The Giants are really impressing me. Like many I people I thought for sure the Tigers had a big edge with all the rest and their starting rotation. But here are the Giants poised to beat Verlander pretty good in game one. I guess being hot really does trump being really rested.

Actually I would say that SF had the better rotation while Detroit had the better bats. SF has been lighting up the scoreboard the past few games though. Also much like in football, rest can be an enemy as much as it is an ally. If you are hot, last thing you want is time off. This is what is hurting the Tigers right now.

I was in SF today visiting clients. I had some time to drive over to Pac Bell Park. I was able to ilegally park right in front of the stadium just before noon.

Even though I am a Dodger fan I support my daughters bad Giants habit because at least she is watching sports.

I walked by 6 vendor tents and 1 had WS t shirts. He wasnt open anddirected me to the Giants merchandise store. They told me that the WS gear wouldn't arrive for another hour.

They had plenty of NLCS Champ gear but no WS gear.

I went back to the 1 tent who had the 1 box of WS T shirts and talked the guy into selling me a tshirt for $40. I thought I got taken advantage of.

On the plane ride home I spoke with the gal who had the game on her ipad mid flight who told me she was at the dugout store an hour after me, when they limited everyone outside to 1 person every 2 minutes.

She said she flirted her way to an hour wait to buy shot glasses, polo shirts, hats, wavey towels...but no t shirts. Apparently, I stumbled upon the only box of tshirts in China Basin!!!!

It killed me as a Dodger fan to drop $40 on Giants gear but when my daughter was given her gift her smile was well worth it!
