Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and cracker jack....
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay DEVIL Rays. Monday, August 24th. Roy Halladay. Me. At the BEAUTIFUL MOTHER FUCKING SKYDOME. 7:07 PM. Enough said.
Who's down? Holla at ya boy. Let's make this happen.
I'll be outside gate 6, in my Kaberle jersey, with a "I BELIEVE IN VERNON WELLS" sign.
There will be beer. And baseball. Everybody wins.

I don’t know if you really have to “believe” in Vernon Wells. I mean, there is reasonable material evidence of his existence.
Last night, for example, I watched him fly out to centre to kill the rally in the eighth. To his credit, it wasn’t as lame a flyout as the one Barajas pulled off one inning later….

And yet Lind had a lower WPA because of his flyout in the 8th.

Don’t bash the Rogers moniker, Ted put tens of millions (if not more) into refurbishing that place, along with increasing the team payroll, he at least deserves the minimal advertising that comes from the renaming.

He doesn’t deserve anything he’s dead and no matter what name the corporate overlords choose it’ll always be the SkyDome.

Yea, except Rogers improved it and they deserve to be able to name it after themselves. It will always have been the rogers centre, but it isn’t anymore.

Of course they are too young and can’t talk but,….. that is how it would play out in my head….

I love the G'DAMN Jays
Actually, the Blue Birds and the Ti-Cats take up pretty much all my sports related attention over the summer – hence why this is my first post in like 4 months.
I’m gonna be housesitting/ paying attention to a couple needy cats in T.O while my buddy’s on his honeymoon.
I’d love to catch some Doc on the mound, and talk some shit with you fine gents. And beer.

Post-game drinks sound enticing, though they will totally depend on the timing of the end of the game in relation to the GO schedule for lakeshore West.
And my elitist seats can be attributed to 1) my girlfriend spends more money than she probably should on everything and 2) she just pressed “best available” and bought them.

Random question, but do you all know each other from elsewhere, or is everyone here friends via PPP? And I was away for a bit, so I only noticed this posting now, which doesn’t really give me much time to organize a trip to join. Another time, go Jays!
And I have no problem with it being called the Rogers Centre, I just won’t call it that. :D
