2006 Summer Break?

I was just looking at the 2006 schedule for the Yankees.

And, MLB is giving the Yankees the day off after the All-Star break. So, for the week of July 9th, the Yanks will be off Monday through Thursday.

That seems so odd. It will almost be like a week without baseball - in the middle of July.

The White Sox, who play the Yankees in New York after the break, have the same day off. Why not play a game then that day? Very strange.

Oh great, so the Yankees will have to play one more game at the end of the season than the Red Sox (or so I assume.) It'd be nice to have that day in the last half of September, either to rest & set up the rotation or to fit in a rainout.
