    A request for Red Sox Game Thread???

    Re: Red Sox thread (continued)

    Request to Moderators:

    As I am sure you may have noticed, certain recent events have left many Red Sox fans in a somewhat subdued, dare I say it, depressed state. Now, I know I am a "newbie", but I have always lived by, you don't get anything, unless you ask....so....

    here is my question

    Would it be possible to have a Red Sox Game Thread for maybe one of the late night games this week to give some of the Sox Fans here, who bring so much to this thread, Rice 14, Bucky, Archer, Hildy, Marietta, et als, and maybe some new comers (like, oh, maybe, me) and others, have sort of a Make a Wish baseball fan style, so as to be able to comment on a game with Sox and Yankees fans, and experience something other than a postmortem discourse....it might get people off of things like payroll, and Theo, and all that other stuff, that is ad nauseum, sometimes making this thread sound like a really boring Finance and Sports Seminar......and get us all back to discussing the game we all love, albeit from differing viewpoints, experiences and expectations.

    I know that this is a very gracious site to allow us our voices here. I am impressed by the standards of this site and the general decorum and civility of the posters. I really think it could be a very interesting experience, for all who could take part.

    Just a thought. (Yes I know I have big brass b**** for a broad to bring this up, but it might just be fun)

    Thanks.

    Your consideration to this request will be greatly appreciated.

        Wouldn't it then look bad on the part of nyyfans? "You can only have sox GTs when they're losing".

          What are the odds of that?

            I voted no. In theory it is a good idea but it does have the potential to get ugly (either way).

            And I think the answer will be "no" and I want to win something.

              No. This is a Yankees forum and there are plenty of Red Sox forums out there.

                With so many sox forums out there, why would you want to "cleanse your pallettes" here, of all places? To accomplish what?

                Sorry, bad idea. I hope it never happens.

                  Exactly. I think Jim has been overly nice to the Sox fans. Much nicer than I would have been.

                      My fear is it would bring people from other sites that really shouldn't be in here - if they were to hear that NYYFans now has a RS GT.

                      Also, doing it once would only make RS fans here want to have a Sox GT all the time and that would take away from what this site is really all about - Yankees. Sorry - just my opinon.

                        Why not? If Sox fans want to have a game thread here, it doesn't hurt anyone. If people aren't interested, they don't have to view it. As for fears of it getting ugly, potential for that exists on any thread. If it does get out of control, the mods can cancel the experiment.

                          I'm not keen on this idea. This is NYYFans.com, a website with a Bronx bias and Yankees-related forums and topics. Go to a Red Sox forum to keep up with their games.

                            Is there absolutely NO Sox website with GT's? Are they all completely lame?? I've never been to any Sox websites so I'm asking sincerely.

                              No, no, and then no again.

                              This is a site for Yankees fans. I feel we go above and beyond what other sites would do in allowing fans of another team to have as much of a presence here as they do, and in no way will there be any sort of 'official' or 'sanctioned' Red Sox anything.
