1ST GAME AT ROGERS CENTRE
Ben Sheets was roughed up, giving up 9 runs in 3 1/3 innings pitched. Toronto Blue Jays hitters were all over Sheets hitting every ball hard. The A's bullpen did not give up a run the rest of the game. We sat in the 2nd row and never got one ball to us. Gonzalez, Hill, Lewis all went deep in this game. "They hit the ball hard, their outs were hard, everything was hard," said Sheets. This stadium was very quiet and you could hear everything anyone said in the stands. This one man got Daric Barton's attention from the 2nd deck by telling him he was 0-4 and Barton started smiling. It seemed like you could hear anything from the 1st to 5th deck and the bleachers.

These fans were on Daric Barton like what they were doing to Evan Longoria.
We heard this song everywhere in Canada.
