Go Get Bobby V

Centerfield Sep 24 2010 12:45 PM

The end of the season is near. We have a small window to create a grassroots movement to bring back Bobby V. Somehow we have to get this message out there. I'm open to ideas.

Hold a charity banquet, invite him to speak, invite the Wilpons.

If they don't go get Bobby, It's not a $$ issue that's stopping them, right? Cause if they were willing to go for Torre then they were willing to spend the money. During all that Torre talk I heard nothing from the Mets indicating that they were not interested in him.

Or that they were. We have seen nothing that indicates they were willing to pay Joe Torre.

Thread title = Good name for midseason replacement series ABC might have tried airing after Starsky & Hutch.

I'd hardly conclude that they're interested in him because his names's been floated and they haven't stooped to deny interest. Netiher have they denied interest in Wally Backman, Bob Melvin, or Winona Ryder.

Co-starring John Schuck and Dick Van Patten, with special guest star Robert Hegyes.

Wynona Ryder could teach the team how to steal bases.

Btw does anybody know off-hand the longest serving MLB manager without a Division title?

Benjamin Grimm Sep 26 2010 03:50 PM Re: Go Get Bobby V

Connie Mack never won a division title.

Kong76 Sep 26 2010 04:02 PM Re: Go Get Bobby V

Don't the Mets lead the league in stolen bases even though they suck in most other areas of O? I don't get ^^^

Jim Leyland, DET, 5 seasons Bruce Bochy, SF, 4 seasons Bud Black, SD, 4 seasons John Russell, PIT, 3 seasons Dusty Baker, CIN, 3 seasons Jerry Manuel, NYM, 2.5 seasons Obviously Baker and either Bochy or Black is coming off this list very shortly.

HahnSolo Sep 27 2010 08:56 AM Re: Go Get Bobby V

I assume he meant without ever winning a division title. Leyland, Bochy, and Dusty all have done so.
