My dad and I went to a Phillies game Wednesday night, for the first time in a few years: we hadn't been in the new stadium before. Citizens Bank Park is really nice, with more personality than the old cookie-cutter Veterans Stadium (although it's tough to top Fenway on personality) and a great view of the Philadelphia skyline from behind home plate. Unfortunately the game itself could have been better: it rained off and on, and the Toronto Blue Jays trounced us, 7-1, on their way to a three-game sweep. It felt like 1993 all over again.
In other Canadian sports news, Blackberry billionaire Jim Balsillie's plan to take over hockey's bankrupt Phoenix Coyotes and move them to Hamilton, Ontario, has stalled for the moment. (No word on whether the scheme's backers also include Sameer.)
