Yankees & Mets Reveal 2009 Schedules
We know that the 2008 season is basically over for the Yankees, and the Mets are doing everything they can to make sure that they, too, will have a cold October in 2008, but that doesn't mean there is nothing to look forward to in a few months for both ball clubs.
The schedules are out early for the 2009 season. Usually, the schedules are not revealed until late November, but, I guess, with the opening of two new ballparks, the Mets and Yanks couldn't help themselves.
The Bombers will open the "New" Yankee Stadium on April 14 against the Cleveland Indians. The Mets, on the other hand, will open Citi Field on April 13 against the San Diego Padres, not the LA Dodgers, which would have been more fitting, considering Citi Field looks a lot like Ebbets Field, the old home of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
The Yankees open 2009 officially on April 7 in Baltimore, while the Mets start in Cincinnati on April 7. Oddly enough, the season will open a week later than usual.
As for interleague: the Yankees will welcome the Phillies, Nationals and Mets into New Yankee Stadium. The Bombers will also travel to Citi Field to play the Mets and will also visit the Marlins and Braves.
Meanwhile, the Mets will play host to the Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays and will visit the Red Sox and Orioles. The Mets will not see the Blue Jays; instead, they will get an extra series against their former division rivals, the St. Louis Cardinals.
