Why Voting is a Joke
All awards and polls in sports (pro and college are a complete joke). Scott Eyre is a decent middle reliever. He was 2-2 with a 2.62 ERA and 0 saves for the Giants last year. Some jerkoff put him 10th place on his NL MVP (not Cy Young) ballot. This voter should have his privileges revoked. And it's amazing how often this happens. I have seen Hall of Fame votes go to Jim Deshaies, Pete Incaviglia and Mike Jorgensen. Harley never heard of any of these guys. No writer, coach or player should ever be allowed to vote on anything. There should be a panel of like 5 smart guys who are not allowed to befriend athletes who decide everything in sports (MVPs, Rookies of the Year, Heisman Trophies and college football and basketball rankings).
I know this is old news, but I hadn't heard about so I assume many other hadn't either.
ReplyDeleteI heard about it. It is ridiculous that a middle reliever gets a vote for CY Young or a Utility guy gets a vote for MVP. It should work just like the Heisman does so nobody gets screwed.
