Future as Mets Manager

There is no evidence in New York that Bobby Valentine will return as the Mets manager. Before reverting someone's edits, please ensure that there's an actual reason to revert them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.69.127.132 (talk) 21:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Career Record

On the right section, the career win/loss record reflects only his time with Texas and not with the Mets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.85.127.85 (talk) 02:00, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Saturday Night Massacre?

Why are the trades from June 15, 1977 referred to as the "Saturday Night Massacre"? June 15, 1977 was a Wednesday.

The "Saturday Night Massacre" commonly refers to Richard Nixon's firing of Archibald Cox as Watergate special prosecutor. Elliot Richardson and William Ruckelshaus also were fired from the Attorney General's office for refusing to fire Ruckelshaus. None of which has anything to do with the Tom Seaver or Dave Kingman trades. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Calliaume (talk • contribs) 20:23, 18 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Red Sox Manager

Hi, just thought I'd create this to cut off the edits at the pass: he has not yet been offered the position of Manager of the Boston Red Sox. He and Gene Lamont were the two finalists; Lamont is reportedly out. However, again, no job offer has been extended to Bobby. Will update the page if/when it becomes official. --Boston Burkenation (talk) 23:16, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While it isn't official yet, it is being widely reported that Bobby Valentine has already been hired to be the next Red Sox skipper. See an ESPN report here: ESPN, and an AP report here: AP. In any event, we'll know for sure in just a few hours. Go Braves! Mike (talk) 07:13, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:Crystal; Wikipedia is not a Crystal ball, and until he is introduced to the Boston Media as the Manager he should not be listed as their manager. --Boston Burkenation (talk) 16:00, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Per MLB.com, a deal is "reportedly close". While in practical terms that means he will almost assuredly be the manager, HE IS NOT PRESENTLY THE MANAGER. I'm getting tired of being the only person reverting factually inaccurate information here. Since I'm probably at 3RR, I'd appreciate it if you'd revert it Boston. It's fine to source that he's on the verge of becoming Boston's manager, but it's not okay to say he IS Boston's manager. Especially as of the 2011 season, which is what the infobox presently says. The 2011 season ended with Game 7 of the World Series. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:08, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done! Check it out feel free to tweak my edits (I didn't revert, I just made changes) --Boston Burkenation (talk) 16:32, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. We're good now. For now. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:31, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually official now. There is a press conference scheduled tomorrow at 5:30 to introduce Bobby as their new manager. (Metfan722 #top|talk) 19:44 (7:44 PM), 30 November 2011 (UTC)
