The Big Money
Geddy Lee must have been thinking about the Yankees when he came up with that song. From his front row seat at the Skydome tonight he would have seen the big money first hand. Everyone's favourite former Red Sox, Johnny Damon, and he group of big dollar buddies Jeter, A-Rod, Giambi et al were in Toronto.
In addition to the Rush vocalist, among the 42,336 in the stands were , Mike "Pinball" Clemons and a guy who may or may not have been K-Os. All that for a tilt featuring Roy Halliday vs. Mike Mussina.
Leave it to Air Canada to screw up a good night at the park. We took off from the game with the Jays ahead 4-3 in time to make the flight. Then good old AC makes everyone sit on the plane for 45 minutes before take-off so we missed the Yanks tie it up in the 8th and then Vernon Wells win it with a homer in the 11th.
The game was ok - not a lot of action but the Jays comeback from a 3-0 deficit brought the crowd back into it.
Reportedly the hot dogs at Skydome are only mediocre. 25 cent Lynx dogs are much better.
Skratch and the Goulburn Sanitation Monster could take Ace and Diamond in a tag team match.

Steve,
I’m a big time and long time RUSH fan. The same can be said about baseball.
Anyway, I’m always on the lookout for Blue Jays games on TV to see if Geddy is at the game. Last night’s game was on ESPN. Geddy was keeping score as he always does. The primo section he sits in had folks in it and staying. This is not always true. Due the Evil Empire no doubt!
This morning I did a google blog search to see if anyone had anything to say about seeing Geddy. Cool to find yours.
Freakin' Air Canada making you miss the game highlight even though it meant the Jays win. Tough call as both teams are in the same division as the Red Sox. But these are always great match-up's immediately following the All-Star break.
Yes - the Skydome hot dogs are brutal compared to the JetForm Park franks.
