It's been 6 months since the end of the regular season.

I hope the resumption of baseball does bring some sense of hope/return to normalcy. It has been one month since the quake, which is a very respectful time of mourning and showing empathy for the victims still in shelters. Besides, they are going to follow energy-saving measures. Now if they could just do away with the: pounding noise sticks, way too loud bands (that echo among the empty seats), and TV announcers who SCREAM at every occassion, I might just tune in.

Article saids: "Games are usually in the evening but the NPB was scheduling more in the daytime this season to accommodate powercuts"

Even though baseball is a business, NPB should schedule all of the games in 2011 as a day game. There should be no exceptions until situation becomes normal.
