Season starts April 5th for the Jays in Cleveland and first home series is April 9th against the Red Sox.

The second half of the season looks really tough for the Jays. Especially September.

Interleague play includes home series against the Mets/Nationals/Phillies and away against the Brewers/Braves/Marlins.

Don't forget that they announced their 2012 Championship Season. They're not messing around for next year.

i like how the schedule is (even more) back-loaded with the AL east. greater chance we'll be in a race come that time granted necessary acquisitions are made in the off-season.

Next year is going to be an exciting September

Yikes. From August 7 until the end of the season, the Jays have 13 games against New York (6 road), 10 against Tampa (6 road), and 7 against Boston (4 road). That is 30 games against the three best teams in the AL in a 52 game stretch. In fact, 36 of their 77 second half games will be against New York, Boston, and Tampa.

They better have a damn good first half next season.

Every team calls it this.

every team calls it a Championship Season, as in it’s a race to a championship for somebody. To put things in perspective, even the Houston Astros call it this.

Or it just means that the entire division is up for grabs in that last month or 2...so everyone can take first. I think it will make things exciting!
