snap the streak

We just snapped our 5-game losing streak!

We knew it would be good when Vogelsong and the team got the first batter out. We knew it would be great when we scored on Whiteside's triple in the second inning!

run!

The K's were a bit more rare this time around but Ryan Vogelsong kept the Twins hitless for at least five innings. Save for a couple of errors, our defense was tight. And we were hitting! Everyone was getting on base and driving batters in. Hero of the night was Eli Whiteside, who smacked in 3 runs on 2 hits.

Finished 5 to 1, with 3 Ks from Vogelsong, 1 from lefty Javier Lopez, and 1 from Sergio Romo.

And as if in response to yesterday's heat, the bay cooled down to a properly chilly night - though I could've done without the wind.

it's gray at AT&T Park but you can see the sun shining over the San Mateo Bridge...
almost looks like a gate into another world (Twilight Princess flash)

Typical weather does not mean typical fans... here a fan in a luchador mask leads the top deck in cheering...

apology for the blurriness... it was a night game

Did I mention the bobblehead? This night's promotion was to raise awareness for several Bay Area charities that focus on helping youth and homeless people, which anyone in San Francisco will tell you is our biggest and fattest blemish on the face of our city. As thanks for attending, those who bought the special tickets (and thereby donated a few bucks to the charities) received a bobble of Freddy Sanchez making his all-important back at the World Series in Texas.

his glove is golden!

Hella awesome.
