Posey is starting at catcher. He plays on the same team as Cain.
Pretty simple.

This actually makes sense, you've gotta have a specific skill to catch a knuckle ball

so who's catching dickey?

It's not that big of a stretch to start Cain.
The 2 have very similar stats aside from the wins, which is more of a team stat than a pitcher stat
............GS...CG...SHO....IP......H....ER...BB...SO...W...L...P/GS...WHIP...BAA...ERA
Dickey...17.....3.......2....120.0...86...32.....26...123..12...1....98.8.....0.93.....203....2.40
M.Cain...17.....2.......2....120.1...91...35.....24...118...9...3...107.5.....0.96.....209....2.62
Plus Cain threw that perfect game. Hell, just 2 week ago, Cain's ERA was 2.27.
Dickey is a good story and all, but like it has been stated, Posey trying to catch a knuckler isnt a very good move considering what is at stake for the NL. There have been way worse "snubs" than this

no one wants to watch a 70 mpg knuckle pitcher start the all star game.

10 years from now, does anyone remember who started an ASG? The only thing remembered is whether you were on the team.

I disagree. There are what, like 12 pitchers on the team? Some who are picked because their team had to have a representative on the All-star team. Starting the All-star game is an honor that basically says you were the best in the league so far...

This is nothing compared to the injustice that was Halladay starting over fan favorite Jurrjens last year.
