一些重点： 原来今年四月的赛程会这样是因为教宗阿！ 因为他要在4月20日於洋基球场主持一场弥撒 在那之前总要有些准备时间，所以把赛程弄成这样.... 可是就像Johnny 说的那为何还要16.17还回家跟红袜打两场比赛呢？ 四月赛程主客场如下： 主场：4.2～4.7, 4.16~4.17, 4.29~4.30 客场：4.8~4.10(@KC), 4.11~4.13(@BOS), 4.14~4.15(@TB) 4.18~4.20(@BAL),4.22~4.24(@CWS), 4.25~4.28(@CLE) OFFDAY: 4.1, 4.21 这样使得4.11,4.14,4.16,4.29这几天球队抵达比赛地将会是在比赛当天抵达 其实会有这麽残酷的赛程，原因有二： 1. 教宗 2. 比较早开始的球季，明星赛前，休息天数不能超过10天 ， 而通常明星赛在第15周，今年在第16周，使得比赛被移到明星赛前 原来四月的第三个星期就是排很满的，要打三个系列赛... 总教练、Johnny, Moose都说这是他们看过最糟的四月赛程 原本大联盟负责排赛程的人，不想有两天的series 但是因为弥撒的关系导致赛程这麽排 Jason Giambi开玩笑说：也许这是为什麽我们跑这麽多的原因 开季不能用4人轮值 Moose有个应付这个赛程的办法： 「我大概会准备四个行李箱，回家把两个放下，再拿两个走」 Yanks not blessed by April schedule Thursday, March 06, 2008 BY ED PRICE Star-Ledger Staff TAMPA, Fla. -- Blame Benedict. Not ex-Atlanta Braves catcher Bruce Benedict, but Pope Benedict XVI. The Yankees' April schedule is "terrible," as general manager Brian Cashman said yesterday, and it will affect the roster decisions they make in spring training. After an eight-day, seven-game homestand, the Yankees spend 19 of the next 21 days on the road -- the only exception a two-game series against the Boston Red Sox. The Yankees are scheduled to play 18 road games in April, which would be a franchise record. Traditionally, teams get extra off days in April. But this year the Yankees have a stretch of 19 consecutive days with a game, April 2-20. "It's pretty stupid," Johnny Damon said. "Every year it doesn't make sense. We come home for two days. It's brutal. We're gone for seven, come home for two, gone for 10. Why even come home?" There are a two main reasons for the brutality: The Pope. The original schedule had a more balanced April. But after it was completed, Pope Benedict scheduled an April 20 mass at Yankee Stadium. So some Yankees home games were flipped to accommodate the event and its preparation. An unusually early start to the season. The Basic Agreement allows teams no more than 10 off days before the All-Star break. But the All-Star break this year is in the 16th week of the season instead of the usual 15th. So some games were moved to the first half of the season, and many teams have only two off days in April. The third week of April is baseball's "squeeze week," when teams have to play three series instead of two. Katy Feeney, Major League Baseball's senior vice president for scheduling and club relations, said MLB tries to avoid any team having a two-game trip or two-game homestand because of it. But the Pope's visit fouled that up, causing a two-day homestand between two three-city trips and Damon's consternation. "That is a little bit unusual," Feeney said. "But you can't just flip-flop series and make everything right." Yankees pitcher Mike Mussina said the worst aspect of the April schedule is six night "getaway" games, series-ending games after which the team flies to another city. So they will arrive in the wee hours in Boston on April 11 (from Kansas City), in Tampa Bay on April 14 (from Boston) home from Tampa Bay on April 16 and home from Cleveland on April 29. Manager Joe Girardi said he can't remember being on a team that played 19 straight days in April. The Yankees will have to be ready to go. "Maybe that's the reason why we're running so much," Jason Giambi said. Because of the schedule, the Yankees are almost certain to open the season with 12 pitchers. They won't be able to open with a four-man rotation, as has happened in some years, and with starters not having established their endurance, relievers who can throw multiple innings will be valuable. "You have to be deep in pitching," Girardi said. And Girardi hopes to give his regulars time off in the opening month. "I think that's what he's really planning on doing," Giambi said. "He's going to make a really conscious effort to really get guys days (off) here and there." Giambi said the tough April schedule could a "blessing in disguise." If it forces Girardi to rest players early in the season, the veterans could be fresher than usual late in the year. According to Giambi, rest early in the year was the reason behind the charges Giambi's Oakland teams usually made in the second half. Meanwhile, Mussina has an idea how to cope. "Maybe I'll pack four suitcases," he said, "come home, drop off two, grab two more and go." Ed Price may be reached at [email protected] http://tinyurl.com/2mgcw3 --
