Seattle Mariners - 2008

Safeco Seating

SCHEDULE FROM HELL, NO JUST MLB

The Mariners flew 51,000 miles in 2007, they will be over 55,000 in 2008 with three trips to New York before the All-Star break, two to play the Yankees and one for an interleague series against the Mets. Only three of their 12 road trips are three-city trips, mostly to the Pacific and Central time zones. In May, the Mariners travel for three games in Texas, come home for three games at Safeco, and then immediately leave on a road trip to Detroit and New York. Their first trip of the season, opens with three games at Baltimore, April 4-7. With no more games in Baltimore scheduled during the season, they fear a repeat of last year's Cleveland disaster. The Mariners and Indians had a four-game series snowed out in April. Because the two teams had no more scheduled games in Cleveland, the Mariners were required to make three separate trips to Jacobs Field for makeup games.

"MLB assured us that would never happen again," Spellecy said.
