Great weekend by the Blue Jays!!
Been watching some pitching gems from Halliday & Burnette during my weekend stay in Toronto. They beat the Yankees 4-1 today in a masterful performance by AJ, who was pitching on only 3-days rest for the first time in his career. Even better, i got to admire the two beautiful blonds next to me in the premium seating behind home plate. Whew!
Ate a great hotdog purchased from one of the dozens of vendors located around the stadium prior to the game. Why aren't there any such hotdog vendors in Montreal? I think they'd make a fortune during the summer, especially if they'd park themselves in Old Mtl. Watching Brad Wilkerson patrol centerfield made me think back of the days when i used to watch him play in an Expo uniform. I miss those days!! I'm still convinced that the Expos could have had an attendance rebirth if they would have built that open-air stadium in downtown Montreal (Labatt Stadium). Even though i'm a huge baseball fan, i hated the long subway ride to Olympic Stadium, only to watch a baseball game played indoors with the roof closed while it was sunny outside. Another thing that would have greatly helped the Expos' cause would have been if they would have been shifted to the American League East division, where they could have created a rivalry with the Boston Red Sox & New York Yankees. Many fans from the american east coast would have flocked to Mtl during their series with the Expos, just like their doing in Toronto when either the Sox or Yankees are in town. The same could have happened with the Tigers, where fans could have taken the VIA rail train to Mtl. Oh well.....wishful thinking!
