NEW SKED BECAUSE THE JULY.23 POSSIBILITY OF A DOUBLE HEADER CAME ABOUT

(BEFORE TRIP-COULD BE USED AS RETROACTIVE INCASE A DOUBLE HEADER SHOULD FALL, ALLOWED BY GUINESS IF I DO NOT SET FOOT IN the same park twice in same streak

MON JULY.20 CHICAGO WHITE SOX AT US CELLULAR FIELD 7:11 PM

COULD BE USED IF I MISS THE WHITE SOX DOUBLE HEADER ON THE 30TH AND I WANTED TO MAKE THE REST OF THE TRIP AND FOREGO THE DOUBLE HEADER GAME OF KC ON THE 6TH FOR A 30-25 RECORD. AT THAT POINT I WOULD ONLY HAVE LA ANGELS AND DODGERS LEFT FOR A DOUBLEHEADER ANYWAY

TUES JULY.21 KANSAS CITY ROYALS AT KAUFFMAN STADIUM.

THE HARDERST DOUBLE HEADER AS PART OF THE AUG.06 CLEVELAND DAY GAME AND A PLANE RIDE TO KANSAS CITY. THIS IS SAFE GUARDING THAT I GET THROUGH THE ENTIRE STREAK AND MISS THAT DOUBLEHEADER THIS GAME WOULD BECOME GAME 1 AND I WOULD HAVE A 30-24 RECORD STILL. THERE IS NO OTHER DAY I COULD MAKE THIS CITY UP DURING THE STREAK.

1ST DAY OF TRIP

FLY IN FROM KANSAS CITY FOR DAY GAME

WED JULY.22 PITTSBURGH PIRATES AT PNC PARK 12:35 PM GAME 1 DAY 1. FLIGHT FROM PIT-DET IS 5:12 AND GETS ME TO DETROIT FOR 6:25. PIT AIRPORT IS 30 MINUTES FROM PNC. COMERICA IS 30 MINUTES FROM DTW. I WILL NEED A QUICK GAME. I WILL USE SEDAN SERVICE TO AND FROM BOTH AIRPORTS

WED JULY.22 DETROIT TIGERS AT COMERICA PARK 7:05 PM GAME 2 DAY 1.

IF I MISS MY FLIGHT OR DO NOT MAKE THIS GAME IN ANY WAY, AND PROVIDED I DO NOT MISS OTHER GAMES THE MAKEUP DATE FOR THIS GAME WOULD BE AUG.14 FOR A 30-24 ATTEMPT STILL. I WOULD DRIVE FROM PITTSBURGH TO DETROIT ON A ONE-WAY CAR RENTAL TO MAKE MY FLIGHT THE NEXT DAY. I WILL POST ANOTHER BLOG ABOUT 'NEAT' TRICKS OF HOW TO MAKE TRAVELLING CHEAPER THAT I FOUND OUT LAST YEAR.


GREYHOUND BUS FROM DETROIT TO TORONTO STATION WHICH IS ONE MILE TO ROGERS CENTRE. AFTER THE GAME IT IS SEDAN SERVICE TO INTERNATIONAL BOUND FLIGHT TO LAGUARDIA. I AM A NEXUS MEMBERS, AS SUCH I BYPASS ALL THE USUAL SECURITY LINES. FLIGHT IS AT 5:15 FOR A 6:30 ARRIVAL. I WILL HAVE 35 MINUTES TO GO THE 5 MILES IN A SEDAN TO MAKE THE FIRST PITCH AT NEW YANKEE STADIUM.

THU JULY.23 TORONTO BLUE JAYS AT ROGERS CENTRE 12:37 GAME 3 DAY 2

THU JULY.23 NEW YORK YANKEES AT YANKEE STADIUM GAME 4 DAY 2

I MAY SWITCH THIS CHC/MIL TO A SATURDAY DOUBLE ATTEMPT STILL WITH COLORADO BEING ON FRIDAY. IF IT REMAINS LIKE THIS I WILL TAKE AN AMTRAK TRAIN FROM MILWAUKEE'S AIRPORT TO CHICAGO BEFORE I TAKE THE SUBWAY TO WRIGLEY FIELD. AFTER THE GAME I WILL TAKE SEDAN SERVICE TO CHICAGO STATION WHERE I WILL BOARD A 5:08 TRAIN TO MILWAUKEE AIRPORT STATION THAT ENDS THERE AT 6:28. I DID THIS LAST YEAR ON MY STREAK WITH THE SAME WEEKDAY/TEAMS AND STARTING TIME. SHOULD I MISS THE MILWAUKEE GAME I CAN MAKE IT UP AUG.14 IF I MISS NONE OTHER DURING THE STrEAK. IF I CHANGE IT TO SAT IT IS A STRAIGHT DRIVE TO BOTH

WED JULY.29 ST.LOUIS CARDINALS AT BUSCH STADIUM 7:15 GAME 11 DAY 8

DISCLAIMER: NEW ADD ON JUNE.29---BECAUSE OF A FLIGHT DATE ERROR I KNOW HAVE TO FLY FROM BALTIMORE TO DAYTON OHIO, I WILL THEN DRIVE 362 MILES TO BUSCH STADIUM AND THEN AFTER THE GAME DRIVE DIRECTLY TO CINCINNATI. THIS IS ACTUALLY BETTER THAN FLYING TO ST.LOUIS TAKING A SHUTTLE DOWNTOWN, WAITING FOR A 3:00 GREYHOUND BUS. I KNOW THE DRIVE TO THE AIRPORT FAIRLY WELL AND WILL RETURN MY CAR TO CVG. THERE IS ONLY A 23.32 ONE WAY CHARGE TO DROP OFF THE CAR AT A DIFFERENT LOCATION THEN PICKING IT UP. IT IS A DOABLE 5:45 FLIGHT FROM CVG TO ORD. LUCKILY BECAUSE IT IS FROM CINCY TO CHICAGO, IT IS ONLY 15 MINUTE FLIGHT WHEN YOU FACTOR IN THE TIME CHANGE.

AUG.06 CLEVELAND AND KANSAS CITY DOUBLE

HARDEST DOUBLE, BUT THANKS TO 12:10 START, IF IT IS A NORMAL 3 HOUR GAME THEN IT WILL BE DECENT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT TO CLE-HOPKINS AT FOR A 5:07 FLIGHT THAT LANDS AT MCI AT 6:12. THERE IT IS A SEDAN RIDE TO KAUFFMAN STADIUM WHICH IS ABOUT A 35 MINUTE RIDE.

THU AUG. 06 CLE INDIANS AT PROGRESSIVE FIELD 12:10 GAME 21 DAY 16 (FLOWN FROM BALTIMORE)

TUES AUG.11 MINNESOTA TWINS AT METRODOME 7:05 GAME 28 DAY 21 (FLOWN FROM PHX)

WED AUG.12 ATLANTA BRAVES AT TURNER FIELD 7:05 GAME 29 DAY 22
****** IN THIS FLIGHT FROM MINNESOTA THERE IS A LAYOVER AT 10 AM IN NEWARK I COULD DE-BOARD AND MAKE UP NYY GAME FROM 23RD AND ADD A FLIGHT AT 5:15 OUT LGA TO BOS AT 6:30 TO TRY FOR A DAY-NIGHT DOUBLEHEADER. AN UNLIKELY DOUBLE BUT I WOULD TRY IT IF MILWAUKEE WAS THE ONLY GAME I HAD MISSED AND BOSTON WAS ALL THAT WAS LEFT AFTER THE NEW YORK GAME. ATLANTA WOULD BECOME THE GAME ON THE 14TH

THU AUG.13 BOSTON REDSOX AT FENWAY PARK 1:35 GAME 30 DAY 23 LAST GAME(FLOWN FROM ATL AS ORIGINAL DESIGN-OR AMTRAK FROM NEW YORK)

FRI AUG.14 SINCE BOSTON IS A DAY GAME THIS WOULD GIVE ME THE ABLILITY TO DRIVE TO ANY OF THE PLACES LISTED BELOW (EXCEPT FLORIDA) AS PART OF A FAILED DOUBLE HEADER IN SINGLE GAMES I COULD MAKE UP GAMES IN EITHER MILWAUKEE/DETROIT OR ATLANTA(WITH THE NYY SWITCH TO THE 12TH IN PLACE OF ATL). IF IT IS ONLY ONE MISS OUT OF THE LOT IT WOULD BE A 30-24 STREAK. (ALSO COULD BE A MARLINS MAKE-UP IN CASE OF A RAIN OUT WHICH HAPPENS LOTS IN SUMMER)

SAT AUG.15. THIS WOULD BE A SECOND GAME TO MAKE-UP THAT WOULD INCLUDE MAKE-UP GAMES TO MIL, ATL, DET, FLA THIS WOULD BE A 30-25 RECORD

SUN AUG.16 A THIRD MISS WOULD MEAN TYING THE STREAK, AGAIN ADD THE 4 CLUBS.

REMEMBER THAT I CAN RETROACTIVE KC TO THE 21ST OF JULY IF I MISSED THAT GAME ON AUG.06, AND EVEN IF I MISSED ONE OTHER GAME I COULD MAKE IT 30-25 TO BREAK THE RECORD AND 2 WOULD STILL MAKE IT A TIE. IF I MISS BOTH CWS AND KC I CAN RETROACTIVE IT TO THE 20TH FOR A 30-25. I ALSO HAVE ONE-WAY RENTALS TO THE DESTINATION CITY SHOULD I MISS ANY OF THE FLIGHT SO AT LEAST I CAN KEEP MY NEXT FLIGHT SEQUENCES INTACT. IF I MISS THE FLIGHT FROM CLEVELAND TO KANSAS CITY, I WILL TAKE A BUS TO TORONTO FROM CLEVELAND AND FLY TO LOS ANGELES OR SAN DIEGO WITH A CANADIAN AIR CARRIER TO WHOM I HAVE POINTS.

IF I MISS THAT NYY-BOS DOUBLEHEADER (HAVING THE YANKS ONLY BE THE ONE DOUBLE I MISSED AND THEN MISS THE 12TH PROPOSED DOUBLE, I WOULD GO TO BOSTON ON THE 13TH AND ATL ON THE 14TH. I COULD ALSO GO FOR THE RECORD IF I MISSED 3 DOUBLE HEADERS OUT OF MIL,NYY,KC, DET.

THE MOST IMPORTANT DOUBLEHEADERS ARE THE LAA/LAD DOUBLE AND THE NYM/PHI AS THE ONLY SCENARIO WOULD BE TO CHANGE SAN DIEGO FROM AUG.07 TO AUG.09/ AND ADD SEATTLE AT THE END OF THE TRIP. CHANCE FOR A MAKE-UP SCENARIO. IF I GO 2-2 ON THESE I REALLY ONLY HAVE TO GO 3-6 IN EIGHT PROPOSED DOUBLEHEADERS. LAST YEAR I WENT 6-8 IN DOUBLEHEADERS, HIT ON CHC-MIL, MIN-CWS, WSH-NYM, OAK-SF, FLA-TPA, SD-LAD, MISSED ON PHI-NYY AND HOU-TEX.
