California Adventure - The Giants lost two out of three to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim who currently along with the Texas Rangers are the two best teams in the major leagues.
Game 1 - Two plays made the difference in the first game of the series. Trout of the Angels smashed a ball up the middle that Cain knocked down recovered and through a runner out at home. In the other play, Mike Theriot of the Giants also hit a grounder up the middle that went through the legs of pitcher LeRoy Hawkins of the Angels to score a Giant run. The relief staff retired the last twelve Angels to preserve a win for Cain.
Game 2 - Zito and the relief staff were rocked but good. Enough said!
Game 3 - We attended this game with thousands of other Giant fans and were very disappointed and discouraged at the outcome. The men in Orange and Black were shut out with just four singles.

Notes - The Angels out homered the Giants in the series 5-0. . . Talked to a couple of Giant fans from Ventura who were attending the game and they said they use to go to Dodger Stadium but will not go again. They asked about hotels in San Diego. We recommended the Omni Hotel five minutes from your hotel room to your seat in Pepco Park. . . In game three the Giants and Angels tied a major league record of no throws to first base by a pitcher in a nine inning game. Ironically I had e-mailed a few of my friends telling them to look for us on television because we had seats that would probably be shown when a pitcher threw to first. . . It seems that every time I try to check on the Dodger game on the out of town score board in right field they covered it with a commercial. . . There were at least ten beach balls forbidden by Angel Stadium that were in play during the game. . . The game was so bad for Giant fans that they even participated in the Wave. . . Seeing Pablo in person last night I revised my thinking on his weight which I don't really think is an ounce over 268lbs.
