Well, then. If all our games go like this, we're in store for an exciting but long summer. The Rangers visited the Rogers Centre last night to take on the Blue Jays in our second stadium visit. Rich Harden took the hill for the visiting Rangers, and Brett Cecil for the Jays, but neither lasted long as the score skyrocketed to 15-10 in favor of Toronto by the end of the 4th.
Andy and I's seats were in the lower level in left field, just behind the Blue Jays' bullpen. Kiki joined us for the game and we were able to sneak her into our section despite the unnecessarily tight security, considering the fact that there were only about 10,000 people there.
We stayed until the end, but it was somewhat tempting to leave early due to the cold weather and uneventful last few innings. Notes on the Rogers Centre: wayyyy to big for that team; fairly comfortable seats and decent legroom; removable roof a great feature, but they should lose the field turf; friendly people but you could sense a little AL East jealousy since Andy and I were both sporting our hometown jerseys; I was introduced to the mouth watering, wonderful world of Poutine (pictured above), a delicious snack of gravy covered french fries with cheese curds mixed throughout; all in all a comfortable place to watch a ballgame.
Beer price: 7.25CAD for 14oz Budweiser draught; 10.25CAD for Alexander Keith's (premium stuff).
Leaving tomorrow morning to see the Red Sox in Detroit!
Poutinnnneeeeee! That stuff's awesome, until you finish eating it... Then it's just a lead weight in your stomach. And yeah, the beer in Canada blows, eh?
