Partial 2008 schedule

SI Metman Oct 10 2007 04:10 PM Edited 5 time(s), most recently on Nov 09 2007 11:04 PM

This is the Mets 2008 schedule so far, 108 out of the 162 games that were released by other teams or inferred from news articles. schedule quirks: - Mets get extra road series in Colorado during interleague - based on Yankees and Mets schedules pieced together, May series and June series home field might finally swap - Mets do not have a day off after home opener, will probably open up on a Tuesday. - Texas makes first and last visit to Shea. - Mets will be traveling to the Mountain or Pacific time zone on 4 consecutive road trips but 0 times after the All Star Break -They may still open Washington's new ballpark on Sunday March 30th, so April 1 is not set in stone as Opening Day (although 90% of the teams open up on March 31st) * denotes unconfirmed but probable opponent Tue April 1 @ Florida (Opening Day? Or 3/30 @ Washington) Wed April 2 @ Florida Thur April 3 @ Florida Fri April 4 @ Atlanta Sat April 5 @ Atlanta Sun April 6 @ Atlanta Mon April 7 OFF DAY Tue April 8 vs. Philly 1:10 PM (Home Opener) Wed April 9 vs. Philly Thur April 10 vs. Philly Fri April 11 vs. Milwaukee Sat April 12 vs. Milwaukee Sun April 13 vs. Milwaukee vs. Washington Fri April 18 @ Philly Sat April 19 @ Philly Sun April 20 @ Philly Mon April 21 @ Chicago Tue April 22 @ Chicago @ Washington Fri April 25 vs. Atlanta Sat April 26 vs. Atlanta Sun April 27 vs. Atlanta Mon April 28 vs. Pittsburgh Tue April 29 vs. Pittsburgh Wed April 30 vs. Pittsburgh Thur May 1 OFF DAY Fri May 2 @ Arizona Sat May 3 @ Arizona Sun May 4 @ Arizona Mon May 5 @ LA Tue May 6 @ LA Wed May 7 @ LA Thur May 8 OFF DAY Fri May 9 vs. Cincinnati Sat May 10 vs. Cincinnati Sun May 11 vs. Cincinnati vs. Washington *Fri May 16 @ NYY *Sat May 17 @ NYY *Sun May 18 @ NYY Mon May 19 OFF DAY Tue May 20 @ Atlanta Wed May 21 @ Atlanta Thur May 22 @ Atlanta Fri May 23 @ Colorado Sat May 24 @ Colorado Sun May 25 @ Colorado Mon May 26 vs. Florida (Memorial Day) Tue May 27 vs. Florida Wed May 28 vs. Florida Thur May 29 vs. LA Fri May 30 vs. LA Sat May 31 vs. LA Sun June 1 vs. LA Mon June 2 @ SF Tue June 3 @ SF Wed June 4 @ SF Thur June 5 @ SD Fri June 6 @ SD Sat June 7 @ SD Sun June 8 @ SD Mon June 9 OFF DAY Tue June 10 vs. Arizona Wed June 11 vs. Arizona Thur June 12 vs. Arizona Fri June 13 vs. Texas Sat June 14 vs. Texas Sun June 15 vs. Texas Mon June 16 @ LAA Tue June 17 @ LAA Wed June 18 @ LAA Thur June 19 OFF DAY Fri June 20 @ Colorado Sat June 21 @ Colorado Sun June 22 @ Colorado Mon June 23 vs. Seattle Tue June 24 vs. Seattle Wed June 25 vs. Seattle Thur June 26 OFF DAY *Fri June 27 vs. NYY *Sat June 28 vs. NYY *Sun June 29 vs. NYY Mon June 30 @ St Louis Tue July 1 @ St Louis Wed July 2 @ St Louis Thur July 3 @ St Louis Fri July 4 @ Philly Sat July 5 @ Philly Sun July 6 @ Philly Mon July 7 @ Philly vs. SF vs. Colorado Mon July 14 OFF DAY Tue July 15 All Star Game @ Yankee Stadium Wed July 16 OFF DAY Thur July 17 @ Cincinnati Fri July 18 @ Cincinnati Sat July 19 @ Cincinnati Sun July 20 @ Cincinnati Mon July 21 vs. Philly Tue July 22 vs. Philly Wed July 23 vs. Philly Thur July 24 OFF DAY Fri July 25 vs. St Louis Sat July 26 vs. St Louis Sun July 27 vs. St Louis Mon July 28 @ Florida Tue July 29 @ Florida Wed July 30 @ Florida Thur July 31 OFF DAY Fri Aug 1 @ Houston Sat Aug 2 @ Houston Sun Aug 3 @ Houston Mon Aug 4 OFF DAY Tue Aug 5 vs. SD Wed Aug 6 vs. SD Thur Aug 7 vs. SD Fri Aug 8 vs. Florida Sat Aug 9 vs. Florida Sun Aug 10 vs. Florida @ Washington Fri Aug 15 @ Pittsburgh Sat Aug 16 @ Pittsburgh Sun Aug 17 @ Pittsburgh Mon Aug 18 @ Pittsburgh Tue Aug 19 vs. Atlanta Wed Aug 20 vs. Atlanta Thur Aug 21 vs. Atlanta Fri Aug 22 vs. Houston Sat Aug 23 vs. Houston Sun Aug 24 vs. Houston Mon Aug 25 vs. Houston Tue Aug 26 @ Philly Wed Aug 27 @ Philly Thur Aug 28 OFF DAY Fri Aug 29 @ Florida Sat Aug 30 @ Florida Sun Aug 31 @ Florida Mon Sept 1 @ Milwaukee (Labor Day) Tue Sept 2 @ Milwaukee Wed Sept 3 @ Milwaukee Thur Sept 4 OFF DAY Fri Sept 5 vs. Philly Sat Sept 6 vs. Philly Sun Sept 7 vs. Philly vs. Washington Fri Sept 12 vs. Atlanta Sat Sept 13 vs. Atlanta Sun Sept 14 vs. Atlanta @ Washington Fri Sept 19 @ Atlanta Sat Sept 20 @ Atlanta Sun Sept 21 @ Atlanta Mon Sept 22 vs. Chicago Tue Sept 23 vs. Chicago Wed Sept 24 vs. Chicago Thur Sept 25 vs. Chicago Fri Sept 26 vs. Florida Sat Sept 27 vs. Florida Sun Sept 28 vs. Florida (SHEA FINALE)

SI Metman--your work on this, year after year, is indispensable. The Mets are always one of the last teams to release their schedule so I really appreciate this effort. You should be given a Nobel Prize.

Gwreck Oct 10 2007 11:15 PM

Thanks. Too bad about the interleague...was hoping the Mets would get a trip to Cleveland (haven't been since 2002) or Baltimore ('01) next year.

Valadius Oct 11 2007 06:00 AM

It seems like we always get stuck with an extra NL series.

Frayed Knot Oct 11 2007 07:01 AM

Nine (or maybe 10?) days in a row to start the season?!? I don't think I've ever seen that before

metirish Oct 11 2007 07:22 AM

IL play this coming season holds very little excitement for me.

We are owed a visit by the White Sox. They will be the only team to never come to Shea to play us.

Phillies are in Cinci that monday on the wraparound of a 4 game series. Mets home opener in line to be a Tuesday this year. Cubbies games also added in. Only a 2 game trip to Wrigley, but Cubs play next to last series at Shea.

SI Metman Oct 17 2007 04:07 PM

nothing new on the schedule, but if you're going to be in Chicago on Tuesday April 21st, you can take in a day/night New York/Chicago DH. Mets will be playing the Cubs, probably in the afternoon (getaway day for both teams). Yanks will be playing the Sox on the South Side (a night game since it's the start of a 3 game midweek series).

SI Metman Oct 23 2007 11:16 AM

Some of the Phillies dates switched around. Astros to Shea dates added and Mets in Anaheim dates confirmed on edit: and Dbacks at Shea in June. Only really need Nats, Cards, and Jints and Rox shea visits which can be plugged in and inferred.

I hope that the Mets don't open the season on Sunday March 30th in the first game at the new Nationals ballpark. That would mean flying from Florida to Washington and then back to Florida to start the season. Not that it's rough for them to travel on charters, but let somebody else do it.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 23 2007 12:08 PM

I hope they DO play that game. I'd like to be able to watch the season opener on Sunday night on TV, rather than watch it on GameCast while sitting at work on a weekday afternoon. I care more about my convenience than I do the Mets players'. Especially after that September they gave me.

G-Fafif Oct 23 2007 03:16 PM

If this schedule holds, 2008 will mark the fourth consecutive May 27 when the Mets play the Marlins. The last three were in Miami.

I'd like to be able to watch the season opener on Sunday night on TV, rather than watch it on GameCast while sitting at work on a weekday afternoon. I care more about my convenience than I do the Mets players'. Especially after that September they gave me. I agree... I enjoyed them starting the season off in St. Louis this past spring. But I also thought that ESPN tends to rotate those season-opening games from year to year and that it'd be unlikely for the Mets to kick off back to back seasons in prime-time.

From today's Daily News: "The Mets are expected to play in the Civil Rights game March 29 in Memphis. Major League Baseball is still considering having the Mets officially open the season the following night at the Nationals' new stadium." That would be two showcase games for the Mets... not bad for a team that didn't make the playoffs. Oh snap!

Edgy DC Oct 24 2007 06:19 AM

Add the Civil Rights Game to the Hall of Fame Game as games that I think should count. I don't think that "showcase" has to equal "exhibition."

SI Metman Nov 09 2007 11:06 PM

more or less a finished product there, Nats schedule hasn't been officially released, but that's where they fit in. Bad news if you want to check out the Mets visit the Nats new digs, you'll have to burn a vacation day (or just leave work early if your name is Edgy), since they don't play any weekend dates there this year.

Rockin' Doc Nov 10 2007 04:25 PM

Just my luck. I will be in Seattle for a conference (June 22-29) next summer and the Mariners will be visiting Shea. At first I misread the schedule and thought the Mets were visiting Seattle while I would be there. Then I noticed that it was the Mets that would be hosting the series. So close and yet so far. To make matters worse, the Mariners are on the road the entire time we will be in Seattle, so I won't get to see any games and add another stadium to the list of those I have visited.

Edgy DC Nov 14 2007 12:45 PM

Papa Benedict will be saying mass at the new Nats statium April 17.

metirish Nov 14 2007 12:49 PM

Boston and Oakland open up the season in Japan for a two game series March 25/26, Sox are home team.

Edgy DC Nov 14 2007 12:51 PM

Maybe I can get at outdoor wedding incorporated into the mass.
