@spivy08 - No doubt the Rays are in it for the long haul. Which is even worse news for the Jays and O's who have enough trouble with the Yanks and Sox               

There's no reason why madden can't do it again next year, returning almost everybody, most in their prime and now with playoff experience under their               

@uofmfan- I think he proved he's still got something in the tank after coming back last year. Last time he left when the GM did, common theme in sport               

@LacrosseBoss- You really think Gaston can do it again??? There's a reason they got rid of him the first time!               

@spivy08- No surprise. Only someone great can take a bunch of no-names to the World Series. Cito Gaston for 2009 Manager of the Year               

@spivy08- Maddon deserved to be the coach of the year. If they gave it to anyone else they should be kicked in the face repeatedly with metal cleats!               

As expected, Joe Madden is the AL Coach of the Year               

Thank you Phillies for ensuring that the rest of America won't have to deal with those ridiculous cowbells until next postseason!               

@milehighsalute-Absolutely!! They are a likable bunch as well! Joe Maddon is from PA, I could be a half a Rays fan from now on!!               

@hakkon218 - I have to agree. Even though I am a Rockies fan, the Rays are set up a lot better to continue to future years
