For the Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox, next year is already here. Both teams released their tentative 2008 schedules yesterday, which include several interesting match ups and road trips.
The two Chicago teams will square off in back-to-back weekend series in June. For the past few seasons, the two series have been separated by several weeks.
The White Sox open their 2008 campaign on the road on March 31 against the defending AL Central champion Cleveland Indians. They open at home a week later against the Twins and Tigers. The Sox also finish the season with a series at home against the Indians.
The Cubs open the season at home for the first time in seven years on March 31 against their NL Central rivals Milwaukee Brewers. They will also end the season facing Milwaukee at Miller Park on Sept. 28.
As for Interleague play, there could be some interesting match ups. Mark your calendar for June 13-15 when the Sox host the Colorado Rockies at the Cell while the Cubs travel to Toronto to play the Blue Jays. The Sox also face Pittsburgh at home and the Dodgers and Giants on the road. The Cubs host the Baltimore Orioles and visit Lou Piniella’s former team, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Mind you, these schedules are tentative and may change.
