It's the coach/player voting system that is the problem. "Dontrelle Willis hasn't had enough starts to be in the all-star game!" Yea, lets see now. Kerry Wood, 9-6, pretty good offense to back him up. Dontrelle Willis 9-1 (or about that), and the MARLINS backing him up.
Bonds gets in and he takes every third or fourth game off, you don't hear anyone complaining about him not playing enough.
Double standard? Of course. Flawed voting system? Damn straight.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
