Section 127 row 1. Right on the Giants bullpen (well, the pen is exactly like it was at Tiger Stadium -- just a mound in the dirt on the 3rd base line...

Look for me.

Sure thing, but given that I've never met you, it will help if you stick with the Charo get-up.

I always wear the Charo get-up when I am in San Fran...cuchi cuchi

Our mutual friend who used to live in Fremont is doing his damndest to get out there for one of the first two games, too, I think. He went to St. Louis a few days ago for Game 5 of the NLCS.

For all the reasons one can/should/better love the spectacle and awesomeness of the World Series, one perpetual risk is that some lazy newspaper columnist will come out and play the "Robinson Crusoe" card, acting like they've suddenly been dropped on a remote Pacific island with no other way of passing the time than by writing, in gripping details, about their strange and foreign surroundings. You know, except with some baseball thrown in.

This year, Jeff Seidel of the Detroit Free Press is more than happy to take up that mantle, penning a column today on how AT&T Park is such a wacky and weird stadium, even though it's apparent he's only ever attended one game in person. Regardless, he has some important views on baseball by the Bay:

Centerfield is not a position where a team can hide a no bat, all glove guy. I think he will add another 10-15 sbs next year, another 5-7 HRs, his strikeouts will drop by 40, and his OBP will climb 30-40 points. Look at what Granderson did between 2006 and 2007. If he can't do that, then there is no reason to have him in the lineup at all, in my humble opinion.

It'll be here. Are you talking about Krotch or Peralta?

The Crotch. Peralta will hit about .290.
