Wash getting 2nd for Manager of the Year is an absolute screw job.

In fairness, some of the 5 runner-up finishes that Gardenhire received were screw jobs as well. Both were deserving...

Sure. But Wash was more deserving, IMO. No disrespect to Gardenhire.

gotta disagree. Gardenhire lost his top flight closer before the year began, and Morneau too, and they still won 95 games...and they don't really have much of a pitching staff either.

Apologies folks. I wasn't keeping in mind that the awards are voted on at season's end. I always forget that, since in other instances where that's the case (e.g., NBA MVP), the award is given out well before the championship is decided.

Based on regular-season results, I'm more than fine with Gardenhire. I will say I don't think Francona was in the top three, though. It's Gardenhire, Maddon, Wash, then everyone else.
