Day 140 – Live vs Tape Delayed

Nothing too exciting today just stayed around the hotel most of the day. I watched some of the tape delayed Olympics on NBC (some of the events I didn’t see last night). I took a jog around the lake. Eventually made my way into the city in time for a late lunch.

I’m not a fan of NBC’s Olympic coverage and the fact they show so much of it tape delayed with all their edits thrown in. I prefer watching the events live and in their entirety, not what some TV Executives think are the most interesting parts. At least NBC is streaming almost all the events live online.

The rained out game from yesterday was being rescheduled for the Jays final series in BOS in Sept. as part of a day-night doubleheader. So that will be my 2nd doubleheader of the season to go with the one earlier in the year in CLE (excluding the partial one in BAL where they finished the suspended game).

I found a really good deal on stubhub for a ticket right behind home plate so I ended up w/a really nice seat to watch Doc work his magic.

The last train to Wakefield is not as late on Sat (only 11:30) as weeknights so I couldn’t take as much time getting back to North Station. However, thanks in large part to Halladay the game was over by 9:30 so I didn’t have to rush to get something to eat before getting back for the train.
