I know it will be tempting to update, change or correct this section, but to avoid going back-and-forth, I assure you I will be keeping it current and eventually past-tense depending on the outcome of the series/game as well as in light of the circumstances involving the Boston Marathon bombings. The statement I contributed about the series in the first place was changed several times even though I stated in the edit summary I was aware it would be made current (I was going to remove the "2013", etc.), so if anyone changes my expansion of the section, it will just get changed again or back by me depending on the status of the game and city "lockdown". My point being, it's not going to be there very long before it's made "history" (past-tense) with event/activity status, scores, significant news, any records or injuries, etc. Just an "fyi" to save time from editing it. Keep in mind, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news feed. I'm trying to keep it general and basic/generic at this point. Also, after doing some further research, my initial "between" vs "from" was correct (even though both are used in modern English). Best to type 'between' when using April 3-7 (as example) and 'from' when using April 3rd through/until 7th (as example), or just use "during". I'm sure that is the proper/technical way. Regardless, thanks for your interest and help assisting with fixes! :) 99.129.112.89 ( talk) 13:12, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Yeah, I admit I'm lazy about formatting references properly. I understand I'm not a bad editor because of it, I just feel it's easier for other editors to view the source and verify if legit or not in case they need to be removed. No use going through the hassle of fixing them when it may not be acceptable. In this case, it's ESPN, so there isn't a concern. But sometimes a source/cite can be challenged, and it's just "easier/better" to insert them using [ ] sometimes. Thanks for your understanding, I just didn't want us being counter-productive since up to this point the situation regarding Sox vs Royals would quickly change and I was only temporarily editing the content about the weekend status in light of the [2013] bombings. At this point, I'm finished with today's game. I'll add anything signficant tomorrow after the double-header if warranted/necessary. Take care! :) 99.129.112.89 ( talk) 00:17, 21 April 2013 (UTC)
Great job updating the regular season highlights.... Someone who reads Wikipedia articles for general baseball stats from the past will appreciate that! Especially when sports articles from MLB or ESPN expire in the future. Take care! :) P.S. I'd like to go back and do previous years, but that may be "wishful thinking"!? Hehe... 99.129.112.89 ( talk) 15:22
I agree with removing them, I actually didn't put them there. That was TC's hang up about how they appeared, etc. I see a pattern on here though. People don't win a dispute and they get "revenge". Keeping track of that for sure... 99.129.112.89 ( talk) 22:53, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
Call me crazy, but I think something should be said about the "beards" in the article. The fact that a lot of players made a conscious decision to grow facial hair has gathered considerable attention from all media, including an article on Sports Illustrated (see here).
