Piecing together the 2006 schedule.

[Guest SI Metman]

The Astros released their entire schedule and the Rockies released their home sched for next season. That combined with the leaked dates for Boston has me starting this a few weeks earlier this season.

The locations for the Subway Series are educated guesses with the dates correct. I will bump and edit this thread as more dates are released by other teams. (On edit 9/25: Apparently the Mets are screwed out of an interleague home series and will not face Tampa)

* Mets-Reds June 19-22 is only NL Series. Those are interleague dates.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

I'm waiting for the Cardinals' schedule to come out. We're going to have a new stadium to visit next sumer.

Thanks SI!

[Guest SI Metman]

bump

Reds released their sched today which shows that the Mets will be screwed out of another interleague home series yet again.

[Valadius]

Why does it always have to be us? Why can't the Phillies and the Pirates play each other during the Rivalry Series instead?

[nymr83]

why the fuck do we play the yankees twice a year? that bullshit is getting old...

I don't get what the complaint is here.
You get 81 at home & 81 on the road.
As far as I'm concerned the fewer IL games on the sked the better.

[Guest SI Metman]

My take on the whole thing is that it's fewer new teams coming to Shea. Oakland and Texas have yet to make trips because the Mets took an extra NL team at home during those years.

Besides, 3 less games against someone like Tampa could mean 3 more games against a better team. We'll just have to see how the schedule plays out and where those extra 3 games are going.

[Valadius]

I want more games against teams we can beat.

[Guest SI Metman]

Another bump after obtaining Opening Day and the first Mets-Nats road series from that article.

In the immortal words of Derrick Colman; "Whoop-dee-damn-doo"

I know the league tries to promote this notion that new and different teams visiting your crib once every 5-6 years spurns some sort of jump in attendance but their "proof" of this comes when they compare IL games (mostly in June & July when school is out) with that of April games giving them a fool-proof way of pronouncing their experiment a success every time.
The fact that IL games can be (and frequently are) distributed unfairly is true, but whether losing or gaining one will be an advantage is totally random. Of course it would be nice if schedules weren't subjected to randomness but that's the fault of the whole IL concept in the first place.

[Guest SI Metman]

19 games added tonight including SF, LA and Milwaukee

[Guest SI Metman]

It has been learned that the Reds series costs a visit by Scott Kazmir and the D-Rays who will not be on the Mets interleague schedule

[Guest SI Metman]

19 games vs the Phillies edited in.

They play 10 times in August.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

Dammit! For the second year in a row there won't be a weekend series in Philly

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

ASG's in Pittsburgh, not SF.

Also, it'd be dandy if Pedro threw a perfect game against the poo poo Red Sox.

[Guest cooby]

Wouldn't it, though?

[Guest SI Metman]

7 late May/early June games against Arizona added in.

[G-Fafif]

FYI, the Marlins are having 2006 Magnetic Schedule Day on Sunday, not a badly timed promotion if you think about it (except that it probably has the Marlins' schedule on it).

[Guest SI Metman]

Marlins posted their schedule today, as did the Padres.

[Elster88]

A west coast trip in April? Not good times.

Actually, as crappy as the weather is in April in the Northeast, a trip to where the weather is nice could help avoid some rainouts.

[seawolf17]

Get one of the West Coast trips out of the way early. I'm down with that.

[Guest SI Metman]

an article in today's Washington Post gave away the rest of the Mets-Nats games in DC for those who want to plan a roadtrip.

Toronto released their sched, and by process of elimination, Baltimore can be added into the other series.

[Guest SI Metman]

9 games against the Bucs added.

Only missing: Braves, Cubs, Cards and a Colorado series at Shea.
