Florida Spring Training 2017 - Day 52

We met Eileen and Linda at Lenny's restaurant for breakfast before the game with the NY Yankees today.  It was crowded with Phillies fans as well as a fair number of Yankee fans. Once again, we had a great breakfast.  It was way too much food for a normal, everyday breakfast, but O.K. for an occasional vacation breakfast featuring a large menu, typical Philadelphia-type food and generous portions that you really cannot finish without taking the leftovers home in a box.

The game with the Yankees didn't go particularly well as the Phillies lost 7-3 facing the Yankee's best pitcher who pitched 6 scoreless innings.  Eileen and Linda were happy however as their Yankees team easily won against what appeared to be an over-matched Phillies team.  There were a number of non-roster players in the Phillies line up trying to make the team as spring training winds down.  The Phillies Pitcher however, was one of their starters who pitched fairly well but gave up two long homers that scored 5 runs.

After the game we all went to dinner at the Rumba Island Grill Restaurant.  This is the same restaurant where we had lunch the other day so we went back and used the remainder of the gift certificate we won at the ball park last week.  It was another excellent meal to end a busy day, that included a mega breakfast, a Phillies loss, and a great visit with Eileen and Linda.
