Take me out to the ballgame

gridloreWe went to last night's Giants - A's game, and had a blast. So did the Giants.
San Francisco Giants: 7
Oakland A's: 3
We hit four homeruns, including 2 by Durham and Bonds' 680th. Add in some great defense by both sides and a friendly rivalry (for the most part) and it was great night at the ball park.
We did have one heart-stopping moment when I thought I had lost our tickets, but other than that the night was hassle-free. Our seats were near the top of the park (Section 304, row 14) but we still had an excellent view of everything. I think I missed one good play because of the sight lines. Our view across the bay was fantastic.
Since we got there a bit early, Kirsten and I walked around the park. We saw the Rawlings exhibit (where they make bats, including custom signature bats for you.. a Doug Berry signature bat...) and went to some areas of the park we hadn't seen before. Then we climbed the stairs to our seats. Note to SBC Park: Not everybody has the same size ass. Kirsten has requested that the next time we both go to a game, that we head back to the bleachers.
We got swag, of course. I got a new Giants t-shirt (the Pitch To Barry shirt was tempting) and Kiri grabbed a Lou Seal key chain and of course, a Walker.
We brought the new radios, and they really helped. Kirsten called me when she went to get food to ask what I wanted to drink (beer!) and then to get me to come down and help her carry things. We were less concerned about getting separated in the mob leaving because we knew we could contact each other. So they are an official Good Thing.
(They're walking Bonds right now...)
I really need to get to more games.
