Rays 2010 Schedule Posted

The Tampa Bay Rays released their 2010 schedule today. I normally don't study the schedule too much before the season. Baseball isn't like the NFL where you can start making predictions based on next year's schedule.

 

With that being said, here are some of the things I noticed on first glance:

 

• The Rays start 2010 at home on April 6th against the Baltimore Orioles. Not a bad way to start the season, although they play 6 of their first 9 against the O's. I'd much rather face them at the end of the season.

• Long west coast road trip in May. The Rays play 3 @Seattle, 3 @Oakland, 3 @LA from May 4th to May 12th. They get one day off before returning home for a 3 game set against Seattle.

•  Speaking of May, the Rays only get 2 off days. In fact, they play ever day from May 14th to June 2nd.

• The Rays get to face the Boston Red Sox each month of the season.

 

The big thing now is for the Rays to finish 2009 strong, so that we actually have something to look forward to next year.
