SOMEWHERE AT 30,000 FEET BETWEEN ATLANTA AND DALLAS -- Greetings from Delta Flight 2411, where I'm surrounded by idiots in Texas Rangers gear. Y'all are going to be putting that stuff away real soon. Go Giants!
Looking forward to picking up some World Series gear in Arlington before heading to the rink to hear from Craig Rivet. I'm curious as to whether he'll pull a Lindy Ruff and give up the captaincy and get a trade after getting benched Friday, or if he'll use it as motivation. Either way, should be an interesting chat. He was obviously too angry to talk Friday night when I approached him.
That situation is probably the only thing that's keeping me at the Sabres game tonight instead of calling in sick to go watch the Giants. Well, that and my integrity.
Below are the highlight's from Friday's 4-3 overtime loss to Atlanta.
