We'll take these one-run games if that's all we'll get -- after some of the recent beat-downs from the SoCal division rivals, it's fine to just squeak by for the time being. What I'd like to see is Woody restore his good name, get a strikeout or two and maybe give the G's a little momentum with a win tomorrow. But for tonight, hat's off to V-rod and Herges for keeping them at bay in the end
Let's go Giants!

With San Diego coming in with a 9th inning rally, bowling over the Giant's bullpen you just have to stare in disbelief as the three run lead that the Giant's enjoyed at the onset of the 9th evaporated into one. After coming off the high of Grissom and Bonds launching back-to-back home runs (and Bonds acquiring the number of man, 666), it's just inconceivable to have that victory snatched away. The rain pouring down was making it seem all the more grim.
But no need for dispair! It wasn't so bad. At the end of the night, it's another one run game but this time the G's were on the good side of it and the four game losing streak is snapped. Sighs of relief were audible far and wide.
Runs | Hits | Errors | |
San Francisco Giants | 4 | 7 | 2 |
San Diego Padres | 3 | 8 | 1 |
While I'll miss Jeff Kent's contributions to the Giants, it's hard not to take a little pleasure in seeing a little late inning beat down with Bond's 3 run HR in the 8th (number 659 for his career, Say Hey!)
Runs | Hits | Errors | |
San Francisco Giants | 5 | 10 | 0 |

Happy Opening Day!
