There were, it appears, 30 total ballots cast; 27 of those ranked Jim Tracy in the top three. I was one of the three holdouts (and I believe that Vlad, who I put in charge of Bucs Dugout's other ballot, was one of the others). Full Article at Bucs Dugout

We hated to give him up. Every day, he showed you a plus skill The Rockies did something Monday night they hadn't done all season since Jim Tracy became their manager. They lost back-to-back home games by one run. ... That is not a current event
We were a strike away from making a trip to Philadelphia
I can see what these guys have done ... Their backs have been against the wall all year. It's an incredible story, to come down the stretch and get themselves in the playoffs. And [manager] Jim Tracy, he's definitely the backbone of this team. And these guys are all homegrown. They've come up together t...
Carlos Gonzalez has emerged and in my opinion has a chance to be a star, a major league player that's a star in the industry ... Dexter Fowler, (he's) another guy. …We just have so many young players, when you have a foundation like that to build from, that's definitely a major step in the right directi...
Jim Tracy had better and healthier players, and there’s just no doubt about it that they’re having better seasons. Simply put, Troy Tulowitzki this year is much better than Stephen Drew, and their outfield combination of Dexter Fowler and Carlos Gonzalez is better than Eric Byrnes/Conor Jackson/Chris Yo...
We're very disappointed ... We were a strike away from making a trip to Philadelphia, and who knows where from there, if we would have been fortunate enough to get through Game 5. We got beat by the defending world champions, and they did it in a fashion that, in my opinion, strongly suggests why they a...
I mean, sometimes it works, right? ... I know baseball and football are totally different, but they fired in Colorado a manager and they bring in Jim Tracy, look what they did.
We're very disappointed ... We were a strike away from making a trip to Philadelphia and who knows from there. But we got beat by the defending world champions in a fashion that shows why they are the defending world champions. They were down to one strike and they scored three runs to beat us.
I told (manager) Jim Tracy the other day to just give me 20 minutes notice and I'll be ready
We were a strike away from getting to Philadelphia, and who knows where from there ... They're the defending world champions. The way they did it suggests why they're the defending world champions. They were down to one strike and scored three runs.
It's a great team. That's why I chose to come here ... Not only the guys, but the way they played the game, and Jim Tracy was a huge reason. It's been incredible. It's been a lot of fun. They've welcomed me with open arms and it's been great.
Seth Smith took some good swings off of Cliff Lee when we faced him in the regular season ... We give Smitty a shot at it today and give him four at-bats and see what happens. You move Carlos over to right field and you're still good defensively.
I remember the last time I pitched here, I gave up the grand slam ... I made Frankie [Morales] look bad. I made Jim Tracy look bad. I made the whole team look bad because I gave up the homer. Tonight, I was able to pick up the whole team.
But most of the time Rockies manager Jim Tracy thinks the chilly weather favors the starting pitchers, Philly lefty J.A. Happ and Jason Hammel of Colorado. Hitting in very, very cold weather, that's not the easiest thing in the world to do ... In this type of weather, it makes it a little more difficult...
You have to give him an awful lot of credit for that none of us here can understand what might be going through one's mind and where it would go from there once you do get resolution to it is losing his son for a period of time via kidnappers in Venezuela
If it's a day where ... it's not conducive for either team to be playing baseball, it's going to jeopardize our fans from the standpoint of being treated to the type of baseball that has been played thus far in the first two games of the series in Philadelphia
The four years I sat there with Felipe, I watched this guy win a Cy Young Award with 17 wins ... He has know-how and he has moxie. From the standpoint of power, you don't have to sit here and feel like he is going to overwhelm you with his fastball. To sit here and say he's a big-time strikeout pitcher,...
Obviously we've been in this position before, trust me, more than once, where obviously (today) is a pretty important game because you certainly wouldn't be looking forward to going back to Denver down two games ...

I think you tip your cap to (Lee) ... It's a five-game series, and obviously we've been in this position before ... where obviously (Thursday) is a pretty important game because you certainly wouldn't be looking forward to going back to Denver down two games.

Oh, they're ready to start ... When you have the type of talent that Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler possess, you're looking at special things happening on a day-in, day-out basis for years to come. They're both five-tool players. Not many teams can boast about that.
When I saw the start last Thursday against the Milwaukee Brewers, it was the Aaron Cook that we have --- as the Rockies have grown accustomed to seeing when he's on his game in that manner ... Tremendous sinker, great competitor.
The only way these guys should feel about themselves is terrific ... To come from 15 1/2 games back [on June 3] to playing in the postseason when no one thought they'd be playing in the postseason, they should feel terrific. They are very deserving. They are one of eight clubs left with a chance to win ...
