frank robinson, seriously

turk wendell · 05-24-2008, 07:10 PM

i havent posted here in a while but wanted get the ol' mofo opinion on this. i dont want to see willie fired yet but if he does i think frank robinson would be a great replacement. was always a hard, tough and great player and as a manager he doesnt take any BS from his players. robinson is the type that will chew out a player for not hustling and gets max results from his players. look at what he did with that 2005 nats team the first half of the year in 05 when it was a complete mess with no owner or any talent. i know the guy is old but it wouldnt be a long term deal, just a replacement for the time being.

I think that's a very good thought as an interim manager.

turk wendell · 05-24-2008, 07:14 PM

the other thread i always wanted to start was barry bonds-- with no OF left i think he would be a good pickup too although it could be a PR nightmare

but i guess manager issues would be their first thing to address

At least willie wouldnt be able to cry racism

MrHat · 05-24-2008, 07:52 PM

Meh. The guy is 72. The most wins he ever got out of a team was 87. I'm not saying he's had a ton of great clubs, but I think its real easy to overrate managers who do a decent job with bad teams. The Nats had a bunch of young players he could bark at...who's to say how that would go over on a different club.

Maybe he was just tired of losing, but he was looking very old and tired by the end of his time there too

No. Robinson had no clue at the end of his latest stint. He's an older Willie with a bit tougher reputation, however, he allegedly softened in recent years from the player/manager he was earlier in his career. Pass.

Why not just hire Earl Weaver?

njmetsfan · 05-24-2008, 08:56 PM

or Jack Mckeon

Paulie Cee · 05-24-2008, 09:07 PM

Or Casey Stengel.

njmetsfan · 05-24-2008, 10:01 PM

MetfanBren · 05-24-2008, 10:17 PM

Robinson is Willie's buddy, so I doubt he would do it...

**** him and his Peanuts team he manages now. Any other 86 Mets we can think of as managers?

Frank Robinson. Are you serious? What a cast of sh!tty characters that's coming up to replace Willie.

The McGimpy does most things upside down: eats, sleeps (an average of 23 hours per day), mates, and gives birth. Because of the McGimpy's upside down life, many of the McGimpy's internal organs (liver, stomach, spleen, pancreas) are in different positions from other mammals. McGimpy sometimes lets out a cry or hissing sound. During the rare times the McGimpy goes down to the ground (such as to change trees for food), it moves very slowly.
