Here are Brad’s scores for our visit to Rogers Centre in Toronto:
Food and Beverage – 5.0
The Rogers Centre had the best selection of food I’ve ever encountered at a baseball game. While none of us tried the hot dogs, we all had the barbecued chicken nachos, which were simply the best ballpark fare we’ve [...]

Steve V. Ranks the Rogers Centre

Here is Steve V.’s scores from our visit to Rogers Centre:
Food and Beverage – 4.5
The barbeque chicken nachos were excellent. I also thought the steak at Jack Astors was quite good for the money. The only thing holding Toronto back from a 5 were the beer prices.
Stadium Condition – 4.0
Given it’s age, Rogers [...]

If it was possible to give a higher score I would. By far this was the best food that we have had at any stadium. There were plenty of options to chose from. You could get [...]

Steve B. caught a foul ball, Jeff caught a bit of a stomach bug, Steve V. caught a whiff of legalized marijuana on the streets of Toronto, and I caught some [...]

We had a good time, as we should, buddy.

Toronto is a fun city. You just need to get to know her.
Our night spent exploring what the city had to offer, coupled with the Tigers first win of the season, was definitely worth our time.
Among our favorites was the Fox & Fiddle, which provided a rustic atmosphere to enjoy a Sleemans, [...]

We’re still going to Toronto, in case you were wondering.

Yes, even after tonight’s heartbreaking loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, we’re going to fight the good fight and make the trip to Toronto.
You know why?
Because this isn’t about baseball.
Well, okay, that’s not entirely true. It is about baseball. Part of it. But it’s just a small part.
The real reason is the [...]

Next stop: Rogers Centre

Tomorrow we’re off to Toronto.
Me, Jeff, and The Steves are hitting the proverbial road to cross off the sixth stadium on our list: Rogers Centre.
And it just so happens that we’ll see our hometown team, the Detroit Tigers, in action. Even though they got shellacked by the Blue Jays last night, we’re [...]

Porcello, Perry to accompany Tigers to Toronto

You’ll have to excuse me.
I am going to unleash my homeristic tendencies for just a second, even though I strive for impartiality on this blog.
The Detroit Tigers just announced that Ryan Perry and Rick Porcello have made the Opening Day roster.
If the chips falls correctly, that means we’ll see Porcello’s big league debut [...]

Tigers cut Sheffield; road-trippers lose out on chance to see history.

So much for our chance to see Gary Sheffield hit his 500th homerun in person.
The Detroit Tigers just released him, citing a need for “more versatility.”
As Tigers fans, we’re a little confused as to why this happened, but having Marcus Thames as the full-time DH does boost our spirits.
