To be or not to be at AT&T
My wife, daughter and I are headed up to the Bay Area this weekend for her 30th birthday with plans to take in all the usual tourist attractions: Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island and Fisherman’s Wharf with a few cable-car rides mixed in between.AT&T Ballpark, however, is on the bubble at this point.
Five reasons we won't visit AT&T this weekend:
1. No Barry Bonds (and without him, the Giants had ONE .300 hitter in the lineup tonight).
2. No Kevin Correia. Yeah, you’ve never heard of ’em, but I went to college with the Giants right-hander who is out with a side injury and won’t be taking his very deceiving 1-3 record and 4.50 ERA to the hill.
3. Interleague play. It was old 10 years ago, and Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski has been on my nerves even longer.
4. ONE “Splash Hit” this season.
5. It’s May 16 and the Giants are already 8.5 back.
Five reasons we might just (gulp) visit AT&T:
1. No Barry Bonds.
2. Interleague play. Sure the players suck and play for losing teams, but when will San Francisco ever get a chance to watch Ozzie Guillen go bonkers, punch out an umpire, jump into McCovey Cove and swim to Alcatraz for some mother-bleeping solidarity?
3. Masanori Murakami Bobblehead Night.
4. Six-pack of tickets will only set you back $75. I paid that for a single standing-room only seat last summer.
5. I heard the fishing out at McCovey Cove is on fire now that it hasn’t seen a boat or a baseball in months.
