TOR @ LAA (8-2-13)

I haven't gone to any games or signings for a while now so I decided to get tickets for a game. I went to Angel Stadium today for the second game of the Blue Jays and Angels series. The pitching matchup wasn't the best but I wanted to go for Big Bang Friday. I was hoping that I would be able to get several toss-ups during BP because I was in my Blue Jays gear but it was the complete opposite. I didn't get a single ball during BP and to make it worse they ended BP 30 minutes early. I thought my luck would turn around when I headed to the bullpen to try and get Todd Redmond's warm-up but it didn't. I went back to my seat and when I saw Aaron Loup start warming up in the Blue Jays bullpen, I headed there to see if I could get his warm-up ball. With my luck I didn't get his warm-up ball or the warm-up ball from the 2 other pitchers who warmed up in the bullpen after him. At the end of the game when the coaches started to zip up the bag of baseballs I thought I was gonna get shut-out for sure. I knew there was one last hope though because I didn't see anyone grab the line-up card on their way out. So when the Angels grounds crew went into the bullpen I asked them if the line-up card was still in there and sure enough...

It was still in the bullpen and I was able to get it. So I ended up with no baseballs, no autographs, but at least I got the line-up card. I will be going to tomorrow's game so lets hope I can get at least one ball tomorrow.
