Just a heads up folks:

I live in Toronto and live near the stadium. I've been to hundreds of Jay games over the years and know the stadium very well and how it plays in cerytain conditions. It's cool, very windy and not a cloud in the sky, meaning the roof will deninitely be open. When the wind blows out (trust me, it's extremely windy at the Rogers Center) like it's doing today balls absolutely fly outta this park and that's what I'm suggesting will happen today.

Anyway, just thought I'd let people know the conditions.

I got the over 9' about a half an hour ago.

I see it has jumped up to 10' at some places.

I don't care what the weather reports say, I'm in Toronto and there's no chance of rain and it's very windy. The report is 1000% wrong.

I'm not saying the game goes over I'm just merely pointing out the conditions.

watching the game and don't know about the wind but the ball does seem to have some carry on it. However the reason for the runs is the umpire, guy has the smallest strike zone I've ever seen. I mean he should be fired, turning the game into a mockery.

Even though I didn't get home in time to play this, it is nice to see you can still find quality info here without the bashing. Thanks Sherwood.
