Valentine still around, signs say not for long

Someone please just put him out of his misery.

He's not going anywhere, at least not for the rest of this season because it wouldn't serve any purpose. If they fire him then they have to promote someone that won't have a shot at the full time job anyway and that would be wasted time. Lose him at the end of the season and just move on from there.

They do need a change and a fresh start but that should wait until next year. They're going to look at and evaluate everything in the off season and go from there.

Agree; they want to make a choice of new manager without having to find an interim for a month. What difference does it make to keep Bobby V. for another month?

I wouldn't be surprised if the breakfast meeting was to tell Bobby that he would not be retained after the season, but he'll be taken care of financially if he doesn't go off script for the rest of the season.

(3 strikes...I'm out)

All we read at the trading deadline was who was going to get Greinke, he gone, and now it is Valentine, please fire him so we don't have to hear about it anymore.

This is absolutely BULL. Valentine was never given a fair shake. You even have the MOORON Curt Schilling say that when he was a player he didn't respect some of his managers and that is the problem. How about having respect for the POSITION. Like him, Hate him, Shouldn't matter, he is the MANAGER. Players should know to respect that. Give him, his coaches, and let him start over. Tell the players that they either play the GAME or be benched. So sick of the MILLION $$$ babies. I personally would enjoy watching some of these guys get pulled and sit. Lester, Aceves, Salty, etc, you stink, your attitude stinks so sit!

There's no purpose in firing Valentine during the season. The team's not going anywhere. All you are doing is rewarding players for whining, which will make it that much harder for the next manager. Who's running the team, the second baseman or management?

When Petey retires, if he wants to go into managment this will be thrown in his face some day!

Back to the TV booth. Bro.
