There have been tons of weird things about the schedule over the past several years, but the one that is smacking me upside the head at the moment is the slate of Memorial Day games.. Two AL teams with the day off. SIX NL teams with the day off.

It seemed that the Tigers and Angels offense also took the day off.Originally posted by George & Al View Post -
I hate the unbalanced schedule. I feel that historically the Tigers have had some spirited rivalries with the Red Sox and Yankees and yet they only play both teams like 2-3 times a season."Batting stats and pitching stats do not indicate the quality of play, merely which part of that struggle is dominant at the moment."

Years ago they would show baseball all day on the holidays. I guess baseball isn't America's pastime anymore. What is, I don't know anymore

its a funny thing though...even though I think baseball should be played on all of the summer holidays, we are mad that baseball is not played on days that in America most people since the New Deal have gotten off. I know today most blue collar workers only have holiday pay to look forward to on these holidays, but if there is anything American its taking memorial day and the 4th of July off and enjoying yourself.Originally posted by Stray Cat View PostYears ago they would show baseball all day on the holidays.

but then again, I would enjoy myself more if I could watch a ballgame...haha"Batting stats and pitching stats do not indicate the quality of play, merely which part of that struggle is dominant at the moment."

Better than boating with all those crazy drunks on the lakes and rivers.
