With the Astros moving to the AL West, 2013 creates a very interesting year for MLB. They will now have at least 1 interleague game per day, and all 6 divisions have 5 teams for the first time. For the Sox, they have a very widespread schedule. They start next season where they end this season, at Yankee Stadium, and continue with a series on the road against the Blue Jays before coming home to play the O's and 4 on Patriot's Day Weekend with the Rays, before playing the Guardians on the road, and coming home for a 10 game home stand with 3 against the Royals and A's, and then 4 with the Astros.

Here is the list of NL Parks that the Sox go to in 2013:

Phillies

Giants

Dodgers

Rockies

 

Sox also play Phillies and Rockies plus Padres and Diamondbacks at home.

Sox also play 19 games against division rivals. This means:

10 in New York, 9 at home

9 in Toronto, 10 at home

9 in Tampa, 10 at home

10 in Baltimore, 9 at home.

 

Looks tough.

Other than the fact that I get to see the Red Sox play at Dodger Stadium for the first time since 2002, the new schedule sucks.

I've had my fill of the interleague stuff. They should end it for a decade or so until it becomes a novelty again.

 

Bud Selig is the master of gimmickry. Interleague games-check. All-Star game decides World Series home field-check. Wild card one-game playoffs-check.

Tradition? -- nah

It ruined the All Star game and a bit of the uniqueness to the World Series. Then Selig had an aneurysm when the All Star game ran out of pitchers, so they decided to screw with home field advantage.

 

Let's contract the Twins, but not the Brewers. Right, Bud?

 

What a dink.

I was hoping they would go to Atlanta so I could go see where I spent most of my childhood again. Oh well.

Didn't go to the exhibition games in 08?

 

I went to all three games, but exhibition baseball doesn't count in my book.

The schedule definitely isn't easy on the eyes, however if the Sox can manage to do well with that schedule that will help them in the playoffs. None the less I don't even want to look that far ahead. But I always welcome tough schedules.
