Around SBN: Veterans Share Their Favorite Sports Memories

Should we do gamethreads for Mets' minor league affiliate games televised on SNY? (Choose one.)

  1. Definitely. This would be a great development for Amazin' Avenue, and will help our readers to better familiarize themselves with our farm system and its players, by engaging in threads with others.
  2. Maybe. It's definitely worth a shot, and maybe this idea could catch on with the readers here. It could be a fun way to get to know the farm system better by engaging in commentary about the games.
  3. Doubtful. While the idea might sound good in theory, it just doesn't have the interest needed to make for a worthwhile gamethread. I'll just follow the minor league reports in the morning posted on the front page, instead.
  4. Who cares!? I'll just stick to the regular Mets gamethreads, and let the minors take care of itself. All that matters is that the prospects produce, and that they produce in the bigs once they get here.
  5. Other. (list your stance on this now, not 3 days from now.)

The gamethreads can be confined to the FanShots section, which I think is the best idea if it catches on

I don’t think it’s front page-worthy, as it would clog up the stories section.

mostly because there’s basically nothing to lose by trying it, and i think enough people would be into it. threads for bison games especially would be quite popular.

I agree that the FanShots are the right place to do these, but it’d have to be an off-day, of course.

(click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
