After sitting through a painfully slow game (4+ hrs to play 9 innings) and having to watch and listen to the Yankees fans cheer after Giambi hit the walk-off HR it was time to head home.
About the HR, it felt like it was traveling in slow motion as it flew down the line and I watched hoping it would go foul. Once it landed and I saw the umpire wave fair, I just sat in shock. After what happened in ANA on the weekend, I couldn’t believe I was sitting through yet another walk-off win in a game that looked like the Jays had it well under control. That walk-off brings the total to 5 that the Jays have been involved this season, and all of them have come on the road, which means the Jays lost all of them. They seem to come in the worst places as 2 were in Fenway Park (back-to-back nights), 2 in ANA (back-to-back days), and then 1 in Yankee Stadium. Not fun to be a visiting fan at those games.
I caught a bus just before 9 pm to head home and wouldn’t you have it I ended up sitting beside a Yankee fan who had been at the game. It just felt great to relive the game as we talked about it.
