Opening day is here, well okay not here, its in Japan and its at 6:05 in the morning. Bills fans who think it sucks that the Bills are playing one preseason game a year in Toronto is bad, how would you like them to play in Japan. At least you can make the trip to Toronto.

Tomorrow morning at 6:05 AM when most of us are trying to squeeze a few last minutes of sleep in before we get up for work, the first pitch on the Major League Baseball season will be thrown and no one unless they are a die hard this side of the Pacific will have a clue it is happening.  

Red Sox and A's fans should be livid at not being able to see the first pitch of our pastime on our home soil at a decent hour. I understand that baseball wants to market over seas just like every other sport but do it with the exhibition games not the games that count in the standings.

Professional sports takes our support for granted and when they take games like opening day away from their fans, it just them spitting on the folks who have made those teams viable over the years. As for me, Im not a Boston fan nor an A's fan but I am a baseball fan who would be in front of that TV for every minute of the first game of the year, if it was on at 8:00 prime time here in the US. Since it is the way it is, Im not turning it on.
