Managers of the Year Just Announced

[MFS62]

AL- Guillen
NL - Cox

No surprises.
No disagreement here. Considering what Cox had to work with - an injury depleted team - he did a masterful job.

WWSB should get a raise for that point,I thought Garner should have won...

[MFS62]

Yes, Willie got a vote.

This just in: That voter is now under a Doctor's care and is being heavily sedated.

We fervently hope that by next year, the voter will be well enough to actually watch a Mets game that Willie manages.

also getting votes are ex-mets Torre and John Gibbons.

'Irish, the reason Gar didn't win was that the vote took place in September. At that time, no one knew that the 15-30 team would play in the post-season, much less become the NL champion.

I guess that's noting in the "Rico Brogna/ EX Mets thread.
Will you do the honors?

Bochy is also an exie.

This is Cox's third award. Even more of an achievement is that it's his second consecutive year wining it. I believe that's unprecedented.. It's really difficult for your team to have expectations low enough to exceed them (and a team exceeding expectations is pretty much the universal standard for the MoY Award) two years in a row.
