Manager of the Year

No surprise in the Manager of the Year awards: It's Joe Maddon in the AL and Lou Piniella in the NL. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor -- even if there is utter plausibility -- that Danny Murtaugh came in second in the NL. ...
Managers of the Year: Piniella, Maddon
Batter's Box Interactive Magazine —
No real surprises here. Well, maybe that Maddon wasn't unanimous, but still ... Oh, and that Matt Holliday trade finally happened, for real this time. Thoughts, comments, punditry, witticisms? ...

The Bad News Bloggers —
Joe Maddon and Sweet Potato Lou took the Manager of the Year Awards for each league. Some Phillies fans are up in arms over the travesty that is Uncle Charlie not getting his fair due. Not this guy though and there's a few reasons: The voting takes place before the playoffs. For that matter, even the final week of the season (weekend games, when quite a few teams clinched) Charlie did practically what was expected; win 90 games and make the playoffs. It wasn't surprising. It's not like he had the best record in baseball ...
