Baseball's "Opening" Day

The BoSox defeat the A's in ten innings. In Japan. That's cool & all, but I feel bad for anyone who had to start watching baseball early in the morning. It's also going to be a lot of jet lag for the teams involved. Yes, bringing the international flavor to baseball is all well and good, but I'm going to feel more excited when the season starts here in a few days. It can't be here soon enough, especially since we got four inches of snow in Chicago on the first day of Spring.
