    It wouldn't surprise me. With the lack of people in the stands it would be easy to spot the guy to.

    31 for uggla. This is suprising

    Edit: And damn. This isn't one of those 1-4 every night streaks.

    .345/.402/.689/1.091. That's one hell of a 30 game streak.
  • Uggla up to 31 games

    Blue Jays fans and players had some fun with the allegations during Wednesday’s game. Several fans in the outfield seats wore white shirts, with one holding a sign that read “FASTBALL.” Another a few rows back held one that read “I’m stealing your signs.”

    Thats funny. A few years ago some dudes had a stripper in the hotel there, right up in the window and all, they caught it on TV.

    TORONTO (UPI) -- Some baseball fans think the Toronto Blue Jays'
    retractable roof SkyDome home should be renamed SexDome after fans
    watched a couple make love in a hotel suite that overlooks the playing
    field.
    Tuesday night, during the team's 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners,
    those with binoculars could see an older man and a buxom, blond woman
    having sex in their suite.
    Although the lights in the suite were off, the couple's room was
    illuminated by a bank of television lights in the SkyDome.
    The incident Tuesday follows one several weeks ago where a male
    guest in the hotel, built into the SkyDome itself, masturbated in the
    window of his suite in front of thousands of Blue Jays fans.
    Police went to his room but no charges were filed because he
    thought the window was fitted with one-way glass, SkyDome spokesman
    David Garrick said.
    ``A lot of the guests think it's one-way glass,'' Garrick said.
    ``We're looking at putting tent cards in the rooms telling them
    it's not and getting them to sign waivers when they book in,'' Garrick
    said.
    Garrick said such behavior isn't condoned because ``we bill SkyDome
    as a family place.''
    The SkyDome -- Toronto's $500 million sports and entertainment
    facility opened last spring with the world's first fully retractable
    roof -- has a 350-suite hotel built into its north end. About 70 of the
    suites, which cost more than $600 a night during peak periods, overlook
    the playing field.
    Garrick said the couple had finished by the time police arrived
    Tuesday. Garrick said he didn't know if police told the couple what many
    in the crowd had seen.
    Metro Toronto police Sgt. Brad Brigham said people who perform sex
    acts in SkyDome hotel suites witnessed by those in the stands could face
    criminal charges of performing an indecent act, which carries a maximum
    penalty of six months in jail and or a $2,000 fine.
    However, to be convicted, the accused would have to be intending to
    offend those they knew were watching, Brigham said

    •May 1990 - During a Blue Jays game, hotel security and police throw out a man who was seen masturbating behind a hotel room window that overlooked the baseball diamond. Police said the man thought he was behind a one-way window. (Ooops!)

    •May 1990 - A couple has sex in one of the 70 hotel rooms overlooking a ball game attended by 55,000 fans. The couple -- who apparently weren't aware they could be seen with the lights off -- were "mortified." The incident received media attention around the world, including five minutes on The Arsenio Hall Show.

    •May 1995 - In front of 40,000 fans, a couple has sex in a chair right next to the window overlooking the field during the 7th inning of a Jays-Royals match. The couple were seen right above the then-Jumbotron (now the Rogers Centre videoboard)

    •May 1996 - At a Jays-Red Sox game attended by 31,000 fans, a couple puts on what reporters dubbed a "20-minute sex show." Hotel staff consider making waivers more explicit, and even installing one-way glass in the diamond-side rooms.

    •September 1997 - Reporters and cameramen spot a couple, tucked high up in the cheap seats of the SkyDome, having sex

    not sure why they wouldn't dig up the video of the dude. you would think they have some someplace on it.

    shouldn't be too hard to find if we believe the white sox were involved last year.

    I'm going to guess it was game two of the series. Game one of the series was the Blue Jays home opener and it would've been impossible to pick out one guy in the audience.

    Alex Rios would know if the Blue Jays were doing it when he was here in early 09.

    It seems that one day the Nationals will be at least an interesting team.

    saw a projected lineup for 2013 on BA this week

    1B Morse or Norris
    2B Rendon
    SS Espinosa/Desmond
    3B Zimmerman
    LF Werth
    CF only question mark (rumors of desmond moving there)
    RF Harper
    C Ramos

    Strasburg, Cole, Zimmermann give a solid foundation for a rotation. They definitely have some nice young players
