MANAGERS OF THE YEAR ARE...

The Managers of the Year were announced and they were good picks, although, I would have loved to have seen Joe Girardi be in the running.  Oh well.

Clint Hurdle won in the National League.  He led his Pittsburgh Pirates to a record of 94-68 and got them into the playoffs.

In the American League, it was Terry Francona of the Cleveland Indians.  Yes, he was once the manager of the Boston Red Sox, but the guy is so damn  likable, I'm happy for him.  Seriously, you have to admire this guy!

And before you get on my back for liking a former Red Sox guy, don't forget Don Zimmer used to manage the Red Sox too and we all love him, you know what I mean?

Francona's a smart baseball guy and congrats to him. In fact, congrats for both he and Clint... great job this season.
