No Wait To See Next Year
MLB has released a master 2010 schedule…
Funny, I could remember some recent seasons past where the Yankees would wait forever, for unknown reason, to release their schedule…leaving fans to try and piece it together…using schedules for other teams and picking out the Yankees games. Mark Newman offers some Yankees items for next year:
…The 2010 rotation for Interleague Play is NL East vs. AL Central, NL Central vs. AL West, and NL West vs. AL East. If that Dodgers-Yankees ’09 World Series doesn’t materialize as so many of those teams’ fans have hoped aloud this season, then hold that thought, because the Bronx Bombers are at Dodger Stadium next June 25-27…
…June 11 marks the seventh anniversary of the night when six Astros pitchers combined to no-hit the Yankees in The Bronx. Houston opens a series at new Yankee Stadium on this same day…
…For the first time since 1950, the rival Yankees and Red Sox will start and finish the regular season playing each other at Fenway Park. The closeout is on Oct. 1-3 — the weekend after they face each other at Yankee Stadium — and one only can wonder if they both will play on after that, as they have been wont to do so often lately…
Check out the Yankees first 12 games of the season next year: Boston and Tampa Bay, three games each, all on the road. Then they come home for three against the Angels and three against the Rangers. Man, that’s a rough first two weeks…
I don’t ever remember the next year’s schedule coming out this early before..I wonder why they didn’t wait till the offseason to do this..
Opening AND closing at Fenway next year? Jeez, Bud and his team of gerbils don’t try too hard to hide how much they love to give Boston every attendance benefit possible.
It’s infuriating.
(To say nothing of the fact that NO northern team should ever have a home opener since the weather is always complete crap at the end of March/beginning of April).
