Time for a 2010 schedule check

This isn’t earth-shattering news to bring you or anything, but in case anyone has been sitting on the edge of their seats for such information, the Pirates have released times for their 2010 regular season games.

I would expect those times to be reflected on the schedule that we have posted on pirates.com, but they haven’t been yet. Anyways, if you’re curious, here are the highlights:

• Those Saturday afternoon home games that everyone liked so much in 2009, well the Pirates have just one in 2010. The team’s Saturday, Sept. 25 game against Houston will be played at 12:35 pm. All other Saturday home games will be at the regular 7:05 pm start time.
• All three of the Pirates’ holiday home games — Memorial Day (May 31), Fourth of July (figure the date out on your own) and Labor Day (Sept. 6) will all begin at 1:35 pm.
• The Pirates will play another five weekday day games in the 81-game home schedule. All those will start at 12:35 pm.
