Proposal: Two Weeks of Yankee-Red Sox Smack, Then a Truce

[joeybee12]

Whadda ya think? We can say anything (no personal insults, of course) about each other's teams, and get it out of our systems. Then we call a truce until the All-Star break. Until that time we only say nice things. For example, I'll say, "Derek Jeter sure makes a fine-looking woman!"

Wait, that is a compliment--see SNL of three years ago!

Do you think two weeks is enough? Do you think waiting until the All-Star break is too long? Or is Yankee-Red Sox smack so much a part of the fiber of our beings that it just has to be let out however and whenever?

Suggestions please!

1. You're never going to stop the whining and hubris of the Yankee fan

So 2 weeks is out of the question...

[HuckleB]

2. But...

the season is two weeks old, so does that mean the truce starts now?!

I sure hope so.

:)

3. Nah, I was thinking once we agreed, the two weeks would begin...

...but I'm figuring a lot of people would want more than two weeks!

4. We don't play them again for a while

so things should settle of their own accord.

5. Memorial Day weekend, I think

At Fenway.

We close the regular season against them in NY. Could be interesting.

7. Definitely could be interesting...we always play the skankees late

in the season, but I can't recall it ever being the season-ending series.

6. I don't know, I am so tempted to say Sheffield is being a real p**ck

now that he's been exonorated. Of course, in the interest of good will, I won't say that!

8. Remaining schedule Yanks vs Sux.

May 27th ,28th, 29th at the Stadium.

July 14th, 15th, 16th & 17th at Fenway.

Sept 9th 10th & 11th at the Stadium

Sept 30th, Oct 1st and 2nd at Fenway to finish the season.

10. You're right

I read the home/away schedule wrong.

I assume you mean the Sox? :evilgrin:

11. I stand by my spelling...

;-)

[joeybee12]

12. Oh my...but I'll be a good sport and won't call them the New York

Skankees!:evilgrin:

9. There's already been two weeks of Yankee/Sox bashing going on.

Just keep it playful guys.

13. Update! After this last week, I propose a truce now!

Stupid Red Sox!

I'm not real concerned just yet--this is their typical pattern of how they start the year--blazing in April, but close to May, they slump.
