Season Will Begin in the Land of the Rising Sun

The Red Sox players agreed to the trip to Japan to start the '08 season. Boston will play 2 games against Japanese teams on March 23 and 24 and then start the regular season on March 25 and 26 with 2 games against the Oakland A's. The games will be played at the Tokyo Dome and are considered home games for the Red Sox. With Dice-K and Okajima on the team most of the crowed should be cheering for the Sox. We'll see how many members of the Nation make this road trip.
