The way they have it set up now, they play over there, then get back to the states with a week to transition back, and then start up again with real games. Silly would be expecting these teams to spend a week in Japan, play on the 31st, and then a day or two later be playing again 12 time zones away. you have your view and i have mine You are seriously that out of touch with reality? Play on the 31st, flay around the globe, and play a fresh team 2 days later. Wow. going to california to play a series wouldn't be that hard...but yes...i suppose i am out of touch with reality...wow...thanks for the insight! :thumbsup: Yeah, and there's not a FOURTEEN hour time difference to california either.
