24: Good write-up on Petco Park today. Yup, even us sometimes forget about that despite all the reminder from you and GY.

First pitch in just over an hour. I’m giddy with excitement. Hooray!

3: That’s a hell of a trade for Pittsburgh. I mean, Kouzmanoff is already a better hitter than Bay.

OT … under the heading of “former Padres in KC” … Tomko with a blown save … Soria with a save …

45: I personally like the upper deck, even with either 1st or 3rd base. They are only 12 buck or so and if you arent way up there you arent too far from the field. Its a great view i think too. You can see eveything that goes on.

46: I vote for “laugh.” But I never liked Bochy, so I guess I’m biased.

I don’t know whether to laugh at Bruce Bochy or feel sorry for him. Not only are the Giants starting at SS a guy that hit .220 in the California League (621 OPS against the league average of 770) but their Opening Day 3B is Jose Castillo, who was cut by the Pirates and the Marlins (Opening Day 3B for those teams — Jose Bautista and Jorge Cantu).

Shouldn’t Bochy just quit? Granted he’d pass on a bunch of money but he might not get another job after the Giants win 50 games this season — look at what happened to Alan Trammell.

43: You can choose to park in the $20.00 lot, sit in club seats and drink your dinner at the park. Others may choose to park on the street, walk in, sit in upper infield seats and bring in a sandwich. It is only elitist if you don’t have a choice.

Love that beer article, man they make a killing on the captive audience. For 9 bucks, I’ll down a 6 pack of Newcastle in the parking lot and wobble my way to the my seat. Is it me, or is good entertainment becoming more and more elitist? IOWs, you have to be able to drop a c-note at minimum to watch a ball game. Guess channel 4 is cheaper, so is the beer in my fridge.

38: Well, that is part of my point although I certainly left it unstated. Headley + Bay will not be better (or not enough better, especially when finances are taken into account) than Headley + Kouz. It doesn’t make any sense to give up either one of them for Bay because they’re both younger, cheaper and likely to be as good or better than Bay over the next several years. Does this help clarify?
