Hard not to think getting Manny to hang out down there for a bit and then in AAA isn't going to energize some of the kids who come in contact with him and probably idolized the shit out of him.

Time to grammar

I don't think Thrill's being pedantic about grammar so much as he's (rightfully) being pedantic about clarity.  Seems what you wrote may well be grammatically pure, just a little tough to comprehend what you were saying with the two negative clauses.  I'm still not 100% sure if you were saying Manny would have a positive or negative effect on these lads.  

At 54 minutes past the mid-day point, on the 10th day of June in the year of our Lord, Two Thousand and Fourteen, Huey defended Thrill's "pedandticness."
I can't believe I even know these people. I'm ashamed of my internet life.

The part about these kids idolizing the shit out of Manny makes me think Slak is mildly positiving the Manny Experience. But it's hard to be sure.

I'd just like to add that it's nice seeing Manny in a  Cubs uniform, even if he is old and fattish and merely a coach...

Yeah all of that is what I meant. Also the kids like it. Even haters and losers can see that.

Why the hell not.

Maybe the twenty or thirty times Theo made sure to emphasize in the original announcement that this wasn't on the table?

Quote from: Epstink
"While Manny is not and will not be a fit on the Cubs major league roster, we do think at this stage of his life he's a nice fit as a mentor for some of the young talented hitters we have in the organization. Manny will coach full-time and play part-time in a limited role that does not take at-bats away from our prospects. If he shows there is still some magic in his bat, perhaps he will find his way to the major leagues and help another team, but that is not why he is here. We are thrilled that he wants to work with our young hitters and make a difference."

I know what he said.  I still want to see him called up after Schierzholtz is traded.  Brett Jackson, Ryan Kalish, Matt Szczur, Josh Vitters, and Casper Wells are the current Iowa outfielders.  No thanks.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?
