SF Music Bloggers Attend a Ballgame; Giants Win

Above: Ray Durham knows he's won the game, and is extra pleased he will be sending SF music bloggers home happy.

Adrian at ipickmynose - one of several great San Francisco music blogs - organized a get-together for the various music bloggers in the city, with all of us attending a Giants game earlier this evening. In attendance were Adrian, myself, Christian and Ben from the Bay Bridged, Avery and Emily from the Deli SF, and Oz from HearYa. Adrian live blogged the whole thing on his sidekick - kinda wish I coulda done that. It was a great time chatting it up with the bloggers, eating hot dogs, watching baseball. There was the possibility of Barry Bonds tying Hank Aaron on the all-time home run list, which did not happen. What did happen, however, was quite exciting. . .

I've been nursing a bit of a losing streak in Giants games I attend, and heading into the ninth down 3-2, it would appear my low-scoring team would suffer a nasty fate. But then leadoff man Dave Roberts drew a walk. Mark Sweeney launched a double and Roberts scored the tying run, just barely beating the throw home. A walk and a bunt later, Ray Durham launched one to deep left that landed just in front of the wall, scoring the winning run. A gathering of music bloggers and a Giants win - pretty tough to beat for a Saturday night. For those of you who care about baseball, read more about it here. For those who don't, look out for more label-related posts tomorrow.
