The Crane Pool Forum

Mets deal with the Cubs for RH RP Vinny Nittoli. He has had a sip of coffee with Seattle and the Phillies.

Dicomo says he can be optioned, I guess that fills the Yacabonis role.

His Nonna will be happy

"Vinny, you've been acquired by the Mets."
"What?"
"The Mets -- in New York."
"Where?"
"I just told you where."
"I'm so confused!"

This works although I would have gone with "My Reliever Vinny".

He is "well-traveled": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinny_Nittoli

　　"What?"

　　　　"What was that word?"

　　"What word?"

　　　　"Babe what?"

　　"What?

　　"Yeah Babe Root."

　　　　"Who is Babe Root?"

　　"Oh. Excyooose me, Mr. Gelbs. Babe RoooTH. It's an honor to play in the city of the great ... Bambino."

I just thought of something amusing (to me at least).

Back in the olden days, on the forum where many of us first met, there
was a chuckleheaded character who called himself Vinny Testosterone.

Decades later and statutes expired, I confess I played that role.

That was good woik by youse. That and HVAC Guy was a helluva portfolio.

They gave me a pretty long leash there, lol...

I heard from HVAC Guy recently, he's still incarcerated here for at
least ten more years. Poor bastard.

Mets All-Time Top Vinnies

1. Vince Coleman
2. Vinny Rottino

... ummm ... Vince Piazza?

There has to be more Vincents, but I can't drum one up at the present time.

My grandson is Vinnie

My grandmother was Vinnie.

Lorcan had at least four Vincent's in his class at St Theresa ( more Anthony's though)

I briefly dated a girl in the early 80's whose mom was a Vicenza. She
was a doll! Turned out her daughter was not. I should have called her
but I was young and naive and unaware of milfy action and such...

Was her last name "Robinson"?

Colavita!

I associate Vincent Piazza more with the Dodgers than Mets.

We left him off the list because he gets no respect.
