Lmao - that was the same ump.
Yep, I was there, with my daughter. Dave Dravecky, a former pitcher for the Giants who had his pitching arm amputated due to cancer, tossed out the first ball, so it was pretty emotional stuff.
It's funny, I was wearing me Dodger Blue leather jacket with all these World Series patches on it, i.e; 1959, 1963, 1965, 1981, 1988, etc, etc.
Some drunken Giants' fan starts harassing me from behind, saying, "Chaaaamppeeeonships, Big Deal" and all this satirical nonsense.
I finally realized that that was his lame-ass attempt to tease me, but being with my daughter, I didn't say anything.
All I wanted to say was, "I can lend you one of the patches if you want."
It was a fun game. We got there early, walked about 7 miles from the train station with a million other people. I ate me hot link and my daughter ordered her loving (barf) garlic fries. She even forced me to eat a few of them so I scraped off the garlic, dunked the french fries into a glob of catsup and chomped away. They weren't as horrible as I thought. But as you and Tony know, God made Garlic for Gravy and Macaroni, not for french fries.
We had fantastic seats in section 110 - not too far behind the Dodger dugout. The fans near us were loud but not that obnoxious. I'll probably go again Wednesday to see Lincecum pitch - first person in here who calls the jock’s room at GoldenGatebytheBay and tells them that Vince be there for the new opener, gets two BCup tix. The problem forn wednesday's game is that Chad Billingsley, who has been pitching quite well lately but keeps pulling something or another, has been scratched, so the Dodgers will have to use like 9 relievers or something. Plus, Hudson hurt his penus last night. I dunno, I hope there's a vet in the house for the next two games. Does Dutrow do baseball players too? Or should Manny’s fertility pills work on Hudson and Billingsley?

ps: Cuz Tony, I hope this ain't too long for you:-)
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
