Sprinkle in some Twins and Royals matchups and we’ve got ourselves a fine Central Stew. There’s a two-gamer in Cincinnati versus the Bauer-less Reds, and the Tony La Russa comeback tour gets a visit from his old friends the Cardinals in Chicago. In an effort to expunge as much exposure to Ohio as quickly as possible, series against Cleveland begin and end the month of May. There’s Dastardly Dane Dunning’s return as the Rangers come to town (Lynn better be lined up for that game) and three separate series against the Cleveland Offensive Stereotypes!Īll but two series are against our Central Cousins (even the inbreds from the NL). Other Notable Series: Opening Day at the GRate is the (hard to believe I’m typing this) eighth consecutive game to start 2021, versus the Royals. Personally, I’m completely for the Sox starting every season where it’s warm or domed, and until Jerry decides his magnum opus is Sox Park III having a retractable roof, I’ll take late-night Opening Days over lake effect snow any time.

You’re DAMN RIGHT IT DIDN’T. Mind you, we were two weeks out from the New Opening Day 2020, and a couple of months past watching Tony Clark and Rob Manfred nearly self-own themselves into no 2020 season at all. Long ago, in the olden times of July 9, MLB and all 30 teams released their proposed, full, 162-game 2021 schedules. And I say this as the man who wrote this very same post for the 2020 Sox campaign, and boy did that turn out to be time well spent, right! With the virtual Hot Stove burning bright and hot to the touch, is it too early to take a sneak peak at the proposed 162-game schedule for the 2021 White Sox? Dear reader, I humbly submit to you that it is most definitely not.
