Daily blurb
For those who just can’t wait to start planning for baseball, I posted the 2012 MLB schedule in spreadsheet format today. Feel free to fetch it. Note that this is a static spreadsheet that will not be updated during the season as games are postponed and rescheduled. Other site tools will do that during the season, but those are not yet setup for 2012.

The season will start this year with two games in Tokyo between Oakland and Seattle on March 28-29. The domestic portion of the regular season won’t start until April 4 (St. Louis @ Florida), and then many more teams get started the following day. The season runs all the wait until October 3rd. MBL still hopes to have the World Series completed before the end of October, but last year’s World Series didn’t end until October 28, and the regular season ended on September 28. So they’re going to need favorable weather and fewer empty days to pull that off.
