Play ball

It's that time of year again. No, not baseball season. Garlic fries season.

We headed to the ballpark tonight to catch some pre-season action between the Giants and A's. This game was, of course, monumentous because it was our first as Giants season-ticket holders.

This is our view from the Bob Uecker seats. We know, it's not much, but it's ours.

We are, however, close to the big Coke bottle and glove.

The Giants squeaked it out in the 10th and won, 6-5. For exhibition baseball, a pretty damn entertaining game.

What's also cool is there is a brand-new Safeway at the corner of 4th and King. It's a pretty cool store and is the ideal store to stock up on foodstuffs for the game. What is absolutely mind-boggling is there is a Starbucks in the Safeway and, two storefronts to the east, on the same block, a Starbucks. I just started pointing in the middle of the sidewalk. I felt just like Lewis Black.
