Oracle Park is now open for baseball (no restrictions) but we all hope that everyone is vaccinated and covid free.
The Second Half of the Season started last night with a Bang!
Thursday night in LA the Giants opened the second half of the season with a 9-6 loss to the Dodgers in one of the most entertaining games of the year. The G-Men went down 5-0 after the stack of LA superstars put on a hitting show against Rodan. But then the tide turned, behind a grand slam by Ruf and a short lived 6 to 5 lead in the 7th, the LA team surged back with a grand slam of their own to take the game 9-6. I don’t care how much a fan hates or loves LA or SF but that was great baseball. Friday night (as this is written) is Logan Webb against Ty Anderson.
This is Dodger time of year in LA, and at Oracle. The Dodgers come into town for a 4-game series starting on August 1st after the G-Men finish a 4-game series against the Cubs. Both of those series will be fun, and meaningful.
The Playoffs are in sight, and Juan Soto is on the Board
The Giants 48-44 record puts them squarely in the race for one of the wild card positions at the end of the year if they keep playing the way they have for the last two weeks. What is needed is a major big bat (think Barry Bonds in 1993) and there is one out there to be had – 23-year-old Juan Soto from the Nationals who turned down a $300 hundred something million contract to stay in DC. The kid may be the best pure hitter for power in baseball. What should the Giants give up to get him? You name the price. It’s time to loosen the bank vault and be buyers.
August is almost here and, on the board ready to be picked up are:
FRI 7/29 [7:15] Cubs (4)
MON 8/1 [6:45] Dodgers (4)
TUE 8/2 [6:45] Dodgers (4)
THUR 8/4 [12:45] Dodgers (4)
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 19 foul balls myself over 22 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!
