Hello Inter-league play

Inter-league play has begun...The annual race to find out which league has better teams has  begun.  Each year around this time, teams begin playing teams from the other league, sometimes it's a geographic thing: Dodgers vs. Angels, Mets vs. Yankees; Arizona and Detroit.  So much for that theory...Giants opened against the Chicago White Sox Friday evening.  Temperature was 75 at 7:15 game time.  Fans were wearing shorts...JONATHAN SANCHEZ threw 6 2/3 really good innings, but getting that last batter in the 7th proved fatal: Alexi Rameriz, who physically reminds me of Gino Velez, smacked his first major league home run with Nick Swisher aboard.  They were the only two runs scored all nite...In pre-series interview, the much maligned A.J. Persinski said he didn't kick trainer Stan Conte in the groin, nor did he refuse to stop his card game to review teh hitters for that evening's game.  He did however hit into a major league leading 47 double plays.  OUCH!!!...In case you haven't heard, Peter Macgowan is stepping down at the end of this season.  His 16 years are enough and he wants to spend more time with his grandkids.  He did bring Barry Bonds to the Giants and got a privately funded stadium built, the first in nearly 40 years.  All hail Sir Peter...Two more with White Sox Saturday and Sunday, then it is on to Colorado, Florida and Arizona for nine.  Team returns home May 30th for three with struggling San Diego.
