Lincecum!

It was Until There's a Cure Night in San Francisco, and the SF gay men's chorus performed beautifully in pre-game ceremonies.



It was a beautiful night & the kids were excited to go to our first game of the season.



Everyone was anticipating the Cy Young Award winning Tim Lincecum pitching for the Giants.



From the beginning, he was sensational.



Strike after strike. Zero after zero on the scoreboard.



The Giants played good defense. Lincecum drove in their first run.



The crowd got louder as the game went deeper.



Baseball fans on Friday nights are usually the most knowledgeable of all week. Friday nght is a serious baseball night for fans.



The clouds at sunset looked like cotton candy, said my daughter.



When Lincecum struck out the final batter in the 9th inning, the place went crazy. The Giants won, 3-0, Lincecum threw his third career complete game and his second shutout -- all at home, on a Friday night, against the cross Bay rivals in an inter-league game with a big crowd.

I saved our tickets for their memory boxes.
