Breaking News: Manny Ramirez turns down Dodgers $25M offer

[Dburch1102]

No.. its any team that wants manny oriented..

[Rylinkus]

GET MANNY.

ZOMG CASHMAN PLEASE ray:

[joba2007]

But it's Yankee oriented. And I live in Red Sox nation. My boss has seats from Fenway in his office...

Ugh. Nice try, I guess. A Red Sox nation printer will never go for this. Anyone else?

DBurch should be infiltrating other boards with those same words. GET GREEDY, etc. The Yanks read these boards, dude. Like good marketers, that is one way they assess public opinion.

ok...u guys are just freakin silly!!

[joba2007]

No.. its any team that wants manny oriented..

Good point.

[phillymandan]

db...u may have sumthin!...think of it!!....and if that ridiculously small chance we get him,u could follow up with....WE GOT GREEDY,WE GOT MANNY

[joba2007]

ok...u guys are just freakin silly!!

Look, dude. You said yourself, you do not SEE it happening, but you would LIKE it to happen. Marketing 101, if there is enough demand, we will supply it. The Yankees can be swayed.

We can get rid of Nady, half Matsui's salary, and be a 3-4-5 batting order for the ages as we rake and triumph in the new Yankee Stadium. What about it isn't to love?!

& Manny coming back to the AL East to avenge the Red Sox. It is marketer's dream. Why wouldn't the Yankees go for that narrative? They will make the money back in spades!! Imagine the number of Manny jerseys they will sell, The # of dreadlock baseball caps. It will be a phenomenon. It is a classic storybook ending.

GET GREEDY...GET MANNY!

[Dburch1102]

Im so serious right now dude... why didnt I think of this earlier?

[joba2007]

db...u may have sumthin!...think of it!!....and if that ridiculously small chance we get him,u could follow up with....WE GOT GREEDY,WE GOT MANNY

lol. now you are getting in the spirit of things. Dburch's slogan must be spread to other boards!!!
(You'd better copyright it, Burch!!)

[rudemechanical]

dude im serious where can I make them?

Ok, my mind is racing. The way to go about this is get some new york based advertiser on board to front the money for production costs. The trade off is, they get their branding on it.

We put together a guerilla campaign to get Yankee fans to wear some shirts in front of the Stadium.

We also send a group to demonstrate outside Hank's place in Tampa, and at Steinbrenner Field, or whatever the hell it's called.

We get Manny to wear one and shoot a video, which lives on You Tube. We can have him with headphones on, listening to Reggatone. We incorporate the guerilla segments into the video.

The video has a link to advertiser's site, where you can "order Get Greedy...Get Manny t-shirt, limited offer.'

We third-party track it so they can't rip DBirch off, because he coined the slogan. DBirch and advertiser split the proceeds.

Manny gets a fat contract out of it, because the Yankees can't resist the viral buzz and they also see the merchandising potential.

They sign Manny.

They buy the license from DBirch, who makes a tidy sum and gets royalties on sales, and he takes the entire Yankee PSD community out for beers....many beers.

Oh, and of course, I'll be collecting my agent's fee for coming up with the viral campaign (we'll negotiate privately).

[rudemechanical]

OMG! We still haven't signed Manny...

OMG, neither has anyone else

[rudemechanical]

db...u may have sumthin!...think of it!!....and if that ridiculously small chance we get him,u could follow up with....WE GOT GREEDY,WE GOT MANNY

that's great - we re-issue the original concept, but with the updated slogan.

[Dburch1102]

rude we need to get that going... as soon as you spell my last name correct

[rudemechanical]

I work for a company that has T-shirt printing capabilities. I don't see us making Yankees paraphernalia though...

DBurch - got yourself a t-shirt maker! Isn't a sharing community grand!

[rudemechanical]

rude we need to get that going... as soon as you spell my last name correct

Yeah, uhh...sorry. I know you're not John Birch...
