Talk:Yankees–Red Sox rivalry/Archive 5

Article renamed
I went ahead and renamed the article Red Sox–Yankees rivalry to keep the teams in alphabetical order, with the second paragraph of WP:AND used as a guideline. NYCRuss  ☎  13:28, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * NYCRuss, should we have the article as Yankees–Red Sox rivalry? I believe so because the news media often says it "Yankees-Red Sox," rather than "Red Sox-Yankees." – SNIyer12, (talk), 02:00, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have moved it back to the original title per BRD. By all means feel free to open an RM, but I will say that my experience (granted, living in Fairfield County, CT probably has something to do with this) is that it's almost always referred to as the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry.

 * I've lived in NYC and Boston. I've heard it as "Yankees-Red Sox" exclusively. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:51, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Teixeira-Padilla
The feud between the two is a legitimate and relevant issue within the context of the rivalry. Munson and Fisk HATED each other and it led to one of the most intense decades in the rivalry. The personal feud is what makes the rivalry that much more heated and relevant. Arnabdas (talk) 22:48, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Apples and oranges. I don't see how Teixeira and Padilla's distaste for one another compares. And you should really revert your addition per WP:BRD, in which you were bold, I reverted, and now we discuss without your bold addition present in the article. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:05, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That's fine about reaching consensus first. I don't understand how they are "apples and oranges" as you say. As I said before, a rivalry is inflamed more when things get personal. Thus it totally makes sense to include it. It adds to the drama that is Yankees-Red Sox. Arnabdas (talk) 23:18, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Munson and Fisk took it out on each other during games over a long period of time. Here, Padilla said something about Teixeira that has had no impact on the field. Teixeira just brushed it off. Munson and Fisk are similar to if it was Jeter and Ortiz. Teixeira and Padilla reminds me more of Pedro and Karim Garcia, except there's no bench clearing near-brawl and nobody's thrown Zim down to the ground. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:34, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, remove it for now. I think it is a noteworthy issue and should be put back in if this feud escalates while they are both on the teams. Arnabdas (talk) 15:26, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
