The first batch of All-Star Game voting results were revealed for the National League Tuesday, and the results don't show much love for the Marlins. Shortstop Hanley Ramirez, a two-time All-Star, was the only Marlin to rank in the top five in voting according to their position.
Dan Uggla, Jorge Cantu and Cody Ross, who are all doing considerably well at their respective positions were nowhere on the list. Here it is compliments of MLB.com

Why would any of this be a surprise to anyone. There aren't any baseball fans in Florida. Unless, you count all the stinkin' mets, yankees and phillies fans.
