The Dodgers released their tentative 2012 schedule on Wednesday. Like in 2011, they open next year on Thursday, April 5, opening a four-game road series at Petco Park against the Padres. It is one of six MLB games on that Thursday. The first game of the MLB season is Wednesday, April 4, with the Cardinals in Florida opening the Miami Marlins' new ballpark.
The Dodgers' home opener is Tuesday, April 10 against the Pirates, meaning Clayton Kershaw can start both opening day and the home opener. The Dodgers make interleague road trips to Seattle and Oakland in addition to Anaheim. Their full interleague schedule, which includes playing the White Sox for the fourth time in five seasons:
- June 8-10: at Seattle
- June 11-13: vs. Angels
- June 15-17: vs. White Sox
- June 19-21: at Oakland
- June 22-24: at Angels
The first interleague weekend of the season is from May 18-20, but the Dodgers are hosting the Cardinals that weekend.
The Dodgers end their 2012 regular season with a six game homestand, hosting the Rockies from September 28-30 and the Giants from October 1-3.

{insert pointless debate about how unfairly hard the Dodgers schedule is}
;-)
There's no need to fear, Underdog is here! / Broncos/Dodgers/Lakers fan in Niners/Raiders/Giants/Warriors country, and damned proud of it.

the same people who will be talking about how the new owner has saved us after we start the season 14-8 because we get the Padres (7), Pirates (3), Brewers (3), Astros (3), Braves (3) and Nationals (3) in April.
I before E except in Teixeira.

even if he is, who goes to a game to watch the 4th outfielder if they aren’t related to him?

Same people who get hype about a backup catcher?

What a joke! LA fans all sound like little girls…Bunch of classless border-jumping, low-life idiots…great fan base for sure. Parra did what he did, get over it! Make sure to enjoy your off season now…I would say go fishing, but most of you couldnt afford to pay for gas let alone a trip.
From the comments.
Yes, clearly as a Dback fan this guy exudes class.

If it was a normal manager I'd say he would sit
But I feel like Gibby will put him out there.

I’d just be happy if Kershaw struck him out every time and all 9 Dodgers grabbed their crotches in unison.
That would be quite the sight
"If we hit that bull's eye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate"
People actually care about Geraldo Parra for the first time.

No NL West in April
In April, after that opening series in San Diego, the Dodgers don’t play a single NL West opponent, either home or away, until April 30, i.e. May. It’s all NL Central and East in April. Odd.
was similar this year with the cardinals, cubs and braves all coming in April/early May IIRC. The East and Central teams traditionally play out west more early in the season because it cuts down on postponed/cancelled games due to weather.
I before E except in Teixeira.
Didn't we play in Pittsburgh in early May this year?
And had a rainout?

Need to save all those games for the last month of the season. Pennant races must exist!

The Dodgers host the Padres one week after their season-opening series in San Diego.

2012 NL West interleague opponents
LA: at Sea, Ana, CWS, at Oak, at Ana
SD: Ana, at Sea, at Oak, Tex, Sea
SF: Oak, Tex, at Sea, at Ana, at Oak
Ari: at KC, Oak, at Tex, at Ana, vs Sea
Col: Sea, Ana, Oak, at Det, at Tex
Dodgers are only NL West team who doesn’t pay Texas.
Colorado is the only one to play Detroit
San Diego and San Francisco are strictly AL West
Arizona and Colorado both have no “natural rival” (someone they play twice)
Kershaw also is lined up to start either the first or second game of the Nationals series. A Kershaw/Strasburg in April would be over-hyped I imagine.
I before E except in Teixeira.
If it's up to the mothership, I would
imagine something to the effect of Strasburg making his 3 start of the year, nothing to see here, move along

why do we play the white sox so much... seems like every other year

just like LA, no one works because it’s so hot, we just lounge by the pool all day, right? : )

I hate interleague
Same schedule all the damn time basically. I want the Dodgers to come to Baltimore so I can finally see a game close by minus the Nationals.
Under my devious plan (with two new MLB teams) you would see the Dodgers every three years!

i wish it happened
That is one thing I like about the NFL. U know your team will play X division every 4 years. My best friend is an Orioles fan. It would be nice to know that every 3 years we could plan a vacation to Baltimore. We can still do that but it would be nice to know so that I can plan my other vacations around it.
by Dodgerblue8188 on Sep 14, 2011 9:44 AM PDT up reply actions
I made that same argument last year,
and it started a whole “I love the NFL more than the Dodgers” debate. There are simply more things the NFL does better than MLB. IMHO

Such as, hire Bob Costas and somehow not have him mention performance enhancing drugs regarding their sport.
by Eric Stephen on Sep 14, 2011 10:01 AM PDT up reply actions
Such as scheduling, shared revunue, blah, blah, blah
I will await replys as to why I’m an idiot

If MLB wanted to hire Costas for a similar position, he’d jump in a second.

he's already on MLBN quite frequently

Chris Reed's start last night
if included with his three regular season starts, would have lowered his ERA to 5.25 and raised his K/9 to 12.0.
I before E except in Teixeira.
As I said below, I am stoked that I get to see the Dodgers in a road game up here, and it's not
vs the Giants for once. Tickets are cheaper in Oakland, too. Stadium not as nice, but it will presumably be a less stressful game to experience in person than the usual Dodgers @ Giants game.

Alas, it looks like that series is smack dab in mid week.

Yeah the stadium blows. One thing it has going for it is it isn't soiled by Giants fans. ;)

Jerry Crasnick at ESPN looks at the hopes of Kemp for MVP and Kershaw for CYA.
An excerpt:
As Scott Randall of ESPN Stats & Information points out, it’s actually quite commonplace for teammates to capture the MVP and Cy Young Awards. There have been 18 position player-pitcher combinations to bag the two awards in the same season.
.
But losing teams — or even average teams — need not apply. Of the 18 clubs with an MVP and Cy Young winner, 17 advanced to the postseason. The only exception was the 1962 Dodgers (with MVP Maury Wills and Cy Young recipient Sandy Koufax), who won 102 games but lost the pennant to San Francisco in a playoff.
