Dear loyal readers,
I regret to inform you that yours truly, Bob Biscigliano will be taking a brief 3 1/2 day leave of absence. Coincidentally, I will be traveling to Pittsburgh today.
Traitor you say?
I swear I would smack you in the face if you dared saying that to my face. I originally planned this trip to be a weekend of seeing my beloved Detroit Tigers play in what I’ve heard is the beautiful PNC. It’s also not a bad chance to see my team dominate a little bit. After all, they are playing the Pittsburgh Pirates (emphasis on the P’s). However, due to recent events (Game 6), I will also be in Pittsburgh for Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals which is taking place Friday night in Detroit. Therefore, my plans have slightly changed.
In addition to seeing two Tigers games this weekend, it will be my duty as a good samaritan to officially be on suicide watch Friday night after the Red Wings defeat the Penguins. I’m sure I will not be able to stop the couch burning or street riots that may occur, however, I will not let a Penguins fan jump off a bridge into a Pittsburgh river. It’s just not worth it.
At the same time, my life will be significantly at risk all weekend long, especially Friday night. I have never packed my bags ready to go on vacation feeling like I’m going off to war. However, that’s exactly how this feels like. There’s a strong chance I will be mugged, beat up, bombed, raped, or gangbanged. Whatever may happen to me as I drive straight into the thick of the storm, I will wear my classic Stevie Y jersey with great pride and my chin held high. In the words of the great Steve Yzerman, “And for the team, I always tried to do the right thing.” The right thing this weekend is representing Detroit proudly in Pittsburgh
So bare with the blog until Monday afternoon; I will be gone until then, hopefully celebrating four victories all at the expense of the city I’m visiting. Hopefully you’ll see some content from our other esteemed writers to ease the blow, but they are busy people and I don’t know their schedules offhand.
So ladies and gents, until Monday… Detroit4lyfe is in Pittsburgh this weekend! If you are on twitter you can follow my updates, from every time I obnoxiously use “yinz” to every Natty Ice I drink. Either way, enjoy your weekends and Go Detroit!!
Love,
Bob Biscigliano
