The Mets Police: Another Call To Bring Back Bobby Valentine To The New York Mets (Ya Gotta Believe)

Another Call To Bring Back Bobby Valentine To The New York Mets (Ya Gotta Believe)

Over at Ya Gotta Believe Eddie D'Anna has an open letter to Fred, calling for the return of Bobby Valentine.

We wrote a month ago that part of the 2010 marketing plan will need to be distraction. While V is not a favorite of mine (I don't like finishing second), I think he's a good choice for this offseason. They can't try to sell us on "everyone is healthy, really" and head into 2010 with Murphy/Castillo/Reyes/Wright/Someone/Beltran/Francoeur/Santos and Santana and Nobody.

The News also has 2010 on their minds today.

Adding Valentine to the front office isn't a bad idea. He'd be a huge upgrade over Minaya, but since that's not going to happen, he could at least be a good addition. Give him Bernazard's job and let him oversee the minor league system. That'd be perfect. Putting him in the dugout won't accomplish much unless one actually enjoys losing to the Phillies and stumbling through September.

I still love how everyone focuses on the '99-2000 outfield while totally ignoring the rest of the starting lineup in order to say Valentine "did more with less." 3 average/role players SURROUNDED by All-Stars does not a weak roster make. If one wants to play that game, Randolph won a division title with Jose Valentin and Xavier Nady in the everyday lineup, too. Where's the groundswell of support to bring him back?

If You're Visiting For The First Time

If you are visiting The Mets Police for the first time, welcome.

This blog aims to be a little different. We're less likely to complain about a pitching change than we are likely to complain about what the pitcher was wearing.

We're about Mets history and tradition. We'd like to see a Seaver statue at Citi Field. We'd like the black uniforms to go away. We'd like the team to always treat the fans with respect.

We're just regular old Mets fans like you who have migrated from the uppers to the Promenade where we were saddened when we found plexiglass. Finally, for all our complaining we just want the franchise to win the World Series (while nicely dressed).

The site is updated several times a day, usually morning, noon, and night (cliche but true) with other items as they come in.

Mets Police in no way claims to be news nor accurate, including anything to which we link. It's just a blog. Read the blog and/or take our advice at your own risk.

We strongly encourage everyone to support the New York Mets and their business partners, just don't wear a black jersey while doing so.

Welcome!
