Time Changes for 2011 and News About 2012

[bmfc1]

August 20 to 4:05 and September 11 to 8:05. Another game on a Sunday night rather than Sunday afternoon, plus it's against the Jets opener, and of course, now ESPN and Bobby V. can talk about 9-11.

it might be against the Jets opener you mean. (not that that matters, meaningless Mets baseball over any Jets/football game, always)

[bmfc1]

And in 2012, Red Sox @ Mets, June 15-17:

Oh good, so we get 9 games against the Yanx & Sawx while we'll probably see the Phils & Braves double-up on the O's & Jays and some team we'll be competing against in the WC race fattens up on some AL Central squad.

Such as the LaRussas who will have their usual six games against the Royals.

And the Nationals will have their usual games against the Orioles.

[bmfc1]

In '12, Mets @ Tampa; Baltimore @ Mets.

[bmfc1]

It's 2012 Schedule Release Day!

[HahnSolo]

No Sawx.

[HahnSolo]

Also, 13 of first 16 games vs. Braves, Phils, Giants.

And like this year, two early trips to Citizens Bank.

[Benjamin Grimm]

So in addition to the home-away series vs. the Yankees, the Mets IL play involves trips to Toronto and Tampa, and a visit from the Orioles.

In MFY Stadium on my bday, ugh.

Thinking of hitting Frisco in late July!

[Guest sharpie]

Might hit SF then too. My daughter lives there so I go every year. Might as well go then.

[bmfc1]

The White Sox are still afraid to play the Mets in New York.

[HahnSolo]

August 17 at the Nats might be a target for the Solos. Hitting a beach house if all goes to plan on the 18th. We could stop in DC a day early.

Yella Sox.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Party at Doc Tee's.

One potential vacation destination for us next summer is the Grand Canyon. I can see us trying to time that trip, if it happens, with the Mets visit to Phoenix in late July.

A jaunt in May to Toronto might also be fun.

[HahnSolo]

From ESPNs David Schoenfeld:

Red Sox interleague series: Phillies, Nationals, Marlins (2), Cubs, Braves. Yankees: Reds, Braves (2), Mets (2), Nationals. Rays: Braves, Marlins (2), Mets, Nationals, Phillies. The Braves play six interleague series and get the Yankees twice and the Red Sox. The Phillies play five interleague series and get the Red Sox but not the Yankees.

I like that someone else in our division (Atlanta) gets 6 games with the MFYs. I also like that Florida gets 6 games each with Tampa and Boston.

[bmfc1]

Good point Hahn Solo. The Braves "strength of schedule" might be as high as the Mets.

Rubin tweeted today that the Red Sox @ Mets was on a draft version but not on the final. I wonder what replaced it.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd like it if the teams in our division got more National League games, but I think that ship has sailed in the minds of Bud and MLB.

Cincinnati series in mid June. They come in twice next year. first is a two game set in May. So they play the Reds 8 times.

Mest only have the 15 IL games, getting the NL only series this year.

[TransMonk]

So, eight games against Cincy, but only five (!?!) against Milwaukee? MLB's divisions and scheduling are a joke.

If I haven't said so lately, I hate interleague play.

[Ceetar]

I like interleague, disappointed that the only non-Yank home series is the Orioles.
