    Because Manny Ramirez id not just "a 41-year-old player?"

    Not that I dispute the rest of your thought.

    You're not saying Dustin Diamond changed his first name to Dell, are you? I don't see that anywhere. Of course the while
    That's pretty funny. They could always call the place Screech Stadium.

    Because living in West Texas, you try to get to civilization as often as you can.

    Was it actually Dell Diamond who played Screech?

    Manny got a single first time up:

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/mlb/2013/07/08/manny-ramirez-latest-mlb-comeback-bid-round-rock/2497627/

    Then in post game offered some Yogi like philosophy:
    "The future is greater than the past," Ramirez said after the game.

    Don't attempt. Do. Realize that even with the looser standards of a message board and the informal setting here, most of us are or have been professional writers and editors. Some of us for decades, some for literally longer than you've been alive. Communicating your thoughts in a "texty" way won't fly around here. It doesn't make you look hip and cool. It makes you look like a dumbass fanboy with zero credibility, no pertinent skills, and little knowledge of the industry and its standards.
    You want to be taken seriously around here? Write coherent sentences. Preferably in English.

    Ahh. I have over 30,000 posts, most of which are misspelled and incoherent.
    Don't care if people take me seriously or not. I find enjoyment in posting whatever
    comes to mind - grammatically correct or not.

    Yeah, but your misspelled and incoherent posts are still cleaner prose than this guy's. There's a lot of wiggle room for informality here. I'm not trying to be the grammar police (that's someone else, and a different jurisdiction than the irony police). Just saying, you need to hit more than you miss.
    This guy needs to go on a Dimaggio-like posting streak to pull himself up to the Mendoza line.
