The Cubs have, along with all other MLB teams, released their tentative 2010 schedule this afternoon. Pity. It was kind of fun the last few years to fill out the acrostic-type puzzle that was created when some teams would release their schedule, and others (including the Cubs under the MacPhail regime) would treat it as a CIA secret.
In any case, MLB has made a good decision by releasing the schedule early so people can get an idea about next year, get excited about it, and make plans for road trips. Our interleague opponents in 2010 will be the AL West; visits to Wrigley by the Angels and A's, and road trips to Texas and Seattle.
Complete schedule after the jump. I'll post game times here when I have them. All times CDT.
