Giants drop first game in Coors, 6-4

It went about as you might have expected.

There are Coors Field games where it seems like everyone's playing on the moon, where the ball floats over the fence on check swings, and it never happens for the good guys. There are Coors Field games where the outfield seems six acres deep and the third base line and first base line meet at a 120º angle. This was one of the latter games. This is not how Abner Doubleday meant it to be when he came back from Vietnam and invented baseball.

Oh, sure, you can argue that the Giants can take advantage of the thin air and spacious outfields, too.
