They brought the BIG flag! National Anthem honors were performed by active duty personnel aboard a Navy ship via remote video/audio feed. I didn't catch the details (who/where) but it was FAR better than the minor pop stars who usually sing, and who usually insist on putting their personal imprint on the Star Spangled Banner.

A Mighty Swing! Coldest ballgame I've ever been to. By the 5th inning I was so cold that if a vendor had come by offering bowls of steam, I'd have bought one.

OK, David Eckstein is a fine shortstop, but he looks positivly goofy leading off base.

RATS! Well, you're not going to win ball games when you manage only 3 hits against the World Champs.
