The first game of the season was a messy affair, with everything flying in the face of the pundits. Giants power up, Lincy stumbles over himself, the rain doesn't fall, and the Giants win. Of course I didn't actually see the game, but I'll comment on it anyway, as is my right in the democratic forum of the virtual community- Sandoval is for real; that single he hit up the middle off a golf tee shows he's Manny Sanguillen plus 5o lbs. The Giants' relief corps will be bad again- maybe slightly better than the last few years, but outside of Wilson, who would you trust? I'm very curious about Ishikawa- he rips a three-run triple to death alley in his first AB as a Giants' starter on Opening Day, and when he takes off his helmet, he looks like a Hong Kong action star. Randy Winn will never hit a ball as far as he that homer. Ever. Renteria made a few nifty plays at short. Rowand muscles up. The faithful stroll out to the High Dive happy.
Giants, over .500 and in first place. Take a picture.

by the way, Dexter will be at Thee Parkside on Thursday night- I'll be there, but don't let that keep you away- who knows how many chances you'll have to see this legend
I was at the game and frankly I don't know what to make of the Giants. As you say, up was down, down was up. I suppose it's entirely possible they are fucking with me. And it is about me of course.
Hell, even the A's scored 6 in their win against the Angels.
Final note, the hot dogs with mustard and onions washed down with beer taste just as good now as ever.
How did you get tickets?
Mike Baus. Then a friend of Liz's gave up tickets 4 rows directly behind home plate. I paid a total of $35. A great day.
Three numbers: 1, 23, 30
The respective ranks in number of fights for the following teams0
Anaheim Ducks
San Jose Sharks
Detroit Red Wings
That's right, last year's Stanley Cup champions are last in fighting majors with 11. The Ducks have 82.
I'm confused, who has 1 and who has 11?
Anaheim Ducks- 82 fighting majors, ranked #1
San Jose Sharks- 39 fighting majors, ranked #23
Detroit Red Wings- 11 fighting majors, ranked #30
Fun Fact: Sharks and Ducks could play in round one in this year's playoff.
Fun Fact 2: Sharks and Ducks had gang brawl at the end of the last meeting.
