I'm okay with Eric Wedge winning the Manager of the Year award. He's very deserving, taking a good team to the ALCS. Even as a Sox fan, I'm okay with Sabathia winning the Cy Young award too because I look at the stats and realize that the better pitcher during the regular season won the award.

I don't even mind that Mike Scoscia got more votes than Francona because he had to deal with a lot of injuries and still managed to win his division (though it helped that the Mariners blew it in the second half.)

My issue is that Joe Torre received more votes than Terry Francona for Manager of the Year. People can say that there's no reason to get upset since there are two other guys who received more votes than Francona too, but it just doesn't make sense to me. The Yankees flat out su**ed in the first half. A manager shouldn't get manager of the year votes for being a good manager for half a season. The Red Sox consistently stayed at the top of the division all year and yet Francona gets no respect from the MOY voters.

I'll end this by saying that I don't hate Joe Torre. In fact I think fairly highly of him. I just don't think he deserved the votes he received this year for MOY.
