Hello. I hope to comment more on the schedule later this week (busy today), but here’s the preliminary schedule with some thoughts.
– There are 13 Saturday home games. Will there be 10/5 15 game plans? Will Dave hook us up with a 13/2?
– I am totally going to try to hit the SF-SD pairing at the start of August

I thought they were supposed to play the red six next year.
Bill they were in the original draft….I know the Sox were not supposed to play the Cubs but now they are – maybe that’s where that series went.
