We are leaving Friday morning and we're due to arrive in Japan around 4 p.m. Saturday afternoon. It'll be 3 a.m. here.
The original deal with Rui was that he got tickets to both games against Oakland in Japan. He would go with his friends to whichever game Daisuke Matsuzaka was pitching and we would go with him to the other game. Now that Dice-K has been officially announced as the opening day starter, we now know that we are going to the Wednesday game (Jon Lester is starting). If I've got this straight, the game will be happening in Boston at 6 a.m. Wed., but in Tokyo it will already be 7 p.m. Wed. night.
We are also going to the Red Sox/Yomiuri Giants game on Sunday 3/23 (Easter). That game also will happen here at 6 a.m. while in Tokyo it will be 7 p.m. that same night.
Here's a link to the 3/16/08 Providence Journal story explaining all the details:
