Manny being childish

Jimmy: If McCormick is fine with it, we should also be fine with it.

Red wonders if we're really seeing a sudden personality change or some management propaganda to set us all up for them not re-signing Manny when his contract's up.

'Course, what do they know down there in ma's basement? The Real Sports Writer, a.k.a. CHB, DEMANDS ACTION NOW; his only question is: Firing squad or hangman?

Aw, I got Shank-rolled. You made me click on a CHB link. I'd have rather seen Rick Astley. Please, call him Shank or CHB. I clicked just to find out who the "Real Sports Writer" is and almost threw my computer across the room when I saw the byline.

You need some eyewash?

Sorry, I thought the line about ma's basement was enough of a warning.

For some reason

I saw the ma's basement comment and thought "must be Schilling" at first. Went the wrong way with the reference. :)

Don't need the eyewash, I have a bottle of this:

Next time at Fenway ...

When is someone at the Glob gonna stand up to you Dan?

Not OK with not OK

Mike Mennonno can't stand that phrase in general, and the way Shanky uses it in particular; says we should just call Manny's behavior what it is: Divalicious.

If it were mostly anyone else, in some other career...

Whether the incident was blown out of proportion or the traveling secretary said it wasn't a big deal - what would happen if someone pushed someone in your line of work?

In my office they'd probably get fired. Maybe in the sports industry you can push a co-worker and get away with it. Imagine if some bench player did it? Is Manny even getting fined? This sends a clear message to kids that you can push someone and get away with it.

I think that whatever penalty Manny is subjected to should be made public. It sets a bad precedent.
