GiAnTs and Florida Marliners Game

We decided that this Friday feels like baseball game nite; although S was tired of driving into the city I was excited. We bought tix from scalper Danny, who also showed us free parking and introduced us to free beer. Hand in hand we walked into the AT&T ball pen. At the beginning of the game Bonds hits his 754th homerun (one more would tie him to Hanks Aaron's record) and the game was tied 1 to1. By the time we sat down on the bleachers it was 3rd inning and the Giants were down 6 to 3 (hey, we needed more beer and two dogs with all the works). Bond was standing in the outfield in his tight ass uniform and we appreciate the view from behind. It felt right to be there tonite, as the magic floated in the foggy air lite only by the full moon. This moment in time was perfect! The momentum continued as it seems one after the other, runs and hits were being made, and no one was picked off. By the 8th inning the score was 12 to 9 with Giants overtaking the MArliners. By the top of the ninth inning we sighed a relief as the Marliners scored only one more run. The game was over but the magic lingered as fireworks lit the nite sky over the park to pay tribute to AIDS research until one day there is a cure.
