In the City

Giants.....6
Cubs.......3

No HRs. No problem. 'twas a great game. the giants in particular had a few spectacular deffensive plays, as well as a few embaracingly bad ones. but the cubs made at least 3 HUGE blunders that cost them at LEAST thoes 3 runs that they lost by.
(they left third base uncovered due to the huge shift for Bonds and a runner was able to advance. they let drop a routine fly ball that allowed a run to score. and the pitcher over threw the first baseman on what should have been a routine force out after a bunt.) so, with a little help from our friends, the giants pulled it off.

but i dont want to diminish the achievements of the giants themselves.... Dustan Mohr had an incredible diving catch to get the giants out of a tough ining, and Noah Lowry, out starter, pitched pretty well and at one point picked off a runner.

also, it was the 8th birthday of our beloved mascot Lou Seal, and so we had several honored guests, including the Niner's own "Sourdough Sam", the A's "Stomper," the Warrior's "Thunder," the Shark's "Sharky," as well as mascots from the Blue Jays, the Reds, and of course, the Philly Fanatic. the mascots put on quite a show before and during the game, doing what they do best. its stupid entertainment, but its entertainment nonetheless. (i especialy liked how they rushed the singer of the national anthem and carried her off the field. she was a 10 year old girl from Santa Rosa, just north of here, who did quite a good job with the song that is too often butchered.)

(Al Davis, the Raider's mascot, was unable to attend.) OH!
