Though not quite as bad as Cleveland, it wasn't exactly baseball weather for the home opener here in Toronto tonight. It sure is nice to have the dome at this time of year. Great effort by the Jays tonight, and great to see such a large, lively crowd at the Rogers Centre. Let's hope we can keep up both all season long :thumb:

yeah aj looked awesome, it's really really too bad the crowd is much smaller tonight (even though there's no leafs or raps tonight) PLUS it's twoonie tuesday isnt it??! argh, id be there every tuesday for sure...

poor Towers got some un-lucky bounces tonight, we're clawing back but it's getting late...heading to the last of the 9th now

I missed the game tonight as I had a work function to attend, but frankly 22,000 against the Royals, in April, with Towers starting, isn't too bad. It was twoonie tuesday, and I checked this afternoon and all the best $2 seats were sold (in the 200 level, and in the 500 level behind the plate in the first 10 rows). I'll probably go to a game or two against the Tigers this weekend, and I've already got my $2 tickets for next Tuesday against the Red Sox. While certainly far from the daily sellouts we experienced back in the early 90's, there is definitely a buzz in this city about the Jays this year, and I think we'll see some respectable attendance numbers on average if they can stay competitive.
