Turning Japanese What could be better than baseball season starting tomorrow? Baseball season starting tomorrow at 5 o'clock in the freaking morning, that's what. The Yankees are playing in Japan, that's why. They're making a big deal cuz Hideki Matsui returned to the country that gave him the nickname "Godzilla." Not for nothing, but how many people in Japan have ever been given the nickname "Godzilla"? It's gotta be the equivalent of "big guy" here in America.
