2010 Cubs kick it off in the ATL

[hardcorecubfan]

Interleague is weird. Didn't we just play a series @ TEX in 2007? Shouldn't that mean they come to Wrigley?

 

Ouch...breakdown of our last 22 games: 6 at home, 16 on the road

 

Just one more chance for Vance, Meph and I to see the Cubs.

Are we ever gonna play in Kansas City again?

 

I know. That was one of the first things I looked for. I was hoping for 12+ games in MO next year (selfish reasons), but it's only 6.

 

If I am correct, the Cubs have not played the Royals since 2001 and not in KC since 2000. What gives?

It's like Bud knows I moved here. In all honesty I'm not sure anyone will ever figure out the schedules. One of the main reasons for interleague was for dream matchups. We are what, 11 years in and still haven't played in Boston. The Cubs at Fenway is probably the biggest dream matchup there is.

 

2010 will be the 14th season of interleague. Since the Cubs hadn't been to KC since 2000, I thought that I would get to see a Cubs series in KC before I graduated college. I came to Mizzou in the fall 2006 and will graduate in December 2010. So, of course, they never came to KC. It should be noted that I often see more Cubs memorabilia at the Royals games than the opposing team and/or the Cardinals.

The Cubs/Reds matchups are all weekend series. Three in Cincinnati, two in Chicago.

 

Sounds like the Reds made a plea for more "premium" dates or just got lucky.

Opening Day is the Monday after Easter. I'm off work, so if it's a day game, I'm there for certain.

 

I'm also going to enjoy that weekend series @ Texas.
