The Phillies played a night game today, so we didn't do anything special this morning except hang around the hotel. I did some desk work and Judy relaxed and sat by the pool for a while. The weather was partly cloudy with a 20% chance of showers that never materialized.
We left for the game about 4:30 pm. The traffic was heavy and after going to Dunedin to scout-out the best route from there to the ball park (after we move there on Friday), we arrived at the park about 5:30 pm. We ate dinner there (BBQ rib sandwiches), had complementary Bloody Mary's and watched our first spring training night game (against the Toronto Blue Jays). The weather was cool and breezy. It was 64 degrees throughout the game but it was also a little humid and it felt colder than it actually was.
The Phillies played most of their starters for the first part of the game against one of the best Toronto pitchers. They still don't look very impressive so far but had a lead into the middle innings when Phillies relief pitchers didn't do very well and gave up enough runs for the Blue Jays to win the game, 5-3. They play the Atlanta Braves tomorrow afternoon. The weather again calls for partly cloudy skies with a 30% chance of showers and a high of 76 degrees.
Here are a few pictures of the game and one of the Great Hot Dog Race - three guys in hot dog suits racing a young girl. Guess who won?
