CHICAGO -- The Chicago White Sox have announced the club's 2006 regular-season home schedule, with the White Sox opening the season at home against the Cleveland Indians (April 3, 5 and 6) for the second straight year.

 

The White Sox face the National League Central Division in interleague play in 2006, bringing the St. Louis Cardinals (June 20-22) and Houston Astros (June 23-25) to U.S. Cellular Field. The White Sox also host the Boston Red Sox (July 7-9) and New York Yankees (August 8-10).

 

The Sox and Cubs will play a three-game set at U.S. Cellular Field May 19-21.

 

The White Sox are home for 13 weekends in 2006, hosting Toronto (April 14-16); Minnesota (April 21-23, August 25-27); Kansas City (May 5-7); Cubs (May 19-21); Texas (June 2-4, July 21-23); Cleveland (June 9-11, September 7-10); Houston (June 23-25); Boston (July 7-9); Detroit (August 11-13); and the final home series of the season vs. Seattle (September 21-24).

 

The White Sox 2006 home schedule is tentative and subject to change. A complete 162-game schedule with game times and a broadcast schedule will be released at a future date.

I suspect the Cardinals game will be in the premium pack like the Yanks and Red Sox since the Cards will draw a big crowd. I must say that I am disappointed that the sox won't be playing the Brewers. I try to go to a Brewers game each year and I love the park even if their team stinks. Would have loved to have seen the Sox going to Miller again. Can't we get the Brewers as a Rival and play them every year like the Cubs. They are only 90 miles away.

Wow...opening at home again...2 years in a row...I was starting to think I'd never see the first time.

 

Anyone else wondering whether sometime between June 20 to 25, we'll be seeing a world series rematch?

I know we won't be seeing A WS rematch May 19-21

I am too disappointed they are not playing the Brewers. I went to one of the exhibitions this year at Miller Park. It's a great park and an easy drive.

 

In any event, this means they'll be going to the new ballparks in Cincy and Pittsburgh. I better start making my plans for next summer. I'd love to see PNC.

Where are the road games??? How do you know they are not in Milwaukee?

Hope we play the Brew crew next year. My wife and I went there for the exhibition game also and I found Miller park a very nice place to watch baseball. You feel you are so close to the field and players wherever you sit.

We play the Pirates and Reds on the road.

How do you know?

We play the Pirates and Reds on the road.

Where's that at? Is that on the Reds/Pirates home schedules?

I should have rephrased my earlier statement. Right now, I have no idea if they do or don't play Milwaukee. I'll have to keep an eye out for their tentative schedules as well.

The White Sox hosted the Red Sox in late August, early September, for something obscurd like 6 consecutive years. Why the sudden change this year and next?

If you read this on WSI, in the thread I posted the schedule, it's total speculation. As far as I know, the road portion hasn't come out yet, nor have the 2006 home schedules of the Pirates, Reds, or Brewers.

 

Do you know something we don't know?

We deserve to have a home opener, he hadn't had one forever until this year it seems.

Sox/Cubs get earlier and earlier every year

This schedule was mentioned here on Soxtalk 2 or 3 days ago, and it mentioned that we play the Reds and Pirates, but not the Brewers. I am too lazy to hunt for it, but any that wants to, feel free.

Any schedule at this time is specualtion and largely subject to change. My sources may be the same ones that posted on :puke WSI . I suppose all hope of a road trip to Milwaukee is not gone.

I have searched for 2006 Pirates, Reds, Brewers home schedule info but haven't found anything yet.

 

Would be nice to see them play the Brewers in Milwaukee. Any of the three locations would be great for a road trip - they'll definitely play in 2 of the 3.
