Although the Gold Gloves and Silver Sluggers have been given out, baseball still has some individual hardware to distribute beginning Monday. The Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Cy Young and MVP awards for each league will be announced by MLB and the Baseball Writers Association of America (whose members vote on the honors) over the following eight days. Here’s the schedule:
Monday: AL & NL Rookie of the Year
Tuesday: AL Cy Young
Wednesday: AL & NL Manager of the Year
Thursday: NL Cy Young
Nov. 23 (next Monday): AL MVP
Nov. 24 (next Tuesday): NL MVP
We’ll have a preview post for each award in the morning before it’s announced (including predictions), then get you the winner and instant analysis as soon as it comes down.

Thats what I think
Girardi deserves to get manager of the year.
however, he will probably settle for 2009 CHAMPION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*******************
vinny-I agree- I think Girardi should get MOY, but I don’t think he’ll mind too much if he doesn’t.
I know it’s unlikely, but I hope Jeter gets MVP
Girardi would get MOY in a year where Mike Scioscia didn’t have to manage a team to recover from the death of teammate and multiple injuries to his starting rotation to begin their season, and end up playing for the AL Championship. Both did superb jobs this season. Scioscia’s job was the more obvious; Girardi’s much more subtle – remaking a bullpen and the biggest job of all, keeping his aging players healthy and rested and strong for a post-season run.
My ballot:
AL Rookie of the Year – Elvis Andrus
NL Rookie of the Year – Colby Rasmus
AL Cy Young – Zack Greinke
NL Cy Young – Tim Lincecum
AL MVP – Joe Mauer
NL MVP – Albert Pujols (in a squeaker over Chase Utley)
My predictions:
AL Rookie of the Year – Andrew Bailey
NL Rookie of the Year – JA Happ
AL Cy Young – Zack Greinke
NL Cy Young – Chris Carpenter
AL Manager of the Year – Mike Scioscia
NL Manager of the Year – Jim Tracy
AL MVP – Joe Mauer
NL MVP – Albert Pujols
classic jet loss
couldnt agree more jonathan
jets fans need to look at the postive:
- they have a WR who looks spectacular
- a running back who looks like he will be a world-beater (Shonn Greene)
- and a quaterback who will be a very good one
patience…
Who deserves it:
AL & NL Rookie of the Year – Andrew Bailey, Coughlan
AL Cy Young- Greinke
AL & NL Manager of the Year- Soscia, Tracy
NL Cy Young- Wainwright
AL MVP- Mauer
NL MVP- Pujols
i know its just tough to lose to the jaguars and give away so many games late in the game this season that they should have easily won.
that said. I will not listen to WFAN tonight. Have noticed fans in new york don’t accept losing and always have to look for a scape-goat

I found an answer – that Google thing is pretty amazing…

Erica was on the right track.
“City officials initially said demolition of the stadium would begin in 2008 and finish this year, and then a park would be built in its place. But NY1 has learned the Department of Buildings issued a permit to tear down the stadium just two weeks ago.
Officials say the delay was partly due to a months-long squabble between the city and the team over who would profit from selling seats and other memorabilia that would be removed.”

DT-
I am in fact, a genius
ROY–Andrew Bailey and Tommy Hanson
MOY–Mike Scioscia and Jim Tracy
CY–Zack Greinke and Adam Wainwright (should be Lincecum, but teh wins!!1!)
MVP–Mauer and Pujols, and I will be very upset if either race is close
The Yankees got the only (real) award that counts when they hoisted the World Championship trophy.

Off topic-
Erica, if you’re there, I have two Muppet related things:
When your DVD comes, proceed with caution when you get to the season 9 highlights. There’s a segment called “scenes from Hawaii” where they’re on the beach and Mr. Hooper in a bathing suit is not a pretty picture. LOL
And I bought myself a couple of early Christmas presents today-Christmas Eve on Sesame Street (Amazon had it really cheap) and Muppet Family Christmas (the one where they all go to Fozzie’s mom’s farm and the whole Sesame Street gang shows up along with Fraggle Rock).
******
OOOH!!!!!!
I LOVE Christmas Eve on Sesame Street. I have it on DVD. I sort of watch it every Christmas Eve. LOL
I don’t have the Muppet Family Christmas though. I saw that a few years ago again, when the Museum of Television and Radio was doing a Jim Henson exhibit. (We also watched the episode of Sesame Street when Mr. Hooper died and Big Bird didn’t understand why he couldn’t give him the picture he drew.. major tissue alert). Anyway, I was not aware that was on DVD. I need to look into that. If memory serves, that was the only time the Muppets, Sesame Street, and the Fraggles all appeared together.
How can a manager who’s team won the World Series not be “MOY”?..It’s the ultimate achievement and the manager guides them to it..

These awards are determined before the postseason
“How can a manager who’s team won the World Series not be “MOY”?..It’s the ultimate achievement and the manager guides them to it..”
all a matter of expectations. The Angels did what they did despite losing most of the staff at various points, not to mention the Adenhart tragedy. Hence why Scioscia will win it

edit: today’s loser receives a parting gift
Erica-I had to buy a used copy of Muppet Family Christmas because appearantly it’s not being distributed anymore. I had a copy on VHS but really wanted it on DVD. That’s required viewing for me at Christmas. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem do the best version of “Jingle Bell Rock” EVER!
I’m so excited to see Christmas Eve on Sesame Street again-I can’t even remember the last time I watched it.

Managing also depends a lot on the team. Personally, I always wonder a lot about this. Here’s why:
Take Dave Trembley, Orioles Manager. He has never managed a winning team. In fact, they have been horrifically bad. Does that mean he is a bad manager? If the Orioles managed to have a +.500 season despite a lack of playing talent, would that make him a great manager?
I think Manager awards are way too subjective
“How can a manager who’s team won the World Series not be “MOY”?..It’s the ultimate achievement and the manager guides them to it..”
Because the ballot’s are submitted before the playoffs start.
*ballots… I have no idea why I made that a possessive. *facepalm*

I understand. I have “Don’t Eat the Pictures” (when Sesame Street got locked in the Metropolitan Museum of Art) on VHS for that very reason. I’d kill to have it on DVD. Such a classic when Ernie and Bert do the Egyptian dance.. lol

That’s another special I haven’t seen in forever.
LOVE the Egyptian dance.
Because of the predjudged hatred for anything Yankees ,and their payroll.
Joe will most likely not get Manager of the year.I’ve heard sports host(through out the year) on different Tv and Radio shows say,”How hard is it to not win with a 200mm plus payroll?”
He should get it,but ignorance will prevail.
damon enjoy 27…think 28

agree. I’ve also heard the “well, why wouldn’t he win with the players he had, yada yada yada”. But like I said before, I have a feeling he won’t be too broken up about it if it does end up going to Scioscia.
Joe will have something that every other major league manager wishes they would have for this year, and neither ESPN nor anyone else will be able to take that away.
Joe -
A World Series win.Sweeeeeet!!
The last hour for me has been great…searched all of the NL East Champion Phillies and Let’s win the world series vids for the Phillies on youtube and gave a “thumbs down” and wrote “Go Yanks, 27th Heaven, for the boss ” on every comment…Gotta love it
Anyways…in response to all of this pre-winter meeting drama with the free agents and the trades. I think the Yanks need to make a hard push for Halladay and then sign Jason Bay and Damon.
Roation:
CC
Halladay
AJ
Pettite
Hughes/ Wang
Lineup:
Jeter SS
Damon DH
Tex 1B
Arod 3B
Bay LF
Posada C
Cano 2B
Swisher RF
Melky CF
Is it too crazy to nominate A Rod as the Comeback Player of the Year? You’d be pretty hard pressed to find anyone who came back from injury in ‘09 more spectacularly than he did.
Well, Comeback Player awards have already been issued, so yeah, it would be pretty crazy to nominate him.
new post
baseball has truely become a year round sport! Awards aren’t over till Thanksgiving than the hot stove gets burning hot. Thank god for baseball since my football teams season officially ended today. Just End The Season.
I guess one way of looking at things is to see what the “experts” expected ahead of the season…
I seem to remember a lot of people picking the Red Sux and the Rays. Everyone predicted a tight three way race in AL East. Not so much… We beat Boston by 8 wins and the Rays by 19.
A lot of things went into that, but Girardi did a lot of things right. You can say he got lucky with no injuries, but a manager makes his own luck to some extent.
Not sure he should get it, but if he doesn’t it’s kind of a fact that no Yankee manager can ever get it since he’s got too good a team to work with
