Last Wednesday's game was my crew's first game of the season. As such, our return warranted a walk around the park to see the new additions... in my opinion, the absolute best change is the widening of the walkway between the bleachers and left field. Traffic jams no more, I say!
A close second is this angular sculpture of Willie "The Catch" behind centerplate... he looks like an old Nintendo hero.
The return to the ballpark during the regular season also allowed me to finally get new clothes for Buster Bunny... there's no way I can ask the real Buster for an autograph when lil' Buster Bunny's uniform is signed by Andres Torres!
Matt Cain pitched nine complete innings without allowing a single run and the game progressed quickly. The thing is, Cliff Lee of the Phillies did the same. The game went into extra innings and became a series of double plays accompanied by groans from the crowd. The game was so intense and we were so bent on getting a win for our first game that it was as if we were watching the Giants in the 2010 post-season... it was that important to us. Why, why must every single game be such a difficult act of labor for the Giants!? This is far too early to be playing the rally clips.
Finally, the Giants timed everything right and Melky Cabrera got a huge base hit while a runner was on second.
Such a stressful beginning to the season for us!
