OFFICIAL 2006 National Pastime thread...

Probably worthwhile to sticky this...could get good as the season rolls on.

To start, here we are comming up on Memorial Day Weekend and the REAL beginning to the baseball season! So, who has the best record in baseball??? THE TIGERS! 17 games above .500, they hold a game over the slightly more favored White Sox sitting at 30-15.

Over in the AL East, Steinbrenner and the Bo' Sox are duking it out for the top spot (as usual), while the AL West struggles to keep their heads above water.

The National League is definitely more exciting! The NL West is practically oppsite of their AL counterparts, with ALL 5 teams above .500, separated by 2.5 games and the GIANTS are sitting on top (j/k - they're bringing up the slack from the bottom as Barry battles the Babe AND withdrawls...)

Heading east, the Cards top out the Central with the NL's best record of 30-16.

WAAY out East sees MY Mets looking down on everyone! 4 games up on the 2nd place Phils (JUST beat 'em out in 16 innings tonight, after tying it up w/ 3 runs in the 8th). The Braves of old ARE old, as they hold a death grip on 3rd over the dissappointing Nats and "Fish".

So, as we all make our plans to BBQ this weekend and ring in the Summer of '06, its time to pay homage to the game that has seen this country through think AND thin!

And, in true RL Forums fashion, we gotta start the debates, so...who's gonna steal this year's ring from Steinbrenner!?!?! (Sorry Yanks fans!)

Wheter you like baseball or not, there is nothing better than spending a Sunday afternoon at the park drinking overpriced beer and crappy hotdogs with everything on it chilling out in the sun with your teams hat on blocking the sun from your eyes, filling out the roster sheet in your program and BSing with the guys. I can't watch baseball on TV, but I love going to the ballpark.

Yeah now they are on pace to break a new record. (THE WORST RECORD IN BASEBALL HISTORY!!!). Its pretty sad cause Albert Pulose or however you spell it when to highschool in the KC area and the Royals couldn't even pick him up. At one point this season he had more homeruns than the entire royals team.
