Wife’s from Buffalo…I love the place, despite how run down it is.

[21] He’ll be back, but how effective, and for how long? But the good news for some around here is that if doesn’t come back, we get even more Nuñez! Or is the blush off that rose?

I mean..almost 8 months now since he hurt his ankle..

But that does’t mean I am speaking ill of it. I have always had fun there. I am a snow junky as well, so that helps. It sure would be nice to win tomorrow and avoid a friggin’ four game sweep at home to the mets. Bollocks!

Sisters went to Syracuse too…nice campus, not so nice town..

Yankee Stadium should be a single use stadium. Baseball only.

Lots of designations up there. Kenmore was the village. Tonawanda the township. All part of greater Buffalo, I think.

And, at the moment, it’s all more interesting than this shit-ass game.

My dad had luxury box seats for the Bills at Rich Stadium. That’s when OJ was in his prime (even thought the Bills sucked), and he was my hero.

I remember lots of school boy fights. Lots of snow. Street hockey. I don’t think they had Buffalo wings back then.

Glad you folks chose the high road >;)

I’m 60 miles east. lol…. Agreed on the sauce but the Bills are not on my radar. And now, thanks to Chyll, My wife is singing shuffle off
to Buffalo. : )

That’s like being a bride and having your fiance run off with your four younger sisters one right after the other. Awesome wing sauce though and of course… >;)

Now I’m down with Sabres even though they suck. But tonight like last night is a game 7 and that’s
hard to beat. : )
