Blue Jays Kick Red Sox Ass

Today I was invited to a night at the ball game by a cool co-worker from the USA. A true Red Sox fan. Well I felt sorry for him because he came all this way just to watch the Red Sox get creamed. We had one amazing inning (bottom of the 3rd) with 5 runs in! Everyone was cat-calling this cool hitter called "Manny" from the Red Sox. The guys behind us wouldn't stop talking about him. "Yeah he should have his own reality show. Yeah, he should replace Ozzy. Yeah, I'd watch him walk his dog, that would be teh hilarious! Yeah and Manny Junior haha that would be hilarious!"

Needless to say it was all we could do to not turn around and.. er... throw peanuts at them. Or look like we're going to fight and then say "hold me back! hold me back!" to our friends. The real reason I didn't unleash my twin pythons on them was that there was a peace officer right in front of us. Although he was mostly watching the game and not the crowd.

And the view was pretty cool, the Toronto CN Tower rises up right beside the stadium, and you can see it since the roof is open!
I'm glad there are not too many baseball fans in Toronto, it sure keeps parking and ticket prices low. Parking was $6.50, and a ticket around 3rd base, in the 3rd row only cost $39 including tax. Can you really get a better deal for professional sports? Mind you I'm not a huge baseball fan either, but we WON! And that made it that much more enjoyable.
