Boy am I glad I waited to buy tickets. I don’t think I’d even $4 tickets are enticing enough to get me to go watch that.
(Plus the $50 for train ride out to SF)

Giants website does have Palmer as the pitcher. Looking at the Marlin’s website, it looks like they hit a lot of homers. Of course compared to the Giants…
