Poor Man Joe

The winners of the Manager of the Year award for both leagues were announced today, and to nobody's surprise it was Jim Leyland of Detroit and Joe Girardi, formerly of Florida, who took home the honors. Yea, you read that right, formerly of Florida. Apparently the Marlins decided that landing a 78-84 season with a team payroll under $20 million just wasn't good enough for the top tastes of player-bashing art dealer Jeffrey Loria. Yeesh.

Congratulations, Joe, here's hoping you get back on the field soon.
