I'm on the train to Toronto, Burlington to union station. The closer we get the more jays fans are getting on. Fans are loud happy and ready to enjoy the game. How many are die hards? How many are just out for the home opener? It doesn't matter much. I like games where it is standing room only, with the way the Jays have played it happens infrequently. Now if the Yankees or Bosox are in town we get close to sell out but half the fans are cheering for the other side, a weird feeling to share your park with the opposing teams fans.
The Olympians walked in to great applause, giant Canadian and American flags unfurled and a marching band they are going all out for this home opener.
When they announced the White Sox poor Rios was booed, I don't agree, he played he played his best and it didn't work out, that's how it goes sometimes
The game was great despite the loss. Home runs, double plays , everything you want in an opener except the loss. The blue jays had a bunch of come from behind wins so now it goes the other way. It's long season and I expect a lot of these types of games.
