Entry for March 27, 2008
The Sox schedule is just completely insane. Talk about wearing a team out before the season has barely started. The Red Sox will have traveled over 16,000 miles to play exactly 7 games that count. The other MLB teams i.e. the Yankees are sitting in Florida and open up the season in their own beds. Whoever agreed to this schedule needs to have their heads examined. The Japan trip was a total waste of time in my book. Who even saw these games or really cared? The Stadium in Japan is a complete and total eyesore and I can give a darn about the promotion of baseball in the far east. Send the Padres and Angels next time and play an interleague series that nobody will watch. Here is the rest of the Sox games for the week ahead.
