I wouldn’t have voted for Joe Girardi for National League manager of the year for one reason. He lost more games than he won. I don’t say this as a Mets fan — I actually would have gone with Jim Tracy and the Dodgers. I just have a problem with the argument that says: “We thought you would be truly, brutally awful, but you were only moderately bad. What a great job — let’s give you a trophy.”
