Shutout - again!!
Third time in 9 games we've been shutout!!! BY THE SAME TEAM!!!!
So Roberts steals second (as is our 2007 game plan) and Vizquel pokes a single. Stupid Flannery holds our FASTEST guy on our team at third!!! Wasn't he the big mouth that said, "We have to be aggressive. We can't count on hitting 3 run homers every time." And what happens next? Aurilia hits into an inning ending double play.
Man on 1st and 3rd with 1 out and we can't even generate ONE run. Pleeeeease.... stick that finger back into my eye!!
Bittersweet... Sharks win in double OT but Cheechoo is hurt.

Can't ever be easy, can it???
At one point, the Giants were leading 6-0. Benitez comes in the bottom of the 9th with a 3 run lead and gives up a 2 run HR to Gonzalez. Followed by a neeeeear miss by Khalil Greene. We hang on by the skin of our teeth and win 6-5.
3 months from now, all will be forgotten. Well...I guess that's why blogs were invented...so I WON'T forget!!
Still IRATE about the Giants...but giddy that it's raining. WOOHOO!!

Just cuz I should...
Opening day 2007... a day to remember, yet a day to forget.
Another day spent with my best buds and my girl at the best experience in Major League Baseball. The day started out with the 2007 Giants Calendar (so painful last year when I couldn't get it). Then it evolved into a semi-dry Amici's pizza which left a lot to be desired. Followed by the introduction of the 2007 Giants...the woeful, lowly 1-5 Giants. Best part of the day must've been when Jon Miller said, "...the MVP of the 1989 season, Leftfielder, KEVIN MITCCCCCHELLLLL..." and "...he was a thrill to watch...Firstbaseman, #22, WILLLLL CLLLLARRRRK...." I didn't grow up watching McCovey and Cepeda and Mays. I can only hear, read, and revere at their marvel. But I did grow up watch the Thrill, Mattie Williams, Robby Thompson, Mitchell's one-handed catch... that's what I grew up watching.
Most memorable part of the day... the count was 3-2 on Bonds. The shift was on, here comes the pitch from Peavy. Bonds takes a weak swing and pokes a single to leftfield pass the 3rd baseman playing short. Within two pitches, the 500-500 man alive swipes a bag to get into scoring position! HERE COME THE GIANTS!!!
Most forgetful (but still very rememberable) part of the day... Durham dribbles a grounder to short. Bonds stops running and starts jogging around the bases when Gonzles drops the throw at first!! Bonds sees it then decides to put on the gas and round third...but is gunned down at home without even a slide. Rally over. So much for playing with heart and effort.
Since opening day, the Giants have scored a total of 14 runs in 6 games. We just got swept by the hated Dodgers....dating back to last season, that would be 9 straight losses to them. Oh.... it's gonna be one long summer....

Good Friday
Truly no man can ransom another, or give to God the price of
his life, for the ransom of their life is costly and can never suffice,
that he should live on forever and never see the pit. Psalm 49:7-9
Our lives are costly...every life that God creates is costly, is precious, is invaluable. Who can give up his/her life for our ransom? Who's life can suffice for the lives of all mankind? Who, but our Lord, our Savior, our Messiah, our friend...Jesus Christ.
Thank you Jesus for your cross. By your cross, suffering and resurrection, you have set me free!

2 phones in 6 years ain't bad...
9/2001 - 3/ 2004
My first cellphone...the infamous 8260 that virtually EVERYONE had. I don't even remember how many times I dropped it and it still survived! It got to a point where soooooooo many people were deserting the 8260, I was collecting their old batteries so I can have one charged up for virtually every day of the week! And if you remember, that's how long the battery lasted -- a day. A very trusty and simple phone to use. LOVED IT!!!
3/2004- 4/2007
One of the first generation camera phones. I was soooo "IN" when I got this. But within 2 months, this phone became obsolete. I never did like that toggle joystick in the middle -- I saw it as a single point of failure. And fail it did. I no longer can toggle "DOWN" with the joystick. If I wanted to go down...I have to go "UP" and wrap around the list. More complicated than the 8260, but manageable nonetheless. Favorite thing about this phone is I could set my wife's picture as the wall paper.
April 2007
The start of a new era! Form, fit and function is exactly the same as my previous phone (so I don't have to learn how to use the widget), but the phone itself is still EXTREMELY new. Most importantly, I don't have to go through the trouble of finding a phone, buying a phone, learning a phone.
