First, we got stuck in about an hour of traffic trying to make our way into Toronto. We listened to the first two innings of the game in the car, anxious to be rooting for the Rays in the Rogers Centre.

Then, things got worse. "Big Game James" Shields was having a really off day. He gave up six homers in the first four innings. Thayer gave up hits. Qualls gave up hits. The Jays scored in every inning. We left mid-8th; the score was 17 to 7 in favor of the Blue Jays.
It made us feel better to know later that the Rays bounced back with some runs in the ninth to make it 17 to 11. But the damage had been done. The Rays have now lost four in a row.
So, we consoled ourselves with a really amazing dinner at Susur Lee's restaurant. Then a nice long walk down Queen Street.
And we decided to try to go to the game again today. We are Rays fans.
That's the spirit! It's all about the food, you know!
ReplyDeleteRemember that Sestina assignment you gave once, where you picked a couple of end words that could be used in different ways? Now I know why you used the word "Ray" because you are a Ray Fan.
