Braves Announce Tentative 2009 Schedule

PrintThis is the earliest I can remember the schedule for the next season coming out. I thought it usually came out after the world series and during the winter. Anyhow, it's out already. Our interleague schedule is rough next season:
The Braves play a total of five interleague series, with three of the series coming at home against the Toronto Blue Jays (May 22-24), the New York Yankees (June 23-25), who will be making their first visit to Atlanta since 2000, and the Boston Red Sox (June 26-28). The Braves’ American League road opponents include the Baltimore Orioles (June 12-14) and the Red Sox (June 19-21).
Wow. They should be exciting series, but they will be challenging. Here is a link to the 2009 schedule.

I just posted something about this too, that i just deleted, but this is what I wrote:
The season looks to start a week later than normal, but subsequentially end deeper into October. One way or the other, we’re playing in cooler weather at some point.
Interestingly, the ever-baffling Interleague scheduling continues to make little sense next season either, as the Braves play only AL East squads, and no strange oddities like randomly having to play the Tigers or anything resembling playing teams with similar placing in their divisions.
Like last year, I’m sure we’ll hear Chipper Jones voice his opinion about Interleague again based on the following:
May Home Series: Toronto Blue Jays
Road Series: Baltimore Orioles
Road Series: Boston Red Sox
Home Series: New York Yankees
Home Series: Boston Red Sox
It’s safe to say the Ted will “sell-out” at least six times this season, with the Yankees and Red Socks coming to town. At least we somehow manage to avoid the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, because they could very well still be good by then, and names like Halladay and Burnett might not be in the equasion. The concept of the “Natural Rivalries” are as erratic as my thoughts here, but where as there’s a Mets/Yankees, Nationals/Orioles, Cubs/White Sox series every year, we somehow get paired with our “natural rivals,” the Boston Red Sox on an every-other-year basis.
Thankfully we do not end the season with the Houston Astros again, and we get to play out the last games at home, but Washington-Florida-Washington isn’t exactly going to be bringing down the houses. Always more fun to have to pair with the Mets or Phillies in that last week to stir up the playoff pictures a little more than could be done 2-3 weeks prior to season’s end.
It’s all tentative, and based on the happenings of this season, may or may not yet be of any interest, but it is something to talk about. And for people like me, it opens the doors to begin looking at away games in new cities that I’d possibly like to tackle.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

At Turner Field, they’re already plugging the hell out of the Red Sox and Yankees series, and saying that you need to “register” for a chance to buy those tickets. As if. . . none of us wouldn’t be able to walk to the ticket booth day-of, and just buy something.
