May 25, 200521 yr I just noticed that too. So we play the Cubs 9 times this season but 6 times on the road?? :blink:
May 25, 200521 yr I noticed this when the schedule was released. I guess MLB enjoyed us playing extra games there so much last season that they figured why not again.
May 25, 200521 yr I think it's because the Cubs are America's team. 782730[/snapback] Yeah now that the Red Sox won it all. Oh well, just another opponent that we are going to have to run over. :whistle
May 25, 200521 yr Intraleague schedules have not been balanced since 1969. Take a closer look at the schedule and you'll notice that all teams have these little quirks in their schedule.
May 25, 200521 yr I didn't know about this until now. The Cubs appear to be the only NL East team that the Marlins play against for more than two times. 782718[/snapback] Since when were the Cubs in the East?
May 25, 200521 yr I'll be at one of them. Wish me luck. I'll probably be the only fish fan there. 782715[/snapback] Well if you are going to the June 13th game, you won't be alone. I live on the west side of Michigan and I will be making the trip down to Wrigley to watch the Marlins beat up on the Cubs.
May 25, 200521 yr The Cubs blow, I'd rather play 6 at Wrigley than have to go to St. Louis or San Diego instead.

May 25, 200521 yr This honor is usually bestowed on the Brew Crew. Guess 5 years of 9 games against Milwaukee was enough for MLB. Better than Pittsburgh.

Hubby is a cub fan so at least I will have a little protection. But it would have been fun to meet an out-of-state fish fan.
May 25, 200521 yr I think it's because there's a percieved "rivalry" between us and you can't evenly split 3 series
May 25, 200521 yr MLB always has to find a way to screw us somehow. 782938[/snapback] You're joking right?
May 25, 200521 yr MLB always has to find a way to screw us somehow. 782938[/snapback] Two words: Wild Card
May 25, 200521 yr Guys relax, we will crush them, consider it batting practice, sharpen up our guns!!
May 25, 200521 yr I don't know but I sure am glad they are going in August, cause I will be going to the series vs the MArlins at Miller park in August and having them at Wrigley right after gives me a chance to go see Wrigley for the first time and see the Marlins. Can;t wait for that weekend to come already....2 games in Miller park then 2 games in Wrigley.
May 25, 200521 yr Intraleague schedules have not been balanced since 1969. Take a closer look at the schedule and you'll notice that all teams have these little quirks in their schedule. 782770[/snapback] That's right. You'll see, next year we'll play 9 against the Cubs, with 6 at home.
