San Diego Padres @ San Francisco Giants (game 1)

My first game in San Francisco this year was the opening game of a 3 game series between the San Diego Padres and the San Francisco Giants.  These are games that San Francisco need to win to have any chance of catching the division leaders or the wildcard teams and they should beat them, but then again, they should have beaten Colorado and Arizona but didn't.

I had an excellent view from where I was sitting.
This game was notable for the scoreboard failure - none of the statistics were working, and none of the game videos would play either.  The only information that was there was the positions of the players - even the scores and counts were being updated manually - and as pinch-hitters came in and pitching changes were made, you could watch the live editing of the names by the operators!

In this game, the son of the Giants' manager came into pitch.  He did OK, and completed his inning of work.
