Went to the best ballpark in Baseball on Saturday. We went to watch the Giants play the Dodgers. It was one heck of a Game. Even though Barry Bonds didn't play, the giants still put on one heck of a show. Jason Schmidt pitched for the Giants and as usual, he did a great job, though it was stressful, again usual for Schmitty.
It was one of the best baseball games that I have ever seen, including a blown homerun call by the umpires, which gave the Giants a 4 to 1 lead, which was actually corrected, and Ray Durham ended up grounding out instead. but man what a shot, it was foul which was incredibly obvious from where we were sitting. It was ruled a home run by the home plate umpire. But later reversed after the umpire's had a conference.
It was an emotional win for the Giants who one the game in the bottom of the 8th inning on a single by Omar Vizquel, who drove in Dan Ortmier (a rookie only up for a few days now). We were all thrilled to be able to see the game and to see the Giants go a game ahead of the Dodgers in the NL West. Only 5.5 games behind the leading Padre's who have been colapsing over and over, and we can only hope that their late night heroics last night are not going to continue.
