2008 tentative home schedule is out

and it's pretty bad, although not "no weekend home series vs. Red Sox or Yankees" bad. The Jays have 3 wraparound series, all in the first two months. Also, the Jays only face the Rangers twice at home, although considering how they seem to have our number, maybe that's a blessing in disguise.

An interesting feature is that Monday September 22nd is an off day between home series (vs. the Red Sox and Yankees). Hopefully that won't get used for a one game road trip to make out a game rained out elsewhere, because an off day at home that's not a travel day should be highly beneficial. Also, it comes in the middle of a 9 game homestand.

Some more tentative schedules are out

and once again the Jays play in Seattle on Canada Day. I like this, because it gives Jays fans in the Vancouver area a chance to see the Jays live on a day off. (Someone wrote in to Griffin complaining, but all he knew was that the Jays weren't at home, not that they were at Seattle.) Of course, this year Canada Day was on a Sunday, meaning there was already a weekend giving the fans a day off. Next year it's a Tuesday evening game. I'm sure the Seattle front office likes that part of the schedule too, since it gives an attendance boost compared to what the matchup would otherwise draw.
