So there was something in the trib about next year's interleague schedule, though it isn't official yet.

 

Home-Dodgers, Pirates, Cubs

Road-Reds, Brewers, Cubs

 

All I can say is, what the f***? The Pirates for the fourth straight year! The Doders for the second year in a row, and the reds for the second time since 2006? I wouldn't hate interleague as much if the same teams didn't play each other every year. At least we get the Brewers.

I don't think that they've ever played the Mets.

I think they played them at the Cell in 2002, but I don't remember us ever going to Shea.

Haven't played the Braves in forever, if ever (other than a few exhibition games at the end of Spring Training).

played the mets at home.....i went to al leiter vs. sirotka (i think).....Piazza hit a bomb IIRC and tony graffanino hit a HR and drove in the only 2 runs for the sox...and they won 2-1

 

 

we also played the braves in ....04 i think....the year before jaret wright went to FA...he carved us up at home....and i thought for sure we were gonna sign him that offseason...

 

thats a pretty favorable interleague schedule i think...then again, any national league schedule is rather favorable

 

EDIT: that mets game couldn't have been sirotka, he was gone by then...looked it up, it was danny wright in 02, and piazza didnt HR he drove the run in on a double

All the road games are still fairly close, that's a good thing.

 

I'm down to root for the Sox in Miller Park as I have few friends that happen to be Milwaukee fans.

I'll be going to Cincinnati for all 3 and Milwaukee for 1 or 2.

 

Thanks, WSF1986!

We have- I went that year and Piazza signed a baseball for me.

I'm guessing it was a 2 and 2 year deal we signed with Pittsburgh- we played them in 2006 and 2007 at home, and will be playing them next year and we already played them this year.

We also played the Dodgers in 2005- AJ hit that walkoff HR to left-center on 1959 night.

We played in Cincinnati in 2006, too- we swept. Remember Garland hit the HR in the 3rd game??

We played in Milwaukee in 2001 or 2002, too.

I wish we could play the Pirates and the Reds 18 times each

 

We'd have a record as good as the Scrubs

Would like to see them play the Nationals. Last time they played them, they were located in Montreal. Neal Cotts ripped a double in one of the games.

I want the Giants at home. Welcome home A-Row

Interleague sucks. At least the team will have a short "road trip" to Milwaukee, though the Brewers are pretty damn good and are spending money.

I agree interleague does suck....except for playing the Cubs....every team should play the closest

rival 6 games and call it good.

That was the series Arnie Munoz made his start and gave up 11 runs. After the game Ozzie said "He only had one bad inning".

 

It should only exist, if at all, for a two game series and it should be to allow a Sox - Cubs, Mets - Yankees, Angels - Dogers, etc.

Despite losing that game, that was one of the most entertaining games, with all the runs that scored. I remember DJ and Hawk were pretty loony that game as well.

This interleague schedule sure does suck. No real marqee match ups and too many repeats from the previous couple years. Cant MLB get a little more unique, lame.

Looks like 18 easy wins to me.

I wouldnt call the Dodgers easy

IIRC, Orlando Cabrera had a walkoff hit against the Sox the next day.

I keep waiting for the Sox to play in St. Louis again. I want to see the new ballpark, but I want the Sox to playing when I do. Maybe I'll go see the Cubs, but wear red.

Wear Sox red.

 

Why can't MLB do something like the NFL does, with rotating divisions, but still factor in their rivalry series? Interleague is lame enough as it is, it may as well make sense.

I want to go to the Milwaukee game for sure.

They did around 2001-2002. Not sure why they changed it. I usually use interleague as an excuse to travel to a new ballpark (San Diego, Cincy.) Looks like I'll have to make a trip to Seattle, Toronto, or Tampa Bay. f*** the Pirates.

They should I think the problem is the NL Central having too many teams to make that work and the AL West not having enough, also the fact the the Sox-Cubs, Mets-Yankees, Dodgers-Angels, and Giants-A's each have to play each other twice, that throws a wrench in the system. The only way to make that work would be to expand interleague play even more to about 21 games a season, 2 series against your "rival" and 5 against the division that you are facing that season.
