Sorry it’s taken me so long to write. It’s a 10 hour round trip. driving, and I added shopping and a stay over, so….
That said, it was an awesome game to be at. Terrific comeback win against a guy who looked unbeatable with a two-run lead. Now the Giants have a 2-0 lead in the Serious, and head into Texas looking to put a hammer lock on the series.
The pitching, outside of a few struggles by Lincecum, has been nails. Cain is able. Freddie is ready. Uribe is a “whole lot of happy.” So am I.
As for my experience at PacBell….
The food is horrible. It’s embarrassing, really. In a city that prides itself on having some of the best restaurants in the world, the shit, the absolute SHIT that they sell should make them hide their faces in shame. Especially at those prices. $9 dollars for a Silver Bullet that is hardly even cool. The hot dogs, at Triple A Club Level, no less, were abysmal. The garlic fries were soggy, and warm. The sushi –in San Francisco, mind you– was inedible. Were I in charge, I’d fire every vendor in the place, save, Cha Cha’s. Somebody told me the brats were good. I didn get one, because not one of the vendors could handle the crowd. There were lines everywhere, for the entire game.
The Giants do so much so well, they handle the history of the team, the fly over was great, Tony Bennett, come on. Awesome.
They were understaffed everywhere, and, inconceivably, left money on the table by being so. It definitely took a little away from the experience. Just a little, but still. Warm beer?
Anyway, great guys in my section, 211, K, 5,6. Parker, I never got your email. Leave me a backtalk with it, and I’ll keep up with your travels in Texas. Fly safe.
To everyone else I partied with… If you leave a backtalk, tell me your seat so I can put a face with the name.
GO GIANTS!!!
UPDATE: Ummm….. Ian? A Silver Bullet is a Coors Light beer, not a slice of pizza. :-0
Other than that…. I am a food snob, sure. But the food I’ve had at PacBell has gotten worse. It’s been ten years since they opened. I was there the day they played the very first baseball game there. Preseason, 2000, against the Yankees. Posada hit it in the water, first home run at PacBell. The food that night was very good, not great, but very good. Wednesday night, the food was atrocious. So was the service.
OK, not what I was there for, fine.
San Francisco is one of the great food cities in the world. The standard is, and should be, higher.

The bag is opening all the time even if the items inside may fall from the bag.
For example, you could possibly put a postcard in the newsagent’s window marketing that your site has a stock of low-cost bicycle tyres that may be delivered for the customers?door.
In the event you definitely would like to, you can back again up the on line product sales having a bit of off line marketing.
On this example, you should go straight on line, make an automated income and payment processing page and advertise it on line from the various strategies out there.
I’ve seen progression in every post. Your newer posts are simply wonderful compared to your posts in the past. Keep up the good work.

Very nice blog you have shared.I’ll never understand people who complain about the food (prices or quality) at a stadium. First of all, you know everything’s gonna be jacked up to double what its worth outside. Even if the garlic fries were crisp could they possibly be worth what they cost?
The Anchor was flowing cold and delicious food.The complain about the food (prices or quality) at a stadium is not good thing.
Like the article!
Enjoyed sitting with you at the game, John. Huge game tonight.
funny how the giants had to go to a real bandbox and face a midlevel pitcher to play again like the giants
hey…is bochy still a genius for playing pablo? i had that guys back all last season…but now, he is just fat…im sorry, not fat…morbidly obese
pat cant see the ball and should not be in the lineup tomorrow….sorry, not rowand…play nate
the rangers dont scare me at all…they play to their park…just like the rox do…hit it in the air and pray it hits the jet stream
2 fucking years without bush and i have to watch 9 innings of him behind home plate? no fucking thank you
and im sure everyone is gonna get down on durty…and he isnt in top season form….but part of the first dinger should be laid at posey’s feet….you dont keep calling for the same pitch over and over…even if it is down
and can we get bonds out of forced retirement to face feliz? kid throws hard….but straight
bench the bat, he’s running on empty, i’d rather see rowand at this point.
and there’s the golden sombrero to finish it off just right, fuck you burrell
…Game 3: Sanchez needs to be taken out early, yet again. He’s not bringing it this October.
The last time I was in Texas a 10-year old kid told me where I could find a whore.
I was out of the state by nightfall.
No thankyoulittlebrother.
Life is good when the only thing to complain about at this time of year is the ballpark food.
Sorta like boinking a supermodel and bitching about the color of the pillowcases.
Um, wasn’t the first game against Selig’s Brewers? I think the Yankees came in the second night, if my very foggy and soggy memory serves.
Maybe you should have gone to Ebisu for your sushi you fat bastard
Or maybe you could have stopped by Tres Agaves for a pitcher of ritas and some street tacos before the game
l0l
I should’ve gone to Ebisu, but we got to SF at 4pm. It was too late.
Giants two wins away, and the obm crew is discussing ballpark food and the pleistocene era when journey was actually good (they played sac town as a glorified bar band, and they were great).
That’s alright; I’m pretty talked out anyway. Even though I caught about a half dozen giant road games this season (mets, nationals, game six in philly last saturday), my first AT&T park game in 2010 was Wednesday nite. I haven’t figured out why, but this was a very different feel than 2002 or the other playoff years. The drama from relying on great pitching (as opposed to the expectation of blasts from bonds/Kent), maybe from following several years of no playoff baseball, maybe the unexpected magic of this bunch. A different vibe this ws.
I can’t deny that I would love another serving of bliss like Wednesday and Thursday night at the yard. But Sanchez rising to the occasion, another steely performance from madam, and a continuation of the parade of line drives from up and down the lineup would too be bliss.
I find the comments about the food to be a bit on the ridiculous side. The food at PacBell is not half bad. First of all what are you doing drinking a Silver Bullet. You lose major credibility right there. The Anchor (which true Giants fans love) was flowing cold and delicious. Second of all, the sheboygan sausages are excellent. Third, STFU about the food and enjoy the game dude – the energy in that ballpark was incredible. Stop complaining and enjoy! What the hell is your problem? Have a few beers (Anchors) and STFU.
hey +mia
this dude agrees with you about journey
http://slumwords.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/please-stop-believin/#comment-221
cant say i disagree with most of his points
i was a journey fan pre perry…remember when the infinity album came out, and thought it was pretty cool that they hired a female backup singer for rollie…then found out it was a dude…then found out rollie was leaving….remember how all my friends kept saying how the new journey was so great….but i missed rollie’s melodic voice
damn…im fucking old
and then we have this dick from texas

he loved the crab sandwich….you shoulda had the crab sandwich
Stay away from that outfield food. It has crabs in it.
There is no good Chinese food in Monterey. Lots of good Mexican food, but Chinese, no.
As long as we are going to bitch about food.
Why, you may ask, is there no good Chinese food in Monterey?
Because there are very very few Chinese people in Monterey.
My home town is Oakland. We in Oakland have great Chinese food.
Monterey, not so much.
I may take the train up for the parade. I’m thinking about it.
The Giants this year have gone from crap to gold. Almost half their payroll is sitting on the bench. There is really good Chinese food in San Francisco, in Oakland too, by the way.
Aaron Rowand hit the ball hard last night.
Is there some place, perhaps San Jose, where I can eat crow? I hear it’s delicious.
why are you spending $9 for a crappy slice of pizza when you can spend $6 on a delicious and filling burrito at a nearby taqueria (there’s one decent one on South Park near AT&T) and just bring it in to the ballpark?
I’ll never understand people who complain about the food (prices or quality) at a stadium. First of all, you know everything’s gonna be jacked up to double what its worth outside. Even if the garlic fries were crisp could they possibly be worth what they cost?
Just take advantage of SF Giants hospitality and bring your food from home or outside. Trust me.
Great fuckin’ minds think alike.
Even the shit in the suites is that…shit. lukewarm cardboard pizza with all the triminings’ onion skins, artichoke leaves, pineapple cores, refried peperoni and rancid garlic they must have snagged from the crisco leftovers in the french-fryer.
The fuckin burgers tasted and looked like they came from an am/pm market that closed in 1948. At least the hot-dogs tasted like dogs…the fuckin “drop the chalupa bro” kind of dog.
The only thing worth a shit that I ever ate there was the cha-cha bowel and a box of krispy-kremes that I swindled from Thighler Walker back in the day.
And who the fuck eats fucking sushi at a fucking baseball game in the States. You get fucking take a wrong turn at the Golden Gate and end up in Nagafuckingsaki? What in the fuck! You deserved to get sick eating fucking crab bait…Fuck dood! Don’t you ever watch Deadliest Catch. Thats not fucking ballpark food. You fucking’ smoke the Mendocino Forest ‘fore you came down? Jezzus fucking christ in a fucking chicken basket, what the fuck is the matter with you. Dumb shit, you’re lucky you didn’t have a nuclear blast in your red thong underwear right there in front of Aubrey Huff, God, Jesus and his twelve fucking cousins and have to be taken out in one of the ball doods Scooter Store rides!
Dumb Ass
D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
At least they have the Ghirardelli sundaes at AT&T
But yeah, absurd prices. Went to Giants games this year in Washington and Philadelphia and the concession stands were noticeably cheaper (which is almost hard to believe).
Yeah. But that more than does not make up for the fact you were in Washington…the worst city in the world next to Philadelphia
Not sure that I can agree about the food either.
I remember reading an article a few months back that rated the food at all the MLB ballparks, and AT&T was rated #1, and that generally coincides with my impressions as well (and I have been to 23 of the 30 parks, along with a fair amount of parks that have since closed). Perhaps they were having a rough night or something, but by almost any objective measure, AT&T food is among the tops in the league.
john, seems you are the only one who has complained about the food
ya, the prices are outrageous….but from what i hear (and i wont eat ballpark food) its some of the best in the majors
in my life, i have never been to a ballpark that didnt have lines at every food kiosk….so im not sure what you are complaining about there
Yeah Unc. You know who says its the best food in MLB? The same fucking doods that tell you that Amici’s is the best pizza in the world, thats who. You ever try and eat one their fucking ptomaine specials? Here’s a clue. Spread some ketchup, a moldy tomato, some toe cheese, bacon rind, toasted moldy wonderbread flattened out with a Fram oil filter, cook at 98.6 degrees for 84 hours and top with sushi from Pacbell.
The same people who clued us all in about WMD, no-new taxes, temporary fee increases, temporary rent increases, temporary pay cuts, temporary interest rate hikes, the war will be paid for by reduced oil prices and lower gas prices and sub-prime loans.
Also Bud Selig recommends ballpark food.
i wont eat ballpark food
stopped buying the beer too
i bring my food with me.
i find the markup to be sick
i do like going to minor league games and buying the beer there….its much cheaper
so what the fuck is forbes talking about then??
