Fireworks Night at the park

There were fireworks after the game tonight, and throughout the game, but the G-Men just couldn't get us a win on day 2 of Opening Week.

We were blessed with some great defense by Bonds in LF, and a two out, 2-2, solo homer to ensure that, at the very least, we would not be shutout again! He looked so good tonight - agile, smart AB's workin' the count, and just solid.

Check out some of these great factoids:
- 20 homers behind all-time leader Hank Aaron;
- Chris Young became the 435th pitcher to surrender a Bonds homer;
- Bonds "vaulted atop the franchise's runs-scored list in San Francisco annals with 1,481, surpassing his godfather, Willie Mays;"
-Bonds career home run total against San Diego: 86 - his most against any team.

But mostly, I have to say, Dave Robert's triple had my heart thumping! He is lightning. And he just runs the bases so efficiently. I love watching him play.

I wanted a win for Cain tonight. And, despite giving up two long balls to SD tonight, I still really like his stuff.

And, thanks for the RBI Pedro - I'll consider it as redemption for yesterday's horrible error.

Let's get out of this losing "streak" fast!

*Also noteworthy: Oakland's Rich Harden threw seven shutout innings on the road in Seattle. And an awesome 5 RBI night for Mark Ellis. A's 1st Win of the season. Go A's!
