So it begins......

As I sit here waiting for my first client of the afternoon, I have some time to reflect on things that happened in the last few weeks. So, since last time I updated this the Giants broke from Arizona to come home for a few exhibition games against the A's. I went to the game on Monday April 2 with my nephew and some co-workers. I ran into a few people that I used to work with and that I was happy to see them working in different places. Normally I would have stayed the whole game, but due to it being an exhibition game and most of the regulars were out by the 6th inning, I took off around 9pm. On the way to the car I bought the hand tossed caramel popcorn to take home to my wife. At the ballpark it was warm, but after the 20 min or so ride home, it was not so warm.
*Regarding the way the Giants have opened up the season, it was very frustrating. the Giants have one of the best "Big 3" starting pitchers (Timmy, MadBum and Cain) and the lot could not pull out a win in Arizona. Timmy and MadBum did not look comfortable, Cain pitched well until late in the game. A few missed opportunities and errors helped the D-backs come all the way back to get the win and a sweep. I made a comment after the game that Barry Zito would be the one who got the Giants their first win of the season. *On Monday, Zito threw a shut-out against the Rockies. Next up on the bump will be Timmy and MadBum before the home opener on Friday with Cain back on the hill. a slow start, but I am looking for a strong finish. It is a marathon, not a sprint.
*The fantasy league I created is really fun, I think that this may be a hobby for me and select people going forward. I usually only care about the Giants stats, but with this it brings all the teams to life and has made me look forward even more to baseball.
* For lent I gave up the use of Twitter and I am proud to say that I stayed away, but now I am back and ready to tweet up a storm!
* WrestleMania 28... Once in a Lifetime... Here is a quick recap of the results and my thoughts:
-> World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan vs the 'Great White" Sheamus... Sheamus wins in 18 seconds, new champion... my thoughts.. well it was an 18 second match, really a waste of talent.
-> Randy Orton vs Kane... Kane defeats the viper, I had picked Kane to win this one. Not too bad of a match for their skill set.
-> Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes vs Big Show.. Big Show wins, new champion! I figured Big Show would win, as the lead in to the match had Cody getting the better of him and showing him up.
-> Kelly Kelly and Maria Menounos vs Beth Phoenix and Eve Torres.... The celebrity guest almost always wins, not too surprising that KK and MM won this one.
-> Team Johnny vs Team Teddy... it was obvious that team Johnny would win and help him gain control of Raw and Smackdown
->The End of an Era match: Undertaker vs HHH with HBK as guest referee. I knew that they wouldn't screw the Undertaker and have him lose, but it came close a few times to look that way. If this was the end for all 3, it was a great way to go. The last shot of Undertaker, HHH and HBK hugging at the ramp was awesome
->WWE champion CM Punk vs Chris Jericho 'Best in the World" match. I wanted Jericho to win, but it was the best thing to have Punk go over to further the storyline. Probably the best match of the night.
-> good use of time: Hall of Fame 2012 showing up for applause
-> Waste of time, Flo Rida, MGK, Brodus Clay and the dancing grandmas
->Once in a lifetime... John Cena vs the Rock. I thought for sure that Cena would win. I even said during the day that the only way that Rock would win would be with some interference and I would be shocked if he won cleanly. Well I was shocked. The Rock still has it and Cena should be given props for being a great company guy to do the job.
*The next night on RAW Brock Lesnar return and gave an F5 to Cena much to the excitement of the crowd. Let's see where this goes from here.
-well, maybe there will be an extra blog this week or early next week. We are still looking for apartments so we may have a new place soon.
Stay classy!
