Sucky Scheduling

I just posted this as a comment to a Pirates fan who was B***ing about the Pirates interleague schedule. The next month on the cubs schedule really has me just a tad bit worried. And they still haven't gotten to the real emotional series' against the Cardinals which are always draining for me. I don't know how the players do it!.

----A couple things to say:
A. The schedule will never be "Fair" it just can't be.
B. Every year, the interleague schedule is as such: Usually two series' against Regional rivals, one home and one away. Then 2-3 more Serie's against a given division. This year the NL Central is matched up against the NL East. Yes, away against yankees and Sox is not a great draw, but any time you get the Devil Rays is almost like beign given 3 games, and I believe you also just complained about "Having" to play Colorado again.
C. I noticed you picked the Reds and Phillies as Comparison teams. Had you checked out the Cub's schedule you would have found a similar situation to the Bucs.
They've Got 1 home series vs. Blue jays. Above .500
1 Home series against Sox. Above .500
1 Away series against Yankees, (honestly I think both our teams just got Immensly lucky that they drew the Yanks this of all years.
Oh, and by the way, the Cubs "regional rival" happens to be the Best team in Baseball this year. The White Sox.
So every one of their interleage games will come against either a Contending team, or In Yankee stadium. YOu wanna check out schedule unfairness, go to this site http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/schedule/index.jsp?c_id=chc and check out the cubs schedule between now and the all star break.

You wanna really investigate something. You and I should both be asking why the NL central teams drew the AL east only 2 years after they had them before. '03. Maybe its because most of the Central teams "regional rivals" are in the AL central so they take care of it that way, but it still seems fishy. ----
