Seriously? Bobby Valentine and the Mets Again?!
Are we actively trying to sabotage this franchise? Because if so, brilliant work! The rumor mill is churning out delightful whispers of Bobby Valentine potentially returning to Citi Field in some advisory capacity. Let that sink in for a moment. Bobby Valentine. The man who orchestrated one of the most spectacularly disastrous seasons in baseball history – and I use “orchestrated” loosely because he seemed more bewildered than in control – is being considered for a leadership role?
Honestly, my expectations were already subterranean, but this digs deeper. Its like they’re deliberately searching for ways to generate clickbait headlines based solely on cringe-inducing nostalgia. Remember that time the Mets were awful? Lets bring back the guy who helped make it happen! Marketing genius, truly.
I understand the need for fresh perspectives, but importing a figure synonymous with failure feels less like innovation and more like a self-inflicted wound. Are we supposed to believe that ten years of distance have somehow imbued him with sage baseball wisdom? Did he finally crack the code to pitching while perfecting his sushi restaurant management skills?
This isn’t just disappointing; its insulting. Its an insult to the loyal fans who deserve better than a rehash of past blunders. Let’s hope this is just a particularly cruel prank, because the alternative is simply too painful to contemplate.
