You would think that Bochy deserved it more, dude won the championship with a bunch of no name players.

Bud Black deserved it more than Bochy no doubt.

Bochy was incredible, but Black did it with much less.

I really expected it to be Black and Washington. Good choices though. Gardenhire did a great job when you consider that he lost Morneau for half the season.

We wuz ROBBED!

Bochy kept this team together while chasing a Padres team that seemingly could not lose.

Black lost it when the glass slipper turned back into a pumpkin.

Bochy was far more deserving.

Crap!

Let the San Diegans commemorate their cute season with a manager of the year trophy

Black did a solid job.

Also thought Washington should have gotten it over Gardenhire, but both did a great job.
