get that restraining order ready

so, CJ called me on thursday, and asked if i wanted to go to a baseball game. uh, yeah, thats pretty much a no-brainer.

once i found out that the giants were playing the padres, i took it upon myself to find the seats closest to michael barrett and the visiting dugout. i scored seats in section 106, 12 rows up, 30 feet from 1st base off craig'slist at $45 a pop. not too bad.

it was a great game, and CJ and i had a lot of fun. it was nice to be able to go to the game with a girl who actually knows something about the game. but also someone who can still girl-out with me and check out the players' butts.

i got some great pictures, and posted them on my flickr site. here's one of the best ones, of michael barrett smiling to himself after grounding out.




the giants ended up winning in 10 innings. free baseball! and while he wasnt at his best, and got charged with both a blown save and a loss, it was pretty cool to see trevor hoffman in action.

we did have some fun at his expense though. after the game, as we were headed back to the BART, a firetruck and an ambulance drove past me and CJ. i turned to her and said "someone must have called 911, cos trevor hoffman was choking!"

im so funny.

its nice to be able to see games whenever at such a great park. it doenst come close to living a mile from wrigley, but we cant have it all.

in other news, the cubs won AGAIN today for a perfect homestand. where did these guys come from? the more games they win, the less i have to complain about. its pretty crazy.

padres 3, giants 4
rockies 3, cubs 5
