My friend Stephen and I (check out his DJ material at http://steviedvd.wordpress.com) were looking to get tickets to Opening Day a few weeks ago. We originally saw them for 70, 60, and finally 40 bucks. He hasn’t missed Opening Day in ten years, and I was jumping at the possibility to go to my first Opening Day, especially after missing most of the games last season. I already had tickets to Opening Night, but hey, I couldn’t pass up this opportunity.
The atmosphere at the stadium was electric, one of the more exciting games I have been too. I was a bit worried that Tim Hudson was dealing, and throwing some nasty stuff up there for the first five innings. Thankfully, a former Brave, hit a crushing blow, against the newest Brave in the bottom of the ninth. Renteria’s blast off of Wagner produced an electric shock across the whole stadium.
I haven’t heard that place that loud in all the games I went to. The game finally was capped off by an Aaron Rowand hit in the bottom of the 13th inning, it was the most beautiful day I have ever seen in the city without a cloud in the sky, and now it was complete with a victory.
Opening Night didn’t produce a victory; however it did show that the Giants weren’t going to go down without a fight. They had multiple opportunities to score, with Uribe getting intentionally and unintentionally walked to face Eli Whiteside. Whiteside proceeded to ground out to short, where Yunel Escobar and his rifle arm made an outstanding play, and the next at bat was a strikeout. If we would have scored in either of those innings, maybe the outcome would have been different. This brings up the point of having Buster Posey on the roster. Whiteside is great to throw the ball to, the pitchers love him for it, but he can’t hit whatsoever. On a roster that is in a serious need of a jolt in the offensive department, just tell Bill Neukom to cough up some of the bucks to pay Posey early. Buster has been killing the ball down on the farm, and he could spell Huff and Molina a few days a week. The clock is ticking on this move to be made. I must also give props to Todd Wellemeyer for pitching a great game, even though the final box score didn’t reflect it. Finally, I loved the energy of the children sitting next to me; the three of them didn’t stop dancing the whole time. Giants fever baby!!
