A Cheap Date

We attended our first game of the season on April 22nd with no enthusiasm. The Giants had suffered their fifth straight loss Thursday night and were performing poorly in all phases of the game.

Happy times often result, however, when expectations are low.

The Giants beat the Marlins, 8-1.

We joined the crowd's rousing ovation to Barry Bonds, Florida batting coach.

The predicted rain did not materialize. The night was clear and cool, perfect for baseball.

The tickets for our group cost $16 each. The low price rationalized buying $12 beer (pictured).
Yes, we're definitely a cheap date, multiple meanings intended.
