I arrived in Da Nang at 9:00am this morning and fired up my iPhone on touchdown, aviation navigation interference be damned. Giants, Mets in the 7th with no score. I’m shouting the news to asians, europeans, hasidic jews, all of whom thought I had lost my mind. And I had. WiFi being what it is at Da Nang Airport, it wasn’t until I got to my apartment that I learned the shocking truth of what our Boys of October had pulled off this time. Bum with a complete game 4 hit shutout? Gillespie the new reigning Barry Zito/Ryan Vogelsong improbable superhero? I will be at my usual seat at the Universal Bar & Cafe 2 at 8:00am Saturday morning for the Giants opener against the Cubs (we are 14 hours ahead of Pacific Time). My buddy Charlie, an ex-pat who owns the joint opens an hour early on big game days for fanatics like me. Best breakfast in Da Nang.
