The Yankees will open and close the 2010 season against the Red Sox at Fenway Park, just the fifth time in 50 years the rivals both start and finish against each other.Ending there should make for an interesting series, but having the Yankees open up in Boston takes away any real significance those games might have had if they were played at a later date. I've never been a fan of opening the season against Boston - didn't like it in 2005 - in fact I don't really like any kind of April Yankees-Sox games, especially since Boston always seems to play better in April than the Yankees.
Most openers are set for April 5, Major League Baseball said Tuesday, but it seems likely ESPN will shift the Yankees and Red Sox for the Sunday night game April 4. In the past 50 years, the Yankees also opened and closed against Boston in 1960, 1970, 1992 and 2005, according to STATS LLC. The only times they both started and finished in Boston were 1938 and 1950.
It was also announced that the Yankees and Dodgers will play three games in Los Angeles from June 25th-27th.

Why the f are they announcing the schedule now? Why the f do we have to open and close the season at that craphole? (Surely it would be fairer to have one series away and one at home?) Why the f do we have two West Coast trips within six days of each other. Oh yes, of course, we're the New York Yankees and people like to f us about. This schedule sucks.
what kinda f...... schedule is this!
chill out man-
if we have to lose games to boston in boston might as well be in april and not in july or august
can't wait to see Dodgers/Yanks
I can't even think about 2010 right now.
why are they facing the phillies again this year at the stadium?
why can't the Dodgers come into Yankee Stadium?
No idea. That would have been much better.
