Started off like any other Saturday . . .
Rode on the Oracle Ferry - docked at the Ballpark . . .
Everything seemed welcomingly familiar . . .
It was all "getaway day" business for the Yankees Players . . .
Chad Whitson may need to reevaluate his life choices . . .
Yankees Sweep ! Took the ferry back home . . .
This was the first time in seven years that I went to a Giants home game. I would always go to see the Yankees play in Oakland so there was no reason to go see baseball in San Francisco. The concession prices were easily 40-50% more than they were in Oakland in 2024. (That is a huge difference in cost.) Plus it was the first Fiesta Gigantes Saturday of the season. Every Saturday home game the Giants "celebrate latino culture" by featuring live music and entertainment before, during and after the game. It was crazy, festive and loud in between innings. Then, once the game was over the Yankees players and staff were quickly herded off the field by Jason Zillo and were gone.
Does the Oracle Ferry have anything to do with Larry Ellison?
ReplyDeleteI sure hope not
ReplyDeleteIt is just the name of the express ferry that goes straight to the ballpark

ReplyDeleteAA, you witnessed history (again).
ReplyDeleteMost number of ball/strike calls overturned, ever!
Save your ticket stub. Might be worth something on draft kings dot com or steiner sports.
I am happy to send it to you Rufus. Perhaps when you sell it you can used the money to purchase your new Hawaiian cliff-side Condo
DeleteUse not used
DeleteI have a harborside one and don't need another. Perhaps I'll use it to pay off the enormous mortgage. 🙃
DeleteUnbelievable come back by UCONN!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the report, AA. Looks like a great day for the game.
ReplyDeleteAnd...yeah! I saw the UConn game, and I still can't believe it!
It was Hoss - and although LOUD the musicians/entertainment was far more memorable than what was served up to us by Netflix on opening night.
DeleteA karmic revenge of Duke's Christian Laetner's last second buzzer beater against UConn in the Elite Eight in 1992.
DeleteCarl, was the UCONN game played the the Francis Walsh Intermediate School ?
ReplyDeleteAA..Almost, but one of the janitors mistakenly swabbed the court with glue instead of wax, ala The 3 Stooges, so they moved the game to the Mary T. Murphy school on Cedar Street.
DeleteWatched the first half only and couldn't believe that final score.
ReplyDeleteRufus - there are drugs for that
DeleteRufus, I did the same thing except a bit earlier in the first half when they went down 19. I figured why torture mysel? I checked the score to see by how many points they lost. I saw there were 10 seconds left and down by 3 as Demery was at the line to shoot 2 free throws. Then 10 seconds left after he made one. I still thought they had no chance. The rest is history.
