Soxfest Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Here's the White Sox's tentative 2008 home schedule. I stress that this is tentative, but in a season like 2007, there's nothing wrong with looking ahead to next year: April 7-10: MINNESOTA April 11-13: DETROIT April 14-15: OAKLAND April 22-24: NEW YORK YANKEES April 25-28: BALTIMORE May 6-8: MINNESOTA May 20-22: CLEVELAND May 23-25: LOS ANGELES ANGELS June 3-5: KANSAS CITY June 6-8: MINNESOTA June 13-15: COLORADO June 17-19: PITTSBURGH June 27-29: CHICAGO CUBS June 30-July 2: CLEVELAND July 3-6: OAKLAND July 18-20: KANSAS CITY July 21-23: TEXAS August 5-7: DETROIT August 8-11: BOSTON August 12-14: KANSAS CITY August 18-20: SEATTLE August 22-24: TAMPA BAY September 5-7: LOS ANGELES ANGELS September 8-11: TORONTO September 12-14: DETROIT September 26-28: CLEVELAND What a terrible draw in Colorado and Pittsburgh for interleague play this has to be the worst in MLB. How many years in a row are we playing the Pirates. JR go ahead a charge your great premium seat charge for those games good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSoxfan1986 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I've had enough with interleague play. If they want us to have 3 games against the Cubs every year, that's fine. But the Pirates three years in a row??????????? You have to be f***ing kidding me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StatManDu Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I like interleague play. I like the idea of seeing Colorado -- a team that we don't see (in the regular season!) that often. I do agree with the above exasperation over the Pirates. Maybe MLB should allow a team like the White Sox to have two natural rivals. Give us one series with the Brewers every year instead of one with the Pirates. I don't think anyone would mind seeing the Angels visit just once in order to sub the Brewers. As for the Brewers, their natural rival is the Twins. I don't think they would mind one series against the Twins and one against the Sox. Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would have played the Brewers up in Miller Park instead of the Pirates. Closer to my neck of the woods (Rd Lake) and that park is really fun to go to.

29andPoplar Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) Goddamn, I'd love to see the Sox at Chavez Ravine. It's a great place and interestingly Dodger Stadium is now one of the oldest parks in baseball. Let's see, after Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium go by the wayside at the end of 2008, which parks are older? Wrigley and Fenway, I think that's it. Actually, thinking about it, Dodger Stadium predates Shea anyways. Dodger Stadium was 1962 and Shea 1964.

Interesting. And I am sure MLB has some influence. Its not like they just say OK, pick a few teams to play each other. They have requests I am quite sure, as to what interleague teams play each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29andPoplar Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Is Yankmee stadium worth a trip? Yes of course, it's baseball history. It is cramped, the seats are uncomfortable, the corridors are dark and damp but if you have an appreciation for old ballparks go see it. Or you could wait until new Yankee Stadium opens the following year. Either way NYC is worth a visit without question. Maybe if you can't get to a game in person, take a tour of Yankee Stadium, it goes behind the scenes, you get to visit Monument Park out past CF, very interesting. Also if you are near the top and are able to look west across the Hudson River at 158th Street you will see the former site of the Polo Grounds. I went with my old college roommate on an NIU alumni trip for an overniter to see the Sox/Yankees and we checked out the old Polo Grounds site, it is a bunch of high rise low to middle income housing buildings but there are a couple of placques and markers and such. Also there is an old staircase coming down from the subway station and street at the top of Coogans Bluff, it is the same staircase people used to use to walk down to the Polo Grounds ticket office and main entrance. I was never much into that kind of stuff but it was kind of interesting to walk around and think that once there was a venue which hosted all sorts of prominent sporting events. Also you can take the subway over to Brooklyn and see where Ebbets Field was, it too is a bunch of apartment buildings and there is one small sign on one of the buildings which says it is where the ballpark was. And then you turn around and get back on the subway and go back to Manhattan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Is there a website that has the Yankees and the Red Sox home schedule, i'm going to Yankeee Stadium and Fenway Park next summer and the sooner I can plan ahead, the better.

29andPoplar Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 San Fran in May? Yuk, windy, chilly and rainy probably. Where exactly will the new Yankee stadium stand? Los, the new Yankee Stadium is being built right now. The foundation is placed and the skeleton is going up, it is located directly across the street, to the north, of the current Yankee Stadium. From what I read, some of the current Yankee Stadium will be saved, in the form of a park and possibly some architectural elements staying in place. That will play out over the next 12-15 months.

On the Sox schedule should be a rotation of (always the Cubs) St. Louis, Milwaukee, and possibil Cincy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
