We are in the middle of the longest homestand of the year and the G-Men are 4 and 2 (2 and 2 against the Snakes and 2 out of 3 against the Mets) with the Mets on deck tomorrow and the Giants going with Blake Snell, who was absolutely hammered last Friday (17-1 loss) against the Snakes. I was at the Friday Snell game and stayed until the bitter end – that is what we do in San Francisco even if the park is cold and a million seagulls circle the field looking for Alfred Hitchcock. The Irish coffees helped.
Tonight, Logan Webb was nails (7 plus innings and up 5-0) and even if Taylor Rodgers blew the shutout, Doval came in and got the save. Tomorrow is Snell’s chance to right his ship at the closing day game of the Mets series.
I’m not sure how to describe the new Doval walk-up music and light show except to say it must be seen to be believed. It is worthy of a Winterland set on a Friday night with Big Brother and the Holding Company (for those old enough to remember the Winterland pyrotechnics).
The weekend series is against the Pirates, who as of today are 13 and 11 and 2 games behind the Brewers in the NL Central. Look for Conner Joe, Brian Bednar, and our old friend Andrew McCutchen. It’s also a giveaway day for the kids before the G-Men go on the road for a 9 game road trip against the Red Sox, the Phillies and the Rockies.
On the board ready to be picked up are:
FRI 4/26 [7:15] Pirates – 2 – Fireworks Night
SUN 4/28 [1:05] Pirates – 4 – Youth Baseball Jersey Day
Let the torture continue!
Ciao, and GO GIANTS!
The Czar
We use mail chimp so give permission for the blog to arrive in your mailbox if you want to receive the blog and participate in the fun. Past blogs can be found at www.beveragelaw.com at the Czar’s blog archive.
THE PROTOCOL: The firm has four seats in Section 118 (Premium Lower Boxes), Rows 25 and 26. These are awesome seats directly below the press box and 25 rows behind home plate on the left side behind the screen. It is foul ball territory for left-handed batters so bring your glove – I have collected 22 foul balls myself over 23 years and am looking for more. If we don’t use all the tickets ourselves (or clients and friends of the firm don't claim them by calling me and reserving a game), then my next step is to give the tickets TO THE FIRST PERSON WHO GETS BACK TO ME PROVIDED THAT THEY ARE SERIOUS. If you ask for the tickets and don't use them, you will be taken off the list unless there is a seriously good reason. There will be a wait list.
When there are four seats available (we split up a lot of games) we will allocate the tickets two and two if the first people back just want two tickets. You can also go for four and might get them. I'm the Czar, my call.
Oh, and BTW, The Czar found the original Hinman & Carmichael brick from 2000 (after looking for it every year since 2000) and found H&C’s Gotham Club Founders Bat! If you are on the patio, or in the Club, look for the symbols of baseball!
