Rogers Centre -Toronto Blue Jays

Another great weekend that started out with a mad rush to get downtown! We found parking at the corner of Wellington and Blue Jays Way for the ludicrous price of $25 (Toronto game day robbery). We walked up to Queen West for dinner at Epicure Cafe. Epicure is a small restaurant with a rooftop patio that offers a Provencal meets Northern Italian menu. With five pages to choose from there's definitely something for everyone. They were having a mussel festival, 1 pound of any flavour for $8.00. We tried the American and the French. The calamari was good too.

After stuffing ourselves, and leaving no room for dessert, or time to walk leisurely to the stadium, we hailed a cab and made it to the game in time for the first pitch. Great seats at gate 11, section 128 sitting at the third baseline.


We picked a great game to see. So many home runs! The Baltimore Orioles went through 5 or 6 pitchers! 


We had a nice view of the CN Tower, and the rounds of groups hopping out on the sky deck to do the skywalk for $175 per person.


The excitement continued into the final inning. After a bottom of the 8th homerun from Kawasaki, the crowd was on their feet praising the BlueJays' Kawasaki for tying it up. Chanting Ka-wa-sa-ki at his next up to bat,  Kawasaki's hit got a runner to second and third, and allowed Davis to come in and knock a quick one through centre field and extend the Blue Jays winning streak to 8! Go Jays Go!
