Tony La Russa has selected Matt Cain to start the All-Star Game over R.A. Dickey. Given Dickey's better numbers, is this fair?

• oleosmirf: "Very sad. Just a real shame that he's not rewarded for his miracle first-half. Dickey is likely never to be back here and Cain has been here and will continue to be for years."
• mnp2957: "Pure and simple....Cain is the right choice. Starting an All-Star game is a real honor that should be earned over time."
• tpush67: "If Dickey is such a great story and deserves to start, why aren't more Mets fans out there supporting their team?"
• MYMetsies_19: "So when Dickey comes in the game...will La Russa pull Posey? Doubt it."
• tim64rusty: "there is no way Cain should start ahead of Dickey.Dickey has been the most dominant pitcher in baseball this year."
• pjart: "Wright not starting. Dickey not starting. A double joke. As a Mets fan, why am I watching this game? Oh, wait, I'm not."
