Around SBN: Cal RB Jahvid Best Seriously Injured, Carted Off Field

Join The Million Manny March

A grassroots effort has taken hold in certain orange-and-blue corners of the internet to organize and help convince the Mets to spend much of their remaining 2009 payroll space to sign free agent leftfielder hitter Manny Ramirez.

A gathering outside SNY's Manhattan studios has been planned for this Thursday. Details per the event's Facebook page:

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL MANNIFICATION OF THE NEW YORK METS IN 2009!

Mets fans lets have our voices heard! Lets show Mr. Wilpon how much we want Manny on our team!

Date: Thursday, Feb 5th
Location: Outside of SNY Studio's (OUTSIDE SNY STUDIOS 51st and 6th AVENUE DURING "METS HOT STOVE")

Some folks will be meeting at 6:30 at Radio City Music Hall across the street and walk over for Mets Hot Stove weekly at 7!

DEMAND #1: BRING SIGNS AND WEAR METS GEAR
DEMAND #2: GO WILD!!!!!!

You can follow the discussion via NYFS or Facebook.

Sheer lunacy

King of the bling come to lay down the evidence//Not George Bush, L-Millz be da president

someone from this site needs to attend

with a “HELLO HELLO MR. WILPON WE WANT THE MANSION NOT THE CONDO” sign.

Sure, it speaks to an incredibly limited audience but I would buy that person so many tacos.

I work a block away from the site of the "rally"

so maybe I’ll make such a sign and head over if I can get away from work for a few.

That would be amazing

throw it in with the Tuuu Timp sign and maybe we’ve got a meme.

If there was any doubt about the passion of Mets fans

Let it die right now. Damn! If I lived up there, I’d be on scene in a New York minute.

What if I don't want the Mets to sign Manny?

Can I stage a pro-Ben Sheets and Adam Dunn march on the other side of 6th Avenue?

I might join you

I don’t know that I can get behind “THE COMPLETE AND TOTAL MANNIFICATION OF THE NEW YORK METS IN 2009”. “Mannification” may be the worst fake word I have heard in ages.

As such, I’ll have to insist your rally is not about “GETTING IT DUNN FOR THE NEW YORK METS IN 2009” or “STARTING WITH CLEAN SHEETS FOR THE NEW YORK METS IN 2009”.

that is acceptable

and great.

Clean Sheets

Rumor has it...

That to show their true support of Manny, the participants will be jogging half speed to rally.
