Someone explain something to me...

This is why the NL keeps losing. Seriously, the NL fields the worst starters year after year. The AL puts out maybe 1 or 2 bad starters, but the fans always give the NL at least 4 maybe 5 players that have no business being in the starting lineup.

Also to answer your question it is the voting drives.

Want Marlins tickets? Vote 200 times for All-Stars


MIAMI (AP)—Free tickets, autographed baseballs, even access to a 12-person suite, the Florida Marlins will happily give any of them away to fans.

Just help send the Marlins to the All-Star Game.

The Marlins have unveiled a slew of promotions designed to coerce fans into becoming ballot-stuffers for the next few weeks, all with hopes that one of baseball’s poorest-drawing teams can find a way to overcome the fact that there’s a lot more voters punching cards in other stadiums around the National League.

“Other teams do this,” said Sean Flynn, the Marlins’ vice president of marketing. “We’re not the only team.”

See you can get free tickets and autograph baseballs for filling out ballots for the Marlins.
