I am so excited to see the Bears season begin!!

I was working 3rd shift and was just getting home (about a block away) when the news of the first plane crash came on the car radio. Like someone else said I just figured it was probably a small plane and nothing more. Terrible but not anything more than that. I got home went immediately to bed and woke up about 11:00am. I turned on the Score and thought something pretty bad must be going on if they're not talking sports. Flipped on the TV and was horrified by it all. My ex-wife's aunt worked at the World Trade Center and her husband had worked at the Pentagon. As it turned out she had been late for work that morning and was on her way when it all went down. Her husband was in Washington on his way to the Pentagon just to see some old friends (he had recently retired). So as luck would have it, he hadn't got to the Pentagon yet. I remember too how the White Sox were in New York at the time. When the schedule resumed about a week later it was the Yankees that the Sox were playing but in Chicago. I remember a very somber feeling in the ballpark.

Nina Mani Mates! Here's to another great year!

I'm not sure how much George wrote on it, but it seems like ringo did most of it (unlike some of his songs like photograph). Either way, saying he is worthless to the band is stupid. His vocals in octopus's garden, yellow submarine, with a little help from my friends, and a couple others are perfect. Any other beatle singing it wouldn't be as good. Ringo vocals I particularly like are "I Wanna Be Your Man", "Boys" and "Don't Pass Me By". His solo "It Don't Come Easy" was really good too.

"My favorite piece of me is what I did on 'Rain.' I think I just played amazing. I was into the snare and hi-hat. I think it was the first time I used the trick of starting a break by hitting the hi-hat first instead of going directly to a drum off the hi-hat. I think it's the best out of all the records I've ever made. 'Rain' blows me away. It's out in left field. I know me and I know my playing... and then there's 'Rain.'" --Ringo, 1984

I believe for every drop of rain that falls A flower grows, I believe that somewhere in the darkest night A candle glows, I believe for everyone who goes astray, Someone will come to show the way, I believe, I believe. I believe above the storm a smallest prayer Will still be heard, I believe that someone in the great somewhere Hears every word, Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, Or touch a leaf, or see the sky, Then I know why, I believe. Every time I hear a newborn baby cry, Or touch a leaf, or see the sky, Then I know why, I believe

Well then. I say, there's a good fellow now.

I voted for the White album, though my favorite changes all the time, the White album is the one that I'm always coming back to. I love the Beatles Second album probably most amongst the early ones. Favorite Beatle always was and always will be John Lennon.

Righto, my good chap!

Congrats!!

Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea and frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called Honah Lee.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 01:50 PM) I think we sacrificed all of our "Backup catcher" luck in 2005. Widger came here and got better. Ever since, everyone who has come to Chicago to backup AJ has gotten worse. How old is Ron Karkovice???

Time for a BIG INNING!!!!

Pretty important for Danks to get out of this inning unscathed the way Lester is pitching.

Detroit losing 3-1. Let's get those runs back.

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 6, 2009 -> 01:04 PM) You say average I say solid. Every player has things to improve upon. He's one of the top rookies in the league. I predicted his success in the predictions thread at the beginning of the season so its not like I'm jumping on the bandwagon while he's been hot. Getz Bandwagoneer!

Time to GET SOME RUNS!!!
