Bud Black did more with less.... EVERYBODY had the padres at the cellar since last season. Them being in first place (in the NL) for so long in it of itself is MoY caliber.
in the last months the team was plagued with injuries... especially pitchers. Our bread/butter.
I can't believe they would give anybody manager of the year when he let the team fall apart and miss the playoffs in the last month. That is not a good leader

ORLANDO, Fla. -- Commissioner Bud Selig's plan to expand baseball's playoffs to 10 teams gained a sense of inevitability after little to no opposition emerged during meetings this week with owners and general managers.
Selig said his special 14-man committee will discuss adding two wild-card teams when it meets Dec. 7 during the winter meetings in nearby Lake Buena Vista.
"We will move ahead, and move ahead pretty quickly," Selig said Thursday after three days of meetings concluded.
A change would have to be approved by owners, who next meet Jan. 12-13 in Paradise Valley, Ariz., and by the players' association, which has said it is open to the extra round. The additional games would also have to be sold to baseball's national television partners and slotted into a crowded schedule that has already pushed the World Series into November in the past two years.
Because baseball's labor contract runs to December 2011, the extra round of playoffs is not likely to start until 2012.
I have heard multiple ways of them doing it and the one I liked was they would cut down the regular season a few games make a series where two wild card teams in each league play each other in a three game series. That way it messes with pitching for the wild card team and gives a clear advantage ( or reward) to the teams that win their division.
Anyway I like the idea of adding a couple more teams as long as they cut down the regular season and not add to how long it goes as it is
