Thank you.

It's what I expected to hear but it's nice to get confirmation. :thumbu:

Our the Yankees the main competition for the Division?

Yes but you could also sprinkle in some (Devil) Rays magic in there since they're always sneaky good. Hoping Kiermaier transferred it over to us.

With a more balanced schedule, expect Cole to have a major rebound season, Judge to lose some offense based on having to face other teams and a division where the top 3 could each win.

Baltimore has very good defense and their pitching is slowly getting better, but they likely don't have the bats.

Boston could surprise, but they are built on having no names anywhere (so if guys play like expected, they will be behind the other 4).

Yes on the Yankess (as usual). Orioles will likely take a step back from last year, Boston will be last in the division. Tampa will be a good team.

With the change made, the Jays outfield defense will be extremely good

Here is a question for those that frequent the Jays home games.....

I am heading up with my wife, kid (24 yr old), their partner, and my father-in-law. Me and FIL are going to the game, the other 3 are not going to the game. This is a Sunday PM game in May. We are just doing a day trip (a very long day trip) from Windsor. The prices for a hotel in downtown Toronto are absolutely non-sense. Aside from the CN Tower and Ripley's Aquarium, what kind of things are nearby that they can do while we are at the game? Sounds like they are thinking the aquarium, and I'd assume it takes a few hours to see it all, so that likely might fill close to the same amount of time......? I also paid for parking with my tickets - parking at the garage at 315 Front St ( had the option of buying parking with my tickets ). Walking to the stadium from there (Rod Robbie Bridge). I assume there are lots of place to have lunch as well nearby....

Sorry - it's been a long time since I've been to Toronto.

There are tons of restaurants and places to eat right around the stadium. They will all be very busy before a game - but you can always slide up to king st for more options.

The aquarium and/or the Tower will probably fill up their time well enough. There are all kinds of theatres not too far away if they want to catch a matinee (that would be instead of the aquarium i imagine.) You'll have fun. Traffic will suck beyond your expectations, but it really only tortures you for a half hour or so.

If you like Wings I highly recommend, https://locations.stlouiswings.com/on-toronto-5
Right around the corner from the Dome on Bremner and IMO, best wings around anywhere.

Tell the girls to walk up to the Eaton Centre and shop.

I won't be driving, but I'm sure it will be nuts. We were discussing last night that it's not just leave Windsor at 9 for a 1:30PM start......I don't know what kind of construction/traffic chaos there will be. After the game...well we can more take our time. Game ends at 4PM or so, probably back home around 9pm-ish

I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Love me some good wings!

Last time I went to a Leafs game at ACC (at the time) we ate at Harbour Sports Grille, but I hear that place is long gone!

My wife was asking how close we'd be to Richtree - is that still around?

Sorry, not familiar with Richtree.

If you're worried about traffic, park at one of the Go Stations near the QEW and train in.
At least that way you will know exactly when you'll get to the city.
Union Station is about a 10 min walk to the Dome.

Richtree was in the Eaton Centre I think, but looks like they closed up in 2020 - was called Movenpick Marche before that. Was a market style restaurant.

I prepaid for parking already at Impark at 315 Front St.

The first Saturday game on April 15th against the Rays I assume will be the first Kikuchi start. Tickets are starting to go pretty fast for that one.

The atmosphere of a packed Rogers centre for that game of Kikuchi comes out dealing will be unbelievable
