Tim Sullivan of the San Diego Union Tribune isn't mincing words about Chris Young's omission from the NL All-Star team.

Fellow Padres starting pitcher Jake Peavy is out stumping for Chris Young on the "campaign trail."

Heck, even fellow Final Vote finalist Carlos Zambrano had the following to say:

"The only thing I'm surprised at is that Chris Young wasn't on the team. He deserves to go, and he's doing good this year. I think, honestly, he's the one that deserves to go."

Will Venable was 3-4 with a run scored on Monday night, but the San Antonio Missions fell 4-3 to Wichita.

6-5 guard Bret Marfurt from Batavia, IL says he has interest from Princeton, among several Ivy schools.

For the second straight year, Chris Young needs your vote to make this year's Major League Baseball All-Star team. While Chris Young was not named by manager Tony La Russa as one of the first 31 members of the 2007 National League All-Star Team (despite again having better numbers across the board than other starting pitchers selected), he was named one of five finalists for the 2007 NL Final Vote.

Since 2002 fans at mlb.com have decided the final member of each league's roster through Final Vote. Young is up against four other pitchers for the 32nd slot on the senior circuit roster.

You can vote for Chris Young via text message or Internet. You can vote from right now until 6:00 pm ET on Thursday.

There appears to be no limit on how many times you can vote. Why vote just once?

Despite statistics that paint a significantly different picture, former Princeton basketball center and San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Young was not named to the 2007 National League All-Star team this evening.

Young is in the top three in the National League in nearly every important pitching statistic:

1st in Hits Per Nine Innings (6.42).

1st in Opponent Batting Average (.197).

2nd in Walks/Hits Per Innings Pitched (1.09).

2nd in Slugging (.280).

2nd in On-Base Against (.277).

3rd in ERA (2.14).

His numbers as a starting pitcher are stronger than those of All-Star selections Cole Hamels and John Smoltz. Compare them yourself, then shake your head.
