The Earth has righted itself on its axis once again with the 2009 baseball season well and truly launched with a grand Opening Day game at AT&T Park and a win for the Giants, who scored 10 runs to the Brewers' 6. The weather forecast was dire—rain, thunderstorms, possibly even hail—and indeed, it rained on our way down to SF, and poured on our way home. But not a drop fell during the game. Rather, we were blessed with beautiful clouds mixed with blue skies and almost no wind, making our bleacher seats very pleasant. The fans were happy, the beer and cha-cha bowl were delicious, and a good time was had by all (except possibly by the Brewers).

I got a Matt Cain bobblehead in my Mystery Grab Bag!
These two know how to show their love.
The four fan-atics
These guys call themselves the Rat Pack and sang "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch. The one portraying Dino was truly bizarre.
Matty's got his game face on.
