Links: Sports Night, Players Vote Mess

Mets Walk-Offs and Other Minutiae asks which Sports Night character he resembled at the time of Fernando Tatis‘ go-ahead, two-run homerun during yesterday’s game.

Robby O’Daniel of Hot Foot takes a look at the confusing timeline of when the player’s ballots for this year’s All Star Game were distrubuted.

Over at the Star-Ledger, Dan Graziano thinks it’s time to relieve the player’s of their voting duties for the All Star team reserves, writing…

“The rosters for next Tuesday’s All-Star Game came out yesterday, and they were a total mess. Players who don’t belong in the game are going. Players who do belong in the game are staying home. And the culprit in almost every case was a player ballot fraught with ignorance, jealousy, personal grudges and outright neglect.”

Graziano also points out that theses reasons are also why writers vote for MVP awards and the Hall of Fame.
