Calling Mr. May!

May 2006 looks to be tough for the Yankees - according to some reports on an early look at the 2006 schedule.

8 games against Boston.
6 games against Texas (and Buck Showalter).
And 3 games each against the Mets and Oakland.

Last season, the Yankees went 17-10 in May - and still had a bad (for them) overall first half record (42-39).

It's still not 100% clear as to who the Yankees will be playing in April 2006. Nonetheless, whatever teams they may be facing, it's probably pretty important to get off to a good start in 2006 and have a little wiggle room with that May schedule (for next year).

Is that two home and home 4-game series vs. Boston?

I'm not scared of Texas and I'm not scared of Buck. Buck is the Bill Parcells of baseball - growing more insignificant each day and annoying beyond words.
