I'm really surprised there aren't more pictures from the trip. I was really hoping for shots of them on the plane, in the holding area in Chicago, etc.

If this were a "caption this" thread I would say....

"Man, Somebody just hit me in the head with a crutch"

But it's not, so I won't


P.S. Hi MrNE

Judging from the amount of photographers on the ground in Japan, I think we'll be seeing more pics coming.....(at least of Dice-K).



edit: Boston.com has a full photo gallory up (link)

I posted a few photos in today's newslinks.

Personally,

I'm holding out hope that the Globe sent Stan Grossfield to do another photo essay much like the one he did on the flight back from Colorado after the world series. I thought that was a gteat effort on the Globe's part to capture a little bit of the behind the scenes stuff without being too intrusive.

Here is a link to a yahoo photo gallery of the Sox and A's in Japan.

Now there's some nostalgia. I still have one of those wooden sake cups like Papi has in the picture holding shaving stuff in my bathroom, from a trip to Japan in the early 90s.
