Saturday was a cold night at Gillette Stadium. If I'd been thinking, I would have sent Mom and Dan off to the game together and I could have stayed home and watched in warmth. But, I love my Revvies so it was worth braving the cold. Dan said Mom knew how cold it would be so only feigned an interest in going to the game so she could bow out gracefully. That's between the two of them.
First half of the game was okay. The second half was much better. I had been telling Dan that I hoped they put team captain Steve Ralston in for the second half as he's been out with injury since late last season. Ralston, Ra-Ra as I like to call him, is a very smart player and can change the whole feel of the team by just being on the field. My hope was fulfilled and Ra-Ra played the 2nd half and it was like watching a totally different team. At half time they were down 0-1 and ended up winning 2-1.
Cap, I'm not sure I'd be too proud rooting for FC Dallas. They were kind of nasty team and as for their goalie I have only one word to describe him, FAKER!!!
Here are a few pics from the game. Anyone that accompanies me to a Revvies match must pose for the obligatory self portrait with me. Even though Dan isn't looking at the camera in 2nd picture, it's definitely my favorite of the two. Just my opinion.

You guys look like you are having a lot of fun. You also seem to be wrapped up to fend off the cold. How cold was it? Sounds like it was a fun game to watch.
Well done Revvies! Glad it was a good season opener. Were you pleased with the seats you chose?
When I go to the match in the fall it will be my second! The first was several years ago and I thought they were such a nice bunch of 'boys'. I'll try to get my friend Brendan O'Driscoll from Cork to go with me. He lets me know what is really happening on the field, and tells me that American 'football' is like the minors in baseball. What is he talking about?
We had to cover the plants last night. It was down to 32 deg. Thanks to Karl I now have a thermometer on the Blog.
Our Rangers won, and half the staff was off. Hope we can win at least 50% this year. Batting 100 % for now!
Pics look great. Have a nice day.
