You'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!!

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

The cursor isn't in the code box when I do it
I have to move my mouse ;_;
by Tagne13 on Jul 8, 2009 3:38 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by Kmann on Jul 8, 2009 3:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by qbdoyle1 on Jul 8, 2009 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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!!!

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???
by Kmann on Jul 8, 2009 3:49 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by rcpratt on Jul 8, 2009 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by Tagne13 on Jul 8, 2009 3:50 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
We don't really have a 1-day waiting period.
We gotta do this now then.
by Kmann on Jul 8, 2009 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I just have one question though...
why is Mat Wieters not on the ballot?
Shouldn’t that be a given?
by Tagne13 on Jul 8, 2009 3:49 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Wieters cares not for these All Star games.
He has worlds to save and resurrections to attend.

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…
by ZWC11 on Jul 8, 2009 3:50 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
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.
by rcpratt on Jul 8, 2009 3:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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?
by Kmann on Jul 8, 2009 3:52 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm not sure...
Because just refreshing the page changes the code too
by ZWC11 on Jul 8, 2009 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Hmmm, maybe I won't do that then
Might be a waste of my finger power.
by Kmann on Jul 8, 2009 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by qbdoyle1 on Jul 8, 2009 3:54 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by qbdoyle1 on Jul 8, 2009 3:56 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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…
by ZWC11 on Jul 8, 2009 3:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by rcpratt on Jul 8, 2009 3:55 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Just curious??
What is your reasoning behind thinking they wont count them??
by qbdoyle1 on Jul 8, 2009 3:57 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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
by rcpratt on Jul 8, 2009 3:59 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not cheating, actually doing it legit
But maybe I should just switch to be safe.
by qbdoyle1 on Jul 8, 2009 4:00 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by rcpratt on Jul 8, 2009 4:01 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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??
by qbdoyle1 on Jul 8, 2009 4:02 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They’re not going to have time to sort through them (if they even can) if it does turn out to be bugged.
by rcpratt on Jul 8, 2009 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It'd be their oversight anyways...
THEIR fault
by Tagne13 on Jul 8, 2009 4:04 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
by rcpratt on Jul 8, 2009 4:07 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
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.
