Y2HH Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Was wondering if any of the Soxtalk.com "peep-u-lation" would care to plan a weekend game where we can all meet and take over the outfield above the bullpen? Not sure who would be interested, but since I live in bport and have parking passes, I can help out with those for a few of you who don't. Of course this is probably something you all do every year, but I've never been a part of it, so I was wondering if anyone would be interested in such a thing.

The Beast Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 That'd be sweet. I've wanted to do this before but who listens to Beastly... Boyer would probably get us real discounted seats too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Yes, judgeing by how many peeps viewed this message without replying to it tells me not many are interested...seems the Soxtalk.com peeps like hiding behind monitors.

Look, theres a thing about meeting people, and I understand that... But you know, there would probably be some people who want to discuss baseball without a tense atmosphere, as sometimes there is something here. It would be best if this was in May, I think.

If I am around I could see going, but if I am still at State or busy, I obviously cannot attend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AddisonStSox Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I'm sure we'll have roll call. Don't worry; there are ways of meeting up on gameday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2HH Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 I don't understand it...big deal, so you meet some people and have a few beers together...what's the big deal. Having different opinions about baseball and our favorite team is part of being a fan...it doesn't have to lead to real life conflict and fights. We are a community of fans, online...I see nothing wrong with meeting some people at the park...it's pretty safe there with about a ton of people!

Y2HH Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 A lot of it could have to do with this worlds shallow view on what makes a person a person. Some might not be able to afford the best cloths, or look the best, etc...so they are afraid they will not be accepted...I get that, but it's nonsense. I grew up in Bridgeport before this sudden explosion of property value/northsider like invasion...so I know what it's like to grow up without money. Doesn't make you less of a person. I think if you make people feel comfortable around you in a sincere way, that's what being a good person is all about. -y2 QUOTE(Beastly @ Feb 23, 2005 -> 06:43 PM) I agree with you!

Y2HH Posted February 24, 2005 Author Share Posted February 24, 2005 Well since I'll be 30 this summer, I think I'm of drinking/driving age. Besides, I walk to the games since I live in the same neighborhood...so no drinking/driving for me!
