Best Of The SB Nation Network: May 26, 2010

We have 254 fantastic sports blogs in SB Nation, so in case you didn’t have a chance to read them all today we’ve collected the best stuff right here. Get sports smart in no time fast!

Football

Baseball

- Anyone who has watched the Mets this season (or last season, or half of the previous season) knows that manager Jerry Manuel can be a little, um, creative with his in-game decision making. Amazin’ Avenue has a flow chart that finally explains what Manuel is thinking.

- Josh Willingham has become a very patient and selective hitter this season. Federal Baseball digs into the stats in an effort to uncover an explanation for the turnaround.

- The MLB All-Star Game used to be the mid-summer classic. Now, even though the winner’s league gets home field advantage in the World Series, nobody really cares about it and MLB doesn’t seem inclined to do anything about that. The Good Phight takes up the challenge to get the All-Star Game fixed.

Basketball
