Yeah cause it is ours and we are Americans! I mean it is not like the Tour de France ever started in London...... Opening day will still be opening day 2-3 games in Tokyo really change nothing. Fans in Oakland will still have time to drink the beers and get the botox done in parking lot for their first home game. Damn straight. I am American and I want MLB to have It's opening day in America. I don't care about the Tour de France, I care about baseball. Its not about drinking bears and botox its about having a real opening day in America. Sure Oakland will have its own "opening day" but technically they have already had 2 "home" games. You'll never see the NFL put their opening day in another country people would fly off the handle. and come on, there is a big difference between 3am and 10am for Oakland fans. 3am you're sleeping, 10 am you can listen to it on the radio, catch it on the tv you have more options. Unless you have nothing going on the next day, getting up at 3 am is a bunch of crap. I'm done with this thread, it just keeps pissing me off even more. People would have different views if it was the Crew playing and not Boston and Oakland.
