Sport, Sport, Sport, Sport

As I've previously stated, I went to a baseball game featuring the Blue Jays and the White Sox a few weeks ago. It wasn't the most interesting game I've been to, but there was always something happening. Maybe I just didn't get the nuances and subtleties but it all seemed very samey. Also the crowd didn't seem that interested to be honest.



I've also been to see some Tennis (Rogers Cup) for the first time too. We were hoping to see Andy Murray, but he played in the afternoon session, but instead we did get Roger Federer, who was amazing, particularly in the first set. We got two matches, Federer's was first and then we had a double match to watch between Martin Damm/Leander Paes and two other guys. I only remember those names because there was a very annoying guy sat near us who was almost constantly chanting.....

*slap* *slap* *clap* *clap* *slap* *slap* *clap* *clap* Let's go Martin, Let's go Pai-es, Let's Go *clap* *clap* Let's Go!! *clap* *clap*




Going to the Tennis the cab driver had no idea where to go, and coming back the cab driver took us the long route (which Chris was none too happy about as he has a pretty good idea about which direction we were going).

Another sport I've seen whilst here was the World Dragon Boat Championships, which was cool for about half an hour, but again got a bit samey, but it was quite a good spectacle watching the twenty strong crew paddling in unison, and we also saw a british team (they didn't win).



I like sport...now, everybody join in.....*slap* *slap* *clap* *clap*
