Tribe announces 2010 schedule

The Indians open and close 2010 in Chicago against the White Sox, plan a beatdown of the Yankees for Memorial Day, and play an interleague series against the Pirates for the second straight year. Oh, and there's a series against that guy who used to play here and now plays in Philadelphia. Direct link to schedule.

The Indians open and close 2010 in Chicago against the White Sox

I wonder if this is a new MLB gimmick…

The New York Yankees will open and close the 2010 season against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, just the fifth time in 50 years the rivals both start and finish against each other.

Of course, the latter made ESPN.com and the former didn’t. Wonder why.

Dodgers, Rockies, Giants, Padres and Diamondbacks. Oh my!

Because many, many more people are more interested?

Yeah, I really can’t fault them in this specific case.

Huzzah for playing the Nats and Mets in interleague play!

You do realize those games will be in Cleveland, right?

The big news: PHILLY. It only took 16 years of interleague play for the Indians to get here.

I need to get to those games.

Boo, weekdays.

Gary Cohen and Ron Darling doing an Indians game will be heavenly.

The once and future

I’ve been meaning to get back to Philly soon anyway. This may be the perfect excuse.

Yeah, I’m kinda excited about that one.

*sigh*

So I’ll be in Kansas City in May. And maybe Boston in August, we’ll have to see.

I think I may be at a KC game, too, but probably the August 17-19 series. Definitely May 15 or 16 in Baltimore. Maybe June in Pittsburgh. Will probably take in the 2010 version of the Aeros when they visit Richmond (still supposedly the new home of the Connecticut Defenders).

There is no point in me going to a KC game in August. I’m in South Carolina at that point.

Maybe I’ll go to Texas in July. My aunt and Uncle live there so we could stay with them.

I take the kids to see their grandparents in Lawrence every summer. This year, we saw the Royals play the Cardinals. Next year, I’m trying to schedule the Indians.

There is no point in me going to a KC game in August. ~~I’m in South Carolina~~ it’s a battle for draft position at that point.

fixed

Am hoping I can make the 4 game set in Seattle this time. Unfortunately, looks like it is scheduled very near to when my daughter will be starting kindergarden. We shall see ….

by talonk on Sep 15, 2009 3:38 PM EDT reply actions

The home opener is against Texas? Ack.

I do like that we only have 7 home games in April when the weather is crappy and people don’t go to the ballpark even if the team is playing lights out.

They open on the road, which is a good thing, but the road games (Chicago, Detroit) are in worse climates than Cleveland. Go figure.

You wonder if Pittsburgh is now going to be an annual series.

by Ryan on Sep 15, 2009 4:26 PM EDT reply actions

One step closer to my league-free dream division of Cleveland, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and the ChiSox.

Anyway, I would support all interleague play being geographic — home-and-homes with a couple of nearby teams every season. I know that doesn’t do much for the southern and western teams, but I think it at least makes more sense than what they’re doing.

by fleerdon on Sep 15, 2009 4:32 PM EDT up reply actions

Heck, all you need to do is to limit interleague play to a home-and-home with your “official” NL rival. The other four series are just fluff.

This.

But it does seem that they’ve moved in this direction. We’ve got only six interleague series, three games each, and three of the six series (9 of 18 games) are regional rivalries.

And no doubt the Indians would rather Pittsburgh visited Cleveland than vice versa.

by Jay on Sep 15, 2009 4:54 PM EDT up reply actions

I notice that Philly plays home-and-away with their designated rival Boston, and they also visit the Yankees, plus Cleveland, Minnesota and Toronto. So that too fits the pattern.
