Pirates schedule - some details

Sounds like we'll face the AL East this year in interleague. Details here. More EST games means I won't have to stay up SOOOOOO late to find out if our closer was able to seal the victory.

...full schedule here. Flying all the way out to San Diego for four games, then back to Milwaukee and home in week one? That might be tough but they get to stay in the area for the next few weeks. In early May, here's a brutal road trip: ten days of Houston - Arizona - San Francisco.

What else to note about the early weeks. A third of the home dates are day games. Very nice.

Looking further ahead. Because we are matched up against the AL East in interleague, there are very few games starting later than 8pm central ... that will be good for ticket sales I'd guess. I remember more than a few "black holes" in 2004 when the Bucs were more or less disappearing from local consciousness into stretches of 10pm starts.

The more I look at the schedule, the more I like it. The Bucs should win 95 games no problem.
