I was emailing with a friend and he just pushed me over the edge.
Get Bobby Valentine in the dugout. Â Tonight.
Get Ike Davis in the dugout as soon as the “save a year on arbitration” day passes whether it is today or tomorrow.
Here’s what I see coming: Â 2 more months of who cares baseball and then the Bob Melvin era. Â You can’t sell any of that. Â Not in this town in 2010.
I personally don’t think Bobby is as good as others do, but he sure is exciting.
Bobby will win over the Piazza generation and keep the Mets in conversations in the sports sections and on WFAN.
The Mets can’t let there be another lost summer.
I read the same denial quote from Bobby that you did. Â He had to say something like that. Â What’s he going to say, “Sure, fire Jerry I’d love the job!” Â Look what happened to Gary Carter when he said something similar during the Willie Watch.
I don’t know if Bobby brings a ring with him or not (and his resume suggests not) but right here on April 19th if I’m the Mets and have a business model that includes turnstile and TV ratings – I’m holding a press conference asap.
