Manager of the Year

On Tuesday Pat Murphy beame he first Brewers manager to be named Manager of the Year. 

The choice spawned a lot of online whining from Mets fans, who believed that Carlos Mendoza - who finished third in the voting - should have gotten the honor, in large part becaue the Mets eked by the Brewers in the post-season. 

A - It's a regular season award

B - Murphy took over a team that was picked to finish 4th in the NL Central, and instead won the division by the largest margin in baseball. 

C - Menoza had about $200 million more in payroll on the field for him

In other words, those Mets fans are full of it.

Congratsulations Pat! 

An Honor(s) for the Crew

Best defense in the National League. A well deserved honor for an outstanding year in the field. 

And . . .

Officially the best defensive player in the National League. 

Congratulations Brice!

The Dodgers Win The World Series

The Yankees lost the World Series in five games,  and I can't even be mad about it. The Dodgers just played like the better team. They dominated most of the way, and even when they didn't, they capitalized on Yankee mistakes and came roaring back.

So,  for 2024 only,  congratulations to the Dodgers!
