great job joe.
to bad you had to choose baseball over the future of your family.
i guess it was a price you were willing to pay to get where you are now.
i pray at some point in your life God points out the error of what you put before your family.
too bad, congradulations????

That's not the official Manager of the Year from MLB. Who care what Sporting News thinks.

Good Job Joe! There couldn't have been anyone even close. Thanks for sticking with the club.

Well deserved. Great job Joe! It will be even more deserved when he manages this team past the Phillies.
