We headed down to Rogers Centre Sunday morning to take in our first Blue Jays game of the season. With the Jays doing better of late, we were looking forward to the possibility of a sweep of the Mariners. Angela was able to get the day off work so we could all spend the day with Susan.

The roof was opened for the first time this year. We were sitting in section 516R, seats 3-7.

The skies were blue.

Even though the skies were blue and the sun was out, the roof started to close. There was some inclement weather coming. We don’t know if it ever came, it was sunny when the roof closed and it was sunny when we left the game.

Even the umpires were sad the roof was closing.

Both teams were wearing their pink trimmed jerseys for Mothers Day.

Aaron Sanchez came off the DL to start the game.

Kevin Pillar waiting for his first pitch.

He would go on to hit the game winning run in the bottom of the ninth with a walk off home run. Here he is running from his teammates trying to save his jersey from being ripped off.

The final box score for the game.

After the game we headed to chinatown for dinner at our usual restaurant. Imagine our surprise and disappointment when we couldn’t see the Xam Yu signage. It turns out they closed sometime between our last visit there and now. We ended up going to the restaurant two doors down called Sang’s Great Seafood Restaurant. We were able to get our noodles with BBQ pork, deep fried shrimp balls and cantonese chow mein, but no crispy beef.

Xam Yu has been replaced with a hotpot restaurant called PaPaSpicy. On the Xam Yu website they recommend a restaurant called Sang Ho Seafood Restaurant which is at 536 Dundas Street east of Spadina, we’ll have to try that one next time.

St Patrick station was pretty empty.
