The Giants actually won tonight! I was ecstatic that I got to attend a game that they won. At least I have that now, unlike last year, where I didn't see a single win. They resoundingly trounced the Mets 10-2, starting with 6 runs in the first inning. Randy Winn hit a solo HR to start things off and things went downhill from there for the Mets. Brian Horwitz, the kid we saw make his debut on Friday, hit a 3-run homer as well. With the exception of some incredibly sloppy playing, both offensively and defensively by Durham, it was quite a game. Sanchez scared me a few times, but in the end he pulled out 7 very effective innings. AND he got a double, which surprised the crap out of me.
I got treated by S, who is back from Kuwait and in town for the rest of the month. It's kind of funny how I really don't know the guy all that well even though I've been communicating with him for several years now. It was my own little personal way of supporting the troops over there. I tried to send him packages regularly and keep his spirits up. But it was nice hanging out with him and getting to know him a little better.
Anyway, it was a fun evening. We met up with his friends there who are the season ticket holders. I loved sitting in the Arcade, which is my favorite section thus far. It's less crowded and has a great view of the field, although triples alley is somewhat obscured.
I got a cha-cha bowl this time, which was great, because it way outranks veggie hot dogs in my book. Halfway through the game S got me a hot chocolate too, which was very happily accepted, if nothing else than for a hand warmer. I don't know the last time I have drank hot cocoa, so that part was a treat, too.
