Was it weird looking out into the dark empty stadium at night?

they kept the lights on the whole time..we spent about 2 hours after the game just watching the grounds crew re-do the mound and home plate area..quite fascinating..we talked with friends and I think we'll do it again next year once they release the schedule..they have a suite for 4 people

Missed the Sox/Jays game yesterday but it’s always exciting when the 4th out rule comes into play.

I happened to turn it on right as it was unfolding and absolutely no one had any idea what was going on in real time. it was pretty comical. my favorite part was how the scoreboard changed precisely when the ball was in the air after it had been hit, as if the operator tried to convince everyone the board was never wrong to begin with.

watched and played a billion games and never witnessed that...never trust the scoreboard..you should know how many outs there are..anyway, crazy play..

going to the minor league game on Thursday night as they called up the #1 prospect in the organization..kid just turned 20 and was 8th pick overall out of high school..shortstop for 6.5 million

We’re going to try and catch an Orioles game when we’re in Baltimore next week.

watching Jackson Holiday play makes me feel really old..you baseball guys know his dad Matt...Matt was the batboy for Oklahoma State back in the mid 80s when we used to play them all the time..I really liked their dad, Tom...

I have not yet used my 15% discount at applebees or buca di beppo..

18% percent power on your phone is like when people dont fill up their gas tank when its below 1/2

Orioles game isn’t looking likely…

Didn’t go?

Weaseling doesn’t care much about going and too much other stuff to get done.

Not the Rogers Center, Rogers Stadium. Leave it to Canada to call the stadium the Center and the music venue the Stadium.

They should have called that the Rogers Grandtstands

i wonder if the speakers constantly piping out the tragically hip are unscathed.
