red sox in japan

does anyone know if any places downtown are going to be open for the red sox games next week?  they are opening in japan and the games are at 6 am in the morning.  I wouldn't mind grabbing some breakfast and watching the games if anything is going to be open for that.

keeping in mind the sox are talking about not going now - due to some payment issues for the coaches and training staff.... that being said...

my kitchen & living room will be serving both breakfast, nachos, and whatever the hell else I want it to at 6:05 a.m.

God, if I sleep through this I'll be furious.

Wouldn't that mean forfeiting the two games with Oakland?

I would imagine the same situation stands with the A's. Apparently the team is get about 40,000 dollars for the trip, and the coaches and trainers were supposed to get that also, but now that's not the case. The players haven't started the 12 o'clock spring training game today due to this, and in an interview Lowell was quoted saying something along the lines of they "won't goto Japan until the matter is resolved"

Sorry for falling of the Davis Sq. topic - but this is Red Sox Nation dammit.

update: negotiations we're taken care of, everyone gets paid more than we'll collectively make in a year.

Again - sorry for the sports talk.

is there a red sox live journal I can hang out at?
