Good afternoon all. Tonight marks the first time the Reds will face their former teammate, Jonny Gomes, since his trade deadline move to the Washington Nationals. JG was an outstanding RedLeg no matter what his stats say. I hope JG hits at least one big fly tonight, as long as the Reds win the overall game!!!!! Playoffs or bust --- I'm content realizing the latter is most likely this year. It's been a great ride. Lets Go Reds!
On the hockey home front, the Buffalo Sabres are the talk of every town in New York. I'm more excited for this upcoming season than I've been in a few years. The Pegula regime has created a huge buzz with the purchase of the Sabres, the overhaul of the HSBC arena for the players locker room and workout facilities, the buy out of the Portland Pirates minor league hockey contract, and pruchasing the Rochester Amricans to reunite them with the Sabres for real hometown talent growth.
If you are a Sabres fan and aren't frick'n stoked, for the Sabres upcoming 2011 season, please go to your local hospital and check in. You need to have your pulse checked because your are probably not breathing.
I've got one expectation for this season - Playoffs first round series win. Anything better than that is cake baby! Lets Go Sabres!
Thanks and Cheers from the Cheap Seats.
