(Thank-you Roger for taking care of that for me. I guess I did have another song with cry in it, but I think I already used it a few days earlier and didn't want to reuse it and so soon.) I'm Workin' - Tim McGraw

Eh I'll give you permission to brag, Roger. Especially about your hero. It is neat to think of what he had accomplished and was able to do. Never realized or noticed that they retired Jackie Robinson's number from all of baseball, that was neat. So maybe one day they will do that for number 21 for your Clemente. Hopefully...baseball and all of entertainment today need more people like that, like the example Clemente seemed to be when he was a live and played baseball. As I said earlier, Ryne Sandberg is my all time favorite baseball player and was my hero growing up...he played second base for the Cubs for all of his professional career. Was a good hitter and field player and a team player. The Cubs retired his number 23 when he retired...not trying to compare him to Clemente because as far as I know of he didn't go out and save people when he wasn't playing baseball. But was a great player and all that i have heard of him and seen of him, seems to be a good person too. He too is in the hall of fame, though I think he waited the five years at least to get inducted into it. I think a little more so. Thank-you Roger for all this info - I find it all very interesting! My baseball knowledge pretty much stays with the Cubs with a few from other teams and top players, but not a lot. I mainly stay with my Cubs, so it is always interesting to learn about about other teams and other players...especially the ones from the past. I only know a little about some of them. So it is all very interesting to me. I knew Clemente's name and that he was a good player before this thread, but that was it.

Saw you had a page on MA's submitted page and wanted to say it is great to see you back.
A late congratulations on being the fan of the month - you know what they say? Better late than never, I guess. -
Glad to see you back, Emy. Welcome back!

Wow Roger...he sounds like an awesome baseball player and person! What a great role model he was to all those that looked up to him and watched him. Thank-you for the info. As I said, I knew he was a good baseball player but that was about it. LOL... yeah if ol' Banks himself thought it was a long time since the Cubs won the World Series, it'd be ages now since they last won the World Series. Over a hundred years. 2008 was said to be the Cubs year...a hundred years later and all. They had a great season that year...won 97 games and was on top of their division. Went to the play offs only to lose the first three or four games to get out of the play offs all together. Great season and poor off season. Then they were plagued by injuries last year and didn't do much of anything. As I always say, there is always next year...this is the year! LOL I agree...all the more reason to go for the Cubs. But I am biased there since I'd root for them to win the World Series every year...

What a Crying Shame - The Mavericks (OK I know it is Crying and not cry. Let me know if I have to go find another song title. It is the only one I could think of on teh top of my head.)

The last time the Cubs won the World Series...this is going to be painful to admit...is 1908. I use to remember the last time they were in it...want to say sometime in the fifties, but could be wrong about that. But the last time they won it was in 1908. They do have a salary cap if I remember right, but can't remember what it is. They have some good players playing for them, so I don't know what's the deal is. Last year they had someone on the DL all the time it seems - once one player got healthy another got hurt and so forth. Hopefully this will be their year (as I say every yeary). I just hope that I will at least be able to experience them winning the World Series before I die...It'd be great if they'd do what the Red Sox did. I agree...the teams willing to pay top dollar for each player is the teams that are the ones always in the World Series. Be nice to see a new team in there every other year or so...like the Cubs...or the Pirates. Roberto Clemente? Know he's a baseball player but that is about it. HOw he rescue people off the field?

Thank-you Roger! I almost forgot about it! Woo Hoo! I finally got to the thousand mark post. Now if only you'd stop posting and creating all them fun threads you do, I just may catch up with you.

Oooo I will be watching the race and looking for the pink Aflac hat!!!! Too bad that it isn't like baseball where they do show the fans, not too often do they show the stands during a race. Up close at least. At least Cubs game, they have a fan cam where they show the fans in the stand from time to time. But I will be watching / looking for you.
I really hope that you have a GREAT trip and enjoy EVERYTHING about it. Hope your race is exciting and that Edwards will win for you - cast aside all the drama from Atlanta. I am looking forward to hearing all about it! I am very excited for you and happy that you get to go. I love the Bristol races! (I love them all, but Bristol is one of my favorites of them all...

You are way more positive than the movies than I am or ever will be. You are not the only person that said Burt didn't do a good job with Boss. I like Burt so maybe my opinion with him was biased when I went in there. (Afterall my favorite movie is the FIRST Smokey and The Bandit. What's your's?) The most disturbing character for me was Willie as Uncle Jesse. . .(all of this about the movie is my opinion. Of course.)
But yeat perhaps if I got past the fact that they were suppose to be the Dukes, I would think a little better of it. But that isn't my normal taste in movies I guess you would say. I'm more action/police type movie. Like I said, if they did the movie perfectly based on the Dukes, I'd still have a hard time liking it. Though I probably would have enjoyed it, it is still not the DUkes without John, Tom, Cathy, Denver and so on. If you know what I mean...

Once again, thank-you for listening into him (hope you don't spend all the time listening to him (though I think I would. HA HA eh him and Johnson) anyway, just time to time or what not. Anything is fine here.) Cant' wait to hear what you have to report! Then again, I can't wait to hear about your whole trip...and to see the pictures you post!
Consider yourself in my thoughts this weekend! -
Thank-you!
I have always thought it would be interesting to listen into the drivers and to hear what they say. Well sometimes. LOL. You ever see that Coca-Cola commercial? Where at the beginning all the drivers are upset and mad and then they drink their Coke and they all begin singing even though they're crashing? I find it funny...dont' knwo why the whole listening into the drivers reminded me of that, but it did. I bet Jr and Edwards are interesting to listen into as well. Liked hearing it during the race at Daytona for Jr. Hopefully Edwards will win the race for you, though I am going for Gordon to win. HA HA. I am counterdicting myself this Sunday I guess.
I've heard Gordon get upset on teh radio from what the announcers play from time to time as well. Though nothing he said made him sound bad or anything.

That is neat that your mom pegged what you will be or do. And that she was pretty close if not correct in them. Eh your muse is shy is he/she? I have a shy or quiet muse in Kristy while Garrett is just plain ol' mean, stubborn, and ornery. Oh well...don't know what else to do with him other than keep him. Though I've threatened to tie him to a rail road tracks before. HA HA. Don't think that'd last too long.
-
Wow...today's your last day of work...lucky you. I am really happy and excited for you.I hope you have a great trip and get to watch an exciting race. You aren't rubbing it in...I was only giving you a hard time. I am happy to hear about your trip and do want to hear ALL about it when you return. Understand? LOL. And three cars in a row, I would think would be convoy.

(Thank-you to all who allowed me to perticipate in this RR and not telling me to get lost. It has been a long time since I last had participated in an RR and it was nice to be in one again. I had a lot of fun of writing and reading other people's posts and to see where it had led. Thank-you!)

Well my favorite originally Duke character is Bo, but Luke is shortly after him on my list and then Jesse. I agree with you, they all make the show. You miss one, it ain't right. But Bo has always been my favorite...Hmmm favorite episode. I like the first five episodes of the Dukes, The Ghost of General Lee, Ten Million Dollar Sheriff, and like yorus, the list goes on and on. I am sure I will later think of others to add onto the list that I am not thinking of right now. Though I have to admit, sadly, it's been forever since I watched an ep. Hopefully sometime soon I will change that. . .

You really want my opinions on the Duke movies? Well I strongly dislike them and disagree with them. OK I'll admit, I only watched the first one and that wtas only because I wanted to at least give it a chance and am sorry I had. To me it was everything the DUkes weren't. The only thing that reminded me of the old Dukes was the plot behind it and the only character I thougth stayed the same wy as the old was Boss. I thought Burt Reynolds did a great job with him. Other than that...it wasn't the Dukes. I didn't even attempt to watch the other one.
OK I will shut up about it before I go any farther. I apologize if you do like them...do you?...it is just how I feel about them. Then again, even if they did everything perfect, it still wouldn't be The Dukes I love. But I was willing to give the first move a chance at least. What you think of them?
