~~Did~~ Giants Fans Rig the Online All Star Vote for Barry Bonds?

Boy, I'm really coming across as a Barry Bonds hater today. Oh right, I am.

Barry Bonds making up 120,000 votes in a matter of days smelled fishy a week ago, and today smells even worse. Bonds isn't this popular. I considered the possibility of the MLB skewing the results, but the more likely answer comes from the tech savvy Bay Area fans.

Conspiracy theorists rejoice. Great find by Larry Brown Sports. From the Giantsboard.com comes these instruction for Giants fans to get the most from their voting efforts.

Do believe Bonds was honestly voted into the All Star Game? Is there anything to this evidence from a Giants message board?

Update: Fans admit fraud in accomplishing All Star feat. From Inside the Bay Area comes the sad truth: "I'm talking, of course, about the slugger's Floyd Landis-type rally to earn a starting spot in the All-Star Game. It's now clear Giants fans gave Bonds a performance-enhancing injection in the voting. One group from San Jose claims to have electronically hand-delivered Bonds 600,000 deadline-beating votes. Another computer whiz says he personally added 200,000 to the Giant's total."

No wonder SF fans love him so much...he's just one of the boys, to them.

My hatred is beginning to spread even more. I used to understand a little bit how they could still like the guy. Sure he cheated, but he cheated for THEM. But this...this is just taking it way too far.

The city of San Francisco is an embarrassment. I hope they screw up the All Star game somehow. That would be great. I wish them nothing but the worst.

The MLB site put all the same votes in for you unless you wanted to change it. It sounds like they just made everyone more aware they could vote 25 times.

Actually, it bypassed the 25 votes system, and allowed them to vote over and over again. They had the automated voting program running all day, and it enabled them to cast hundreds (or maybe thousands) of votes each in a very short period of time.

Ah, than that is as inflated as Bonds hat size! I can't wait until Bonds just finally goes away.
