Turning Japanese

The MLB-Japan postseason exhibition series begins tonight -- actually, early tomorrow morning -- with the MLB team taking on the Yomiuri Giants at the Tokyo Dome. Here's the complete schedule:

Date/Time (CT) Stadium Game
11/2, 3 a.m. Tokyo Dome, Tokyo MLB vs. Yomiuri
11/3, 3 a.m. Tokyo Dome, Tokyo MLB vs. NPB
11/4, 3:30 a.m. Tokyo Dome, Tokyo MLB vs. NPB
11/5, 3:30 a.m. Tokyo Dome, Tokyo MLB vs. NPB
11/6 Travel day
11/7, 3 a.m. Kyocera Dome, Osaka MLB vs. NPB
11/8, 3 a.m. Yahoo Dome, Fukuoka MLB vs. NPB

("NPB" is the Japanese All-Star team)

I don't think there's any TV coverage of this series, but the link above to the MLB page should get you up-to-date info.

None of the key Japanese players who are going to be posted are participating in this series, and the only Cub involved is Jacque Jones. Still, it's a week of baseball in November -- nothing wrong with that.
