Okay, it's 2:40am on July 1st
We JUST got back to the hotel after an awesome 11th inning Seattle Mariners win against the Boston Red Sox, and my man Ackley (Lucky # 13) ran in the winning base.
Seriously, we've been to a ton of games in the last 2 years, and this is the first time we've seen them win :)
AND, in Buckley's bar in Belltown, about 20 of us sang 'Oh Canada' as soon as midnight hit, and the live band played along.
It was awesome :)
...like one of those 'bucket list' kind of awesome things.
Okay, time to sleep. I hope you all have a great weekend as well :)
That sounds like a perfect way to ring in the holiday.
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day!
It was freaking awesome :D
DeleteSeattle is such a great city
that is truly AWESOME when stuff like that happens to me as it does occasionally I get all choked up (glad the team won also)
ReplyDeleteYup, it was a nice win... too bad they lost the game on Saturday :(
DeleteWe live about 4 hours from Miller Park, so we watch most of the games on TV, but are headed down for Wednesdays game - would LOVE to watch an 11-inning win - how exciting!

I hope you have an awesome time! There's nothing quite like the atmosphere of a live game... it just can't be captured on a tv broadcast ;)
DeleteHope the July 4th game is a win for you!
I've been to Canada once, but was too young to remember. Someone needs to visit the place again, eh? :)
ReplyDeleteCanada's awfully big... where did you visit, eh?
Deleteeh?
;)
And yes, visiting a country when you're old enough to remember it... very good idea ;)
