Giants / Padres - Opening Night Photos (Brian Won'tson Edition)

Bengie Molina finally settles into his cleanup hitter role, hammering two homers to help the Giants win.  Unfortunately, Brian Wilson hasn't exactly taken ownership of the closer role, and his shaky outing cost Tim Lincecum the win in an otherwise well-pitched game.

I had great seats down the third-base line for tonight's game, so there are LOTS of pictures of warming up pitchers.  Let me know if there are any you'd like to see in full resolution (4000x3000, or 12.1MP).

Enjoy!  This is it on the photos for now, probably until I head to Chicago for the Cubs / Giants series in July.

Cubs/Giants

Got tickets yet? If not, good luck they're sold out. And man, are tickets expensive for Wrigley!

Great photos as usual. I have never seen that rally seal image on the scoreboard...that scares the pee out of me.

I'm glad he did so now we can be prepared for it. it would certainly be tragic to see the Rally Seal on the scoreboard at a game and then be driven to insanity by the image.

It's Creepier in Real Life

The mouth part is actually a person's mouth, and it sings along to "We Will Rock You". You cannot fathom the nightmares I will have as a result of experiencing this in person.

WTF. I'm not sure if I should be sober or not at the ballpark anymore. Being intoxicated while seeing that...

Excellent Pics

Watching on TV, it sounded like an excellent crowd. Those that hung in there for the extra innings made plenty of noise, old-school style. GAMERS!

I'm going to tonight's game, hopefully warmer than last night.

Eagerly awaiting Crazy Crab Bobblehead Night on 7/18.
