He stood up to the front office and was critical of poorly performing players. I have no doubt that the Wilpons fired him because he believed in accountability.

There you go making stupid statements again. Note how well he did in Boston.

Bobby V is a good guy, but a mediocre manger. He loves baseball and has personality - I'll give him that. His problem - as a manager - is he thinks it's all about him. His ego is bigger than Citifield. He needs to bring the fences in inside his skull. Jim Leyland he is not.

You probably just don't like him because he was critical of the Mets for not signing Ichiro and letting Olerud go back to Seattle.

What? I just don't care for Bobby V as a manager. So don't go getting all analytic about it. Because there is no way you know what I am thinking.

I don't like him because he was a $hitty manager.

I don't think Bobby V is nearly as smart and funny as he thinks he is. I found him to be a somewhat arrogant and obnoxious goof, who for the most part over-manages. I think he over-thinks and out-thinks himself many times. I was glad when we finally parted ways with him, and I have zero desire to see him ever return to Queens.

Bobby's Mets overachieved during his tenure. And he's the only manager in our history to go to playoffs back to back seasons.

Casey Stengall was once asked, "Casey what do you attribute your success as a manager to?" Casey replied, "simple. I keep the half of the team that hates me away from the half that hasn't decided yet."

That should answer why Booby V is out of a job. Ozzie Guillen too for that matter.

I couldn't stand the guy

...so this explains why you're a defeatist...boooooby could never win at a major league level...

yes

overachieved? LOL, he didnt win a championship. plus you act like he didnt have any good players.
Piazza in his prime ( the real reason why the team went to the playoffs back to back years.NOT Bobby V!)
Olerud, Alfonzo, Ventura. Piazza carried this team on his back. They wouldnt have even made the playoffs either of those years without Piazza, that is a fact. You dont have a clue

What about the 2006 2007 players, they had arguably better players on those teams but still only made the playoffs once.

Kenny Rogers, Ball Four.

Nuff said.

Although the fact you made this thread affirms my opinion that Booby V couldn't overmanage his way out of a wet paper bag.

overachieved? LOL, he didnt win a championship. plus you act like he didnt have any good players

>>> Overachieved is a legit statement. If you look at the runs allowed vs run scored, his teams always beat the expected W/L based on it (I think it's pythagoreas)
