------------------------------------

First thoughts... the interleague opponents are no pushovers, and I'm a little thrown off by ending with the D'Backs, a non-division opponent (as opposed to this year, ending on the road against the Brewers).

The 2008 season ended on September 28 (with a cancelled makeup game with the Astros on the 29th); this year the Cubs (and everyone else) will have two more full series after that date. There are some "easier" opponents near the end of the schedule (Giants/Pirates) in case we need some extra wins to lock up the division.

Sorry for all the parentheses.
