They will be frequent fliers

Four West Coast journeys in 2007

By Gordon Edes, Globe Staff | July 27, 2006

 

It's all unofficial -- teams have been sent the draft of the schedule, but it still can be tweaked -- but the Red Sox are scheduled to make four trips to the West Coast next season, which is double the number they are making this season.

 

The Sox, who just finished a six-game trip to Seattle and Oakland, have a nine-game swing through Anaheim, Seattle, and Oakland Aug. 22-30.

 

The extra trips next season are a consequence of interleague play -- the Sox will be playing teams in the National League West and are scheduled to go to Arizona to play the Diamondbacks and Los Angeles to play the Dodgers, according to a league source with access to the schedule. The source was not certain if a trip to San Diego to play the Padres was also in the offing.

 

The Sox have yet to play a regular-season game in Arizona, and have not been to Dodger Stadium since 2002, when they were swept in a three-game series. They took two of three against the Padres in San Diego in 2002.

 

In 2004, the last time the Sox played NL West teams, they traveled to Colorado and San Francisco. The Rockies and Giants are scheduled for visits to Boston.

 

The season-opening series, the source said, will take place in Minnesota against the Twins.

 

No word yet on who will be 2007's first visitor to Yankee Stadium.

 

Im sure Youk of the Nation is happy with the Rox coming to Boston next year.

 

Opening at the Metrodome, huh, a stadium the Sox dont have the best luck (TYPO). What a sweet opening day matchup we'll probably see.. Schilling vs Santana

[jsinger121]

Sox will likely lose the opening series with Santana and Liriano on the mound.

Let's concentrate on the season we're on please. Barry Bonds to Fenway could be intresting.

[riverside sluggers]

nothing wrong with posting this for everyone to see

[Cocos Disciples]

No I know, I find it intresting, but we gotta win this one first.

[Sox fan in Tex]

Another year not opening the season at home. Another thing: Four west coast trips? Wow! Thanks for posting, riverside.

[riverside sluggers]

Anyone know when was the last time the Sox had an opening day at Fenway Park?

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yes! Rockies are coming to Fenway!

[DUSTINMOHR4LIFE]

wasnt it when they played the blue jays a couple years back

[DirtDog]

I wish the Dodgers came here instead of us going out west. A homecoming for Nomar. I'd love to go to that game.

Yup, 2002.

me too...me and him have a lot to discuss

i have questions for him

 

i wanted to ask him how he could sit in the dugout and refuse to pinch hit in that friday nite game in yankee stadium while jetsey was bleeding,we were battling and it was one of the greatest games ever played

 

id also like to ask him how he feels about a 60M/5yr deal now

 

i also want to know if his ego is bruised because we won the world series 3 months after dumping his manic depressive/compulsive disordered ass

 

all that talent

all the goodwill the people of boston had for this guy and he became a sullen,miserable west coast ********** who got what he deserved

[Cocos Disciples]

Let it alllll out brotha.

[DirtDog]

i miss nomey i wish he wasn't a douchebag

[Soxfan1]

Let's concentrate on the season we're on please. Barry Bonds to Fenway could be intresting.

As a member of a al team.

[Anuj09]

didnt Bonds say he was retiring ?

[yankeessuck013]

no on mlb.com he said he would be coming back next year.

[Cocos Disciples]

As a member of a al team.

 

Maybe, but either way, he's coming.

[Anuj09]

any hints as to where he wants to go ?

[Cocos Disciples]

I've heard Angels.
