AL: obviously Joe Maddon
NL: Lou Piniella...for managing a team into the playoffs for two straight years, then getting swept.
These tings really need to chosen before the playoffs. Baffles me that the world series winning manager DID NOT WIN.

Does this needs it's own thread?

Whatever. You would THINK that leading a team to the WORLD SERIES would earn the manager of that team the award. We know that Charlie deserves it, that's
all that matters.

I think it's BULLSHIT that Piniella got it. The Cubs were expected to do well. I'm not even taking into consideration anything with the Playoffs, but
the Cubs were expected to be a good team all year long, no shock there.
I know everyone is going to call me a homer, but Fredi Gonzalez deserved NL MoY. Everyone thought the Marlins were going to be at the bottom of our division, and many predicted we would lose 100 games. We were #1 for 2 solid months, even after we fell out of the top spot we were right in the thick of the playoff race until 4 days before the season ended, and we ended 7 games over .500 (would have been 8 if we hadn't had that last game vs. the nats canceled). |

^She's right, the voting started way before the postseason. I do have to say I voted for Joe Maddon. Hands down he deserved this

Joe Maddon definetely deserved the AL. I think Gardenhire was pretty close too. I have no idea how Ozzie got 5th..but whatever, people will hate him no matter
what.

Oh and I'm biased but year after year the Cubs (well, their fans) prove to be a disgrace to major league baseball. |
