Sox Announce 2009 Schedule

They're still working on 2008, but the Red Sox have unveiled their 2009 schedule. They'll open with an ALCS rematch against Tampa Bay at Fenway before heading out West. They haven't opened at home in seven years, so bundle up, kids. The old interleague home-and-home with Atlanta is back on the menu, along with home series against Florida and the Mets, and road trips to Philly and Washington (the first meaningful Sox games in DC since 1971). Tickets are probably already available from your neighborhood scalper.
