So I was at the game, in section 323, row 1, seat 15. Completely surrounded by Doyer fans. I violated my "only sit in the terrace when the doyers are in town" rule, and regretted it instantly. Figured I'd put my thoughts down here, and others that attended could follow with their own.
Wish I had taken pictures, but I forgot my camera in my truck. OH CRAP, I just realized why we lost!! My truck was there. Meaning I had driven to the game. For all of you 2008 GLB'ers who know what my truck does to the Padres, I whole heartedly apoligize.
Thoughts...
1) was at the Cox Communications pre-game party at Hotel Solemar beforehand, and saw Mud and Steve Quis there. Quis was just sort of floating around hitting the food, not really talking to anyone. Seemed kind of awkward.
2) First Opening Day I've ever been to where there were more fans of the opposing team than the Padres. That was very disheartening.
3) I like Eckstein. His sacrifice bunt was the first successful small ball i have seen from these guys in a while.
4) Adrian absolutely killed that ball that hooked foul. Baseball truly is a game of inches.
5) that Mujica guy isn't bad. He looked like he had some good stuff and froze Manny with a great pitch.
6) I think when they collapsed on the mound to council Gregerson (which, by the way, sounds like a fake name) they said "remember how the weather was today? well in Portland, it NEVER GETS THAT NICE" and he got that double play.
7) Kouz. Come on dude. 5 LOB's (that I remember). Not helping out the cause here. Crap, even Khalil hit 1 for 5 and got an RBI today.
Anyone else at the game? What did you guys think?
