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.

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

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:

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

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.

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.
