Is this trip to Japan messing up anyone else's baseball clock?

It's very strange. The Sox start Tuesday, in Japan against Oakland at 6 AM. Then they travel back to LA, play three exhibitions against the Dodgers, then play two more games against the A's in Oakland. Then we have three games against the Blue Jays before coming home on April 8th.

It's screwing me up. The season starts too early, and the first two games are too early in the morning. I'm trying to figure out how to catch the games. I think I'll watch a couple of innings before I go get on the train, then listen on my portable radio on the way in.

There's also this weird break in LA where we play games that don't count after playing games that count.

Hopefully the Sox get off to a good start and we don't have to listen to the media and fans theorizing about whether the trip caused problems. We'll see.

By the way, my Twitter page has been pretty active. I'm finding these little bite sized "what am I doing" kind of updates to be fun and easy to do. If you're not already following me, go check it out!
