2007 Schedule

by palcal on Sep 26, 2006 5:11 PM EDT

Indians will play Braves and Phillies at home, play at Washington and Florida, don't play Mets.

The number of weekday DAY games has been increased to 8.

All 13 Saturday games are scheduled as night games.

Only 6 games against the Yankees, the games in NY are in the 3rd week of April.

Season again opens in Chicago.

June and July are stacked with home games.

Last home series in September is against Oakland,
then they go on the road to Seattle and KC to end the season.

What jumps out at me is 16 of 20 at home after the All Star Break.

Re: 2007 Schedule

So the Indians are on the road for...

Opening Day
Memorial Day
July 4th
Labor Day
Final regular season game

I can't remember the last time the Indians opened at home. And it has nothing to do with the April climate, as the team opens in a worse city for the second straight season.

It must be related to the Indians preferences as much as the leagues. The Indians may have preferred to open on the weekend, although they open with a 4-game series w/o an off-day against a team (Seattle) that is making its only visit of the season to Cleveland.

I guess MLB didn't listen to Shapiro's request...

again!

Hello everyone,

So much for Shapiro's request to have the Indians start the season at home, though they do start on the Friday of the first week like they did this season. However, if MLB wants the White Sox and Indians to start off the season, why not make the White Sox come here? After all, we started in Chicago in 2006; couldn't they come here to start 2007? After all, as you mentioned Ryan, our climate is no worse than Chicago's, if not better.

You sometimes have to wonder what these MLB schedule makers are thinking when they make up these schedules. Also, when was the last time we were on the road for all those important dates you mentioned?

Go Tribe! :-)

Re: 2007 Schedule

I am so bitter ... the Indians have never played in Philly, and the Phillies are visiting Cleveland now for the second time in four seasons.

By the way, we didn't get Opening Day at home, but we did get the first weekend. That might be just as good if not better.

Re: 2007 Schedule

Bah, that's pretty much my thoughts on the subject as well. I figured the Indians were due to play here since they're playing the East next year & haven't played in Philly.. but of course not. Guess I'll just have to catch 'em when I go home to visit the parents.

Speaking of Philly, as a fellow Philadelphian Indians fan, if you ever want to get a beer & reminisce about Cory Snyder & Brett Butler, drop me a line or something.

Re: 2007 Schedule

Or if you guys come down to Baltimore for a game, let me know and I'll come into the city to enjoy the game with a few faithful Indians fans...

Re: 2007 Schedule

Dr. Erik -- done. But do I have to call you doctor?

Zempf -- totally off-topic, but can you help me fix up a 16-track reel-to-reel?

Re: 2007 Schedule

Ha.. I don't know, 3 years of being an EE major might not have taught me enough to diagnose your 16-track, but I do wield a wicked soldering iron. I suppose a lot of it depends how broken it is, exactly. Feel free to email me if you want (it should be in my profile, but if not, mike at frantic dot org works best), and like I said, if nothing else I can buy you a beer for your troubles.

Re: 2007 Schedule

Erik will do fine, i'm a Ph.D., not an MD, meaning I don't require people to use my formal title. All it really means is that I really, really liked being in school.

That's the second straight year we've gotten that!

Hello Jay,

Yes, at least we got the first weekend. That's at least two straight years we'll have that (Minnesota in 2006.) At least we don't have to have a 7-10 game road trip to start the year before having our home opener. The first weekend isn't bad for the home opener.

Go Tribe! :-)

Re: 2007 Schedule

Three years of law school in an AL city, you think that at least once the Indians would visit Boston in April, May or September.

I don't mind that we have an unbalanced schedule. But it doesn't have to be so unbalanced.

Re: 2007 Schedule

Huh, look at that. Thanks.

You would think this is my first time looking at a schedule. Can't wait to lineup outside Fenway when tickets go on sale.

Re: 2007 Schedule

Interesting, this is the third year in a row the Jays and Indians play on a weekend.
What stands out most to me is the 7 games v. the Red Sox.
Also, with the unbalanced scheduel, I think the league needs to start placing more divisional games in the last month of the season. It is unfair to make a team from the east have to travel and play games on the west coast the final week of the season.

Another note, the 4th week of the season has the Indians facing 4 teams! I don't think I have seen that in a week that did not involved a make up game.

Re: 2007 Schedule

Every year, in the current 26-week, 52-series format, there is one week a season in which Monday-Thursday is split into 2 series to make up for All-Star Week when there is no mid-week series.

Note that the Indians have a 4-day All-Star break in 2007.
