first guess (that’s all it is) is that it’s not actually submitting your vote. The other option, of course, is that you’re cheating. Both of these options are bad.
Solution: Don’t use Chrome for this
Well yeah.
But if it is cheating and MLB.com hears about it, they’re going to throw out ALL chrome votes. I wouldn’t risk it.
Not to be a pain jsut wondering
How could they consider it cheating if I am entering the numbers correct 99.5% of the time??
It would actually probably be chrome's fault for not handling the code correctly.
But again, I’m just speculating. And no matter whose fault it is, they’re not going to let a ton of false votes count if it turns out that way.
FF hates this computer for whatever reason
so I will continue to use Chrome. I assume it is compatible. There is no reason why it shouldn’t be.
You know you've been working in a pharmacy for too long...
When you start getting codes that you recognize as being identical to insurance BIN numbers. Happened to me last night.

If he thinks Binge isn't the best player,
that’s all the more reason for him to vote for him. Wouldn’t he rather stack our team with less than the best? right?
just remember
that guy must think victorino is deserving
I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet
Naw
that’s dishonest /boyscout
anyways, I had been voting for Sandoval up until this point…he is a beast
I can't in good conscience
vote for the 3rd best Phillie outfielder.
And, he’s Hawaiian, and Hawaiians put pineapple on pizza.
I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet
That who I was voting for before the Victorino switch.
Because getting a Dodger in over a Giant and keeping a Ranger out is a great way of pissing off two fan bases at once!
I think Inge is the "most deserving" out of all of them by far...
He may not be the best statistically (which must be what he meant), but he deserves it the most, he’s worked harder than anyone on either list.
I think my usual work email/IMing buddy is annoyed
she asked what I was doing earlier and I just said “can’t talk voting”
KEEP VOTING GUYS!
Just because Binge is in the lead, doesn’t mean this is over. After all, all the Rangers fans are working (who needs work?)!
GOOD NEWS!
according to a dodger fan friend of mine:
“i found out my other dodger fan friends are voting Inge as well. to quote: “can you imagine if Figgins and Sandoval won? yuck”"
whatever it takes! he says he voted 25 times last night! :)
Looks like we need to start a "BYB Get Tagne a new liver campaign"
I'm so ahead of my time, my parents haven't met yet
Haha, same here
I started with the horizontal number/symbol pad and then I realized “this is taking way too damn long” and now I can type with the number pad. Yay!
YOU ALL ROCK
I cant vote at work and don’t have a computer at home. I texted my vote in a bunch last night but when Inge wins it will be because of you all
Keep it up.
just heard my brother will be at the tigs game tonight
I told him to blow kisses at greinke for me. he said, “gross.” :(
When I first heard of Greinke I thought the name was better suited to some giant troll/dragon/penguin cross breed beast that ate caravans.
Instead it is a starting pitcher that tends to kill Tigers.
The Tigers should offer two prizes.
One drawing for 100+ votes, and a second for the most votes by an individual. I imagine the latter would create more obsessed voting.
Ah..another validation key
where it was my (old) zip code but with the last two number switched around.
yay clete's in RF today!
Granderson cf, Polanco 2b, Cabrera 1b, Thames dh, Thomas rf, Inge 3b, Anderson lf, Laird c, Santiago ss, French p.
Well, time to take a break from voting
and grill some chicken…..you know how white people love their chicken!!!
