I don't mind Tennessee winning...I am a huge Lady Vols fan (of coarse unless they play Notre Dame) ...and another good sports moment today...USC lost...

Went into OT and the Vols won by a field goal! YAY! I love the Lady Vols too! Come on down, and go to one of the games with me. My hubby's one of them, realtors used to play for Pat Summitt.

If I am ever that far south, I will look you up....thanks...and contgrats to your UT team...

Thanks Irisheyes! All the fans were shocked! YAY! Maybe Phillip Fulmer will keep his job. LOL! Look me up, we'll go to a Lady Vols game, I'm serious!!

will do...

FYI, I should have posted this yesterday, but the Toys for Tots today all Harley riders, and anybody with a bike! Couls cause, my hubby went but it's too cold for me! I did go last year, it's a long ride! It's worth the smiles on people standing on streets and overpasses to wave. Yht police do escort the ride! The kids need it, badly.

I can't spell today!

*bug*

There have been whispers and rumors for a few years of the Red Sox going after A-Rod-Please NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Can't stand himespecially since the time a few years ago when he was running to first and tried to slap the ball like a girl out of Bronson Arroyo's hand. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v627/and...h/ArodPurse.jpg
I hope they keep Mike Lowell but many are saying this will be his last season with the Sox.

What about Jacoby Ellsbury??? He's been amazing! Plus-totally irrelevant here- he is adorable- if I was a teenage girl I'd have a poster of him hanging on my wall for sure. LOL

sfeclitza this is the pic I am seeing in all of your posts (it's in the upper left corner)



Is this not the pic you want, or do you want it to post in another location in your messages or what?

I agree about Jacoby...he is a hottie and if I were only 20 years younger...

and I don't think they want A-Rod...the yankees are going to resign him to a rediculous contract...

now that sounds like fun! but it would have been too cold here to go for a ride. ~_~

Hey girlfriend, I'm not a Harley chick, but my hubby loves it! It's a great cause, the kids need all the support they can get. It's all about giving back if ya can!

very true. its nice how these organizations think of new creative ways for people to get involved. awww no motorcycles for you? my mom is the same way. my dad used to have a bike. the closest thing i have been to a bike is at the toy store! lol!! i just like going to rides ^__^

congrats to the Red Sox ... but what a clunker of a series. next year maybe a more competetive team from the NL will survive the regular season long enough to make it to the big game.

*bug*

I was hoping the Red Sox could win it in front of their home crowd this time...but I am just happy they won and really tired...can't they play a short game....even once...lol

^^^ It's all those commercials! LOL

Yay!! Way to go Sox!

LOL.. I feel your pain.

*bug*

Thanks...I am glad someone can sympathize with me...lol...almost 90% of my students are Yankee fans and it gives me great pleasure to rub it in to them today...

Not bragging here (well, maybe just a little), but back in July when Jacoby was called up for 2 weeks, my hubby and I knew then and there that he was going to make it big! He was awesome this series and, while I am happy Lowell was named MVP, I was hoping Jacoby would get the prize. Watch out for next year- the kid is HUNGRY!

My dad said the same thing....He should be there again next year...maybe instead of Coco...(I will miss him)...but because he didn't have enough at bats, he will still be a rookie again next season....

Ellsbury has been amazing. No nerves-nuthin'. Imagine being that young and winning a World Series? I don't think Coco will be back-they were already talking last night about Jacoby playing centerfield next year.

By the way-was anyone else annoyed that they spent so much time during last night's game talking about A-Rod? I was.

Being from NY and being a Yankee fan, I was interested in hearing about ARod, but give me a break- they beat that horse dead. We were NOT watching a Yankee game, so IMO they should have cannaed the chatter about it and focus on the team at hand. Steinbrenner and his sons are killing the team, ARod is being a HOG, and the whole thing is a turn off as a fan. I was rooting full blown for the Sox since July - - I'm a FED up Yankee fan.

Welcome to Red Sox nation CI!!!!

so tired...must sleeep....been up for the better part of a day...more than..must.sleep.

My parents Wedding ceremony was Great, but we ended up having it in the Chapel instead of the Church, seems they had a funeral come up so it had to be moved, but I didn't find out until I went into the church and saw the open coffin. Boy was a shocked. I went back outside, waited for awhile then my Mom and Dad drove up, and told me about the move, Told mom, I was afraid to walk up and see who was in the coffin thought dad was trying to get out of getting married, ( bad joke I know). But we had a great day, Beautiful weather.

Welcome to Red Sox Nation....it is an awesome place to be...

I don't want the Sox to acquire a 3rd baseman who can't hit his own weight in the post season...I am perfectly happy with Mike Lowell who hit over .400 in the world series...and that news should have broken not during our game, but after it was over...I don't mind an interuption during the celebration, but to know it before the game was over was a classless thing to do IMHO....

Sorry I don't have a baseball story. I really know nothing about baseball--umm....you aren't going to throw anything, are you? My kids are big baseball fans, does that count for anything? Anyway, this seemed like the best place to share this.
I was doing highway cleanup with a group from church yesterday--yep, this is what we do for fun at 7:00 on a Sunday morning! When we were close to being done, I was working with one of the men in an area with some fairly high weeds. I told him, "You know, if this were a L&O episode, someone would be finding a dead body about now." He laughed and commented that it always seems to be a cleanup crew or a jogger who finds the bodies. A few minutes later, 2 people working from the other direction met up with us. One of them is my best friend. She told me, "I found a body! And a little way further I found a head! I thought about you with your L&O". What she found was a decapitated Cabbage Patch doll. She said she also found a pair of gloves and thinks they may have been worn by the killer. She "bagged" the evidence, but sadly, Cal-Trans will be picking it up sometime this week. I don't know if even Bobby can solve this one once the evidence is sent to the landfill.

Cool story...thanks for sharing...and you don't need a baseball story....

Yeah so I was wondering the other day..Has anybody on this board met Vincent D'Onofrio?...just wondering. I'd like to hear your story if you have.

Oh I wish!!! If I had met him I probably wouldn't have a story to tell because I would have passed out and would have no memory of it! But I'm curious, too, if anyone on this board has ever met him.

Anyone seen 1408 just watched the DVD really enjoyed the movie, was a great thriller.

My daughter saw it in the theater and again this weekend on DVD. She and her friends LOVED it. But it looks too scary for me. She may talk me into watching it one of these days.

ive heard mixed reviews about it, but i think it looks good. i give all movies a chance. maybe i will rent it so i can watch something scary for halloween

I saw it in theatres and I enjoyed. It's fairly nerve wrenching and suspenseful. I haven't read the original story but I liked it. Parts at the begininng were a little slow with exposition by Samuel L. Jackson that didn't have a whole lot of bearing on the rest of the story.

wasnt 1408 based off a steven king book? i think i heard that somewhere, but im not sure. that man has written so many, its hard to keep up! lol!! ^__^

I've heard that too. But I don't know if it is a short story or a full length novel. Or maybe a novella. I've never read Steven King but I heard the books are better than any adaptation of any of his stories.

The Shawshank Redemption was really good (Based on the short story Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption.) The Green Mile was really good, too (based on the book of the same name).

I haven't read the Shawshank book, but a friend of mine said that The Green Mile (book) was really good.

Speaking of Movies, has anyone seen 'Gone Baby Gone', i was considering seeing it but i'm not sure if i want to spend the 10 bucks to see it in theater, or maybe just waiting til it comes out on DvD and buying it for 15.

Never saw it, but I am not a horror movie person...

It looks like the rumors are true that Joe Torre will now manage the Dodgers....Grady Little was bought out of his contract yesterday

I'm thinking of ya today, ya know why too! I just wanted you to know that! KR

thanks

HAPPY HALLOWEENIE!!
