Major League Baseball released the 2010 schedule today.
Highlights of the Red Sox 2010 season include opening the year at Fenway Park against New York Yankees (April 5, 7, and 8), playing the first game ever at Minnesota's new Target Field (April 12), home stand against the Los Angeles Dodgers of Los Angeles (June 18, 19, and 20) and six of their final ten games against the Yankees.
cough cough.
I'm sorry, let me repeat that: six of their final ten games against the Yankees.
Wow, you think MLB is trying to keep the AL East Championship (and thus the AL Wild Card, as well) exciting until the last minute?
